Angel Reese sends strong words to those portraying her as a villain

Angel didn’t hold back in several tweets regarding her public image and how others have profited from it.  First she said, “I’ve never in my life had privilege but I definitely know the power I have through my platform. That didn’t come overnight. I grew that on my OWN. With that being said, I will continue to use my voice in the right way & say what’s right even though it has backfired on me to be this “villain”. I won’t stop!!”

She then followed up with another tweet directing some blame squarely at those in the media.  “For the past 2 years, the media has benefited from my pain & me being villainized to create a narrative. They allowed this. This was beneficial to them. I sometimes share my experiences of things that have happened to me but I’ve also allowed this to happen to me for way too long and now other players in this league are dealing with & experiencing the same things. This isn’t ok at all. Anything beyond criticism about playing the game we love is wrong. I’m sorry to all the players that have/continue to experience the same things I have…. This is why I started my podcast.

To take my voice back and create the narrative of who I really am. At the end of the day, I don’t want an apology nor do I think this will ever stop but something has to change…” She also fired off one more shot.

It’s been a rough 24 hours for Angel. Those tweets appeared an hour before news broke of the Sky firing Teresa Weatherspoon.
