WNBA sensation Angel Reese has stirred up quite the buzz, and not just on the court. The Chicago Sky star recently deleted her Instagram account just days after posting a stunning snapshot of her daring New Year's Eve outfit. As of January 3, her Instagram profile has vanished from the social media landscape, leaving fans and followers scratching their heads.
The controversy ignited when Reese shared a video of her striking brown dress, which featured spaghetti straps, a bold cut-out design, and a daring side slit. She completed her glam look with chic accessories, including a black purse, white and gold bracelets, and shining gold earrings. While some admired her fearlessness and style, others took to social media to criticize the outfit as too revealing.
Comments on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) ranged from playful jabs, “She has a lot of trust in that string,” to more pointed critiques, “This girl just wants more attention but doesn’t want to hoop.” However, a wave of support followed, with fans defending her right to express herself: “She looks amazing!” exclaimed one supporter, while another passionately noted, “She’s 22! She’s young and fly and supposed to stunt right now. I don’t understand all the hate and negativity.”
Much of the backlash has been met with a strong rebuttal from fans, urging detractors not to sexualize her. “Nobody sexualize her, please!” one follower pleaded, emphasizing the importance of respecting Reese as a young woman and athlete.
Beyond the drama of her social media presence, Angel Reese is making waves in the world of women’s sports. During her groundbreaking debut season with the Chicago Sky, she made history as the first rookie to achieve an All-Star Game double-double and set a record with 24 double-doubles – a first for rookies in the WNBA.
On the financial front, Reese is also making headlines. She recently signed a lucrative four-year contract with the Chicago Sky, worth $324,383, with an annual salary projected at $73,439 for the upcoming season. In addition to her WNBA earnings, she’s expected to rake in over $1 million from various brand endorsements.
Reese’s deals include partnerships with big-name brands like Reebok—where she has launched her own collection called “Angel’s Picks.” She’s also teamed up with other major companies, such as Beats by Dre and Amazon, accumulating an estimated $1.8 million from these endorsements.
In a recent appearance at ComplexCon, Reese clarified rumors about her net worth, stating that the widely reported figure of $2 million was “way off." She expressed gratitude for her financial stability, stating how it allows her to support her family and contribute to a better life for those around her. “I’m able to soon retire my mom. I can pay my mom’s mortgage. My family, everybody’s taken care of,” she shared, emphasizing the importance of her success beyond personal gain.
As the young athlete continues to navigate the complexities of fame, fashion, and financial success, all eyes will undoubtedly remain on Angel Reese—and her next moves, both on and off the court! Stay tuned for updates on this rising star who isn’t afraid to break barriers!
