Angel Reese, Who Posed In Skimpy Bikini For SI Swimsuit, Can't Believe People Sexualize Her
Angel Reese made a truly delusional and stunning comment following LSU losing to Iowa.
The Hawkeyes and Caitlin Clark pulled off an awesome 94-87 win over the Tigers to advance to the Final Four and send Reese and her teammates home.
It was a hell of a game, and millions of fans soaked it all up Monday night. However, things took a dark turn when Reese made some troubling comments after the action was finished.
Angel Reese complains about being sexualized.
Reese, who was fighting tears, spoke to the media after the loss, and she brought up a topic I'm sure nobody in the room was expecting:
Being sexualized.
The LSU star seemed to be in a true state of shock that people have "sexualized" her, which is an incredibly odd thing to say considering she posted for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
"Death threats, I've been sexualized, I've been threatened...I'm still a human. All this has happened since I won the national championship, and I said the other day, I haven't been happy since then," a clearly crushed Reese, who talked about her love of modeling after beating UCLA, told the media.
Last month, Reese did tweet about alleged "fake AI pictures" without offering any further explanation as to what the images might have shown. No images are found online as of Tuesday morning, and it's unclear if that played any role in her comments.
You can watch her comments below, and then we'll unpack it.
First off, let me make it clear that threatening anyone isn't acceptable, and it shouldn't ever be allowed to be normalized. Anyone sending death threats should be dealt with in the appropriate manner, and I say that as someone who just had to deal with one from an insane LSU fan.
However, Reese seems to be a bit off base with the complaint people have sexualized her. Why? Because she posed for the most famous swimsuit publication on the planet.
The entire point of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is to put women in bikinis and then sell it to customers. It's a business model that seems to have worked well - minus a few woke choices.
If you appear in SI Swimsuit, you're inherently sexualizing yourself. I'm not saying a woman should or shouldn't appear in it. However, let's not get confused.
SI Swimsuit survives on sex appeal, and everyone posing in it knows exactly what they're doing. In what world can you be paid to be a swimsuit model posing in a skimpy bikini and then act shocked if people view you in a sexual manner?
Furthermore, Reese is very literally at the top of SI Swimsuit's Instagram page as of publication. Seriously, what planet is Angel Reese living on?
However, she must never have ever posted sexual content on her own, right? Clearly, she hates being looked at. Wait, what do we have here?
Oh, Angel Reese dropping revealing content online for clout. Interesting. There are a ton of examples on her social media, but her Instagram embeds appear turned off.
However, there's plenty of bikini content of her online.
It's hard to take this complaint seriously when Reese is going out of her way to post sexualized content. If she's that bothered by it, why are there bikini shots all over her Instagram?
Why did she appear in a wildly sexually aggressive music video?
