Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky’s rookie sensation, has found herself at the center of controversy once again. This time, it’s not for her on-court prowess but for a New Year’s Day dress that ignited a wave of online criticism, prompting the young athlete to delete her Instagram account. The backlash has reignited discussions about the relentless scrutiny faced by women in sports, especially women of color, and has drawn an outpouring of support from fans demanding change.
Reese’s decision to step away from Instagram came after intense online backlash targeting her fashion choice. Critics were quick to pile on, with negative comments overshadowing what should have been a simple personal moment. However, the reaction also sparked a groundswell of support for the 22-year-old athlete.
