Angel Reese slammed over ‘gross’ act: ‘Great girl for kids to look up to’
Angel Reese has been criticized for twerking in a viral video from the Unrivaled camp this weekend – with fans calling her antics ‘gross’.
The Chicago Sky star is currently gearing up for the inaugural season of Unrivaled, a new three-on-three women’s basketball league that takes place during the WNBA’s offseason.
And ahead of Friday’s opening night — when she’ll be lining up for the “Rose Club” — Reese could be seen joking around with some of her costars.
In a video that sparked controversy online, she showed off her twerking skills alongside Las Vegas Aces star Chelsea Gray at camp.
The clip was captured by Marina Mabrey, Reese’s former Chicago teammate who was traded to the Connecticut Sun in July, and shared with her 34,000 followers on TikTok.
However, some fans were quick to condemn Reese for her feisty antics.

One said sarcastically of X: “Great girl for the kids to look up to.”
“Whatever it takes to get attention,” wrote another.
While people simply say: ‘Gross’.
At the end of her college career in early 2024, Reese claimed she was being “sexualized” in women’s basketball when discussing some of the online abuse she had been subjected to.
Another user commented on the viral video of her twerking and joked, “Don’t sexualize her!”
Reese, who caused confusion earlier this month by mysteriously deleting her Instagram account, appears to be on good terms with Mabrey despite rumors that the ex-Sky Guard left Chicago this summer due to a conflict between them.
Over the weekend, Mabrey put those rumors to rest once and for all as she filmed another video with Reese as they both got ready for the new Unrivaled competition.

“Money Mabrey, I have a plot. People want to know. Marina, did you leave Chicago because of me?’ Angel initially said in the clip.
‘No!’ Marina responded before the former teammates started laughing. “I love Angel, real people know that.”
When Mabrey was traded to the Connecticut Sun in July, she said she wanted to keep the reason she left town “in-house.”
She then said she wanted to play for a team that could win championships, as the Sky were one of only four teams to not make the WNBA postseason last year.
