Ex-NFL QB Hits Angel Reese With Serious Accusations Amid Caitlin Clark Drama originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Despite what both players have said publicly, there appears to be some bad blood between Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese and Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark.
The drama between the two reached another level on Thursday when former Washington Commanders quarterback Robert Griffin III levied some pretty serious accusations against Reese for what he believes was retaliation for claims he made about Reese hating Clark after she was fouled in the Fever-Sky season opener.
“I have been quiet on the Angel Reese front because she shared a video that aided in my wife, kids, family and friends receiving death threats, threats of physical harm to my family and friends and threats of sexual violence to my children on social media and beyond,” Griffin III wrote on X while defending Reese from a racist post about her being on the “NBA2K26” cover — an honor many fans were upset Reese received instead of Clark.
“That will never be okay with me. I never attacked her or her family when I stated and backed up with clear basketball evidence that Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark. It’s sports. Everybody won’t like each other. … All that being said, Angel Reese or any Black man or woman should never be called or depicted as a Monkey. Ever.”

It’s staring us all right in the face, but people are afraid to say it.
Won’t answer questions about Caitlin Clark.

Reese seemingly responded to Griffin III’s accusatory message with a social media post of her own.
“Lying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work,” Reese wrote on X, seemingly in response to Griffin III’s message.

Reese’s response caught Griffin III’s attention, prompting him to fire back again in her direction, maintaining that he was telling the truth.
“I spoke up in support of Angel Reese against racism not to start drama,” Griffin III added. “But I won’t let anyone twist the truth just because it’s inconvenient to them. Instead of trying to check me, just tighten up your circle.
“They calling me and saying you hate Caitlin Clark, not the other way around. I have zero interest in being the villain in anyone’s story. I just want to have fun, tell the truth and celebrate sports. But I won’t pretend or lie just to protect feelings.”
It’s not known what video Reese shared that led to the death threats Griffin III was referencing.
