New Year, Same Nonsense 🙄
She’s not just talented; she’s confident…
I can’t believe we live in a world where Angel Reese felt like she had to delete her Instagram over a New Year’s Eve dress. Reese, a WNBA All-Star and rookie phenom, wore a dress that said, “It’s NYE, I’m fabulous, mind your business,” and instead of clapping, the internet lost its sh*t. Imagine being so fragile that someone else’s outfit ruins your day. Truly, get a grip.
Double Standards Much?
The backlash in WNBA news Reese faced wasn’t just over the top—it was an exhausting display of performative outrage. Women athletes can’t seem to win. Express yourself? You’re “too much.” Stay quiet? You’re “boring.” Reese dared to look confident, sexy, and unapologetically herself, and for that, she got torn apart. I’m sorry, but why can’t women in sports wear a killer dress without the world acting like it’s a scandal?

And the double standard isn’t new. Livvy Dunne posts in bikinis and racks up millions of likes. Ilona Maher’s TikToks are a fan favorite. Naomi Osaka graces magazine covers with stunning outfits, including bikinis. None of them received even a fraction of the hate Reese did. The difference? Reese beat Caitlin Clark in the NCAA championship and dared to own it. People can’t stand to see her winning; WNBA games and beyond.
Living Rent-Free in Their Heads
Angel Reese’s stats speak for themselves: 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds per game in her rookie season, plus a historic rebounding record. And she did it all while navigating a constant stream of criticism.
She’s not just talented; she’s confident—a combo that seems to terrify some people. WNBA picks and predictions might focus on her gameplay, but the unnecessary hate distracts from what really matters: she’s a damn good player and person.
I’m betting the odds are Reese just lives rent-free in the minds of her haters. And honestly? They should pay her for the space.

Let’s stop pretending this is about a dress. It’s about control—about people feeling uncomfortable when a young, successful, confident woman owns her space. Reese’s decision to delete her Instagram is a reminder that the hate isn’t just loud; it’s exhausting. But here’s hoping she knows she’s got an army of fans who see her for what she is: a game-changer. And that NYE dress? Gorgeous. Anyone saying otherwise is just mad they can’t pull it off.
they hate you online but love you in person.

Let’s all take a moment to see the hypocrisy for what it is unless you’re judging Reese for looking stunning in that dress. Because, in that case, we’re all in agreement.
