Angel Reese might have had a quiet season this year on the hardwood. But that did not stop her from extending her horizons beyond the basketball court. In a recent development, Reese was lauded by Lisa Leslie for winning the 2025 LeagueFits MVP. For the uninitiated, this award is presented to the athlete who has taken exceptional steps in terms of fashion. Sadly, the Sky star’s endeavors outside of the basketball field have drawn significant criticism. Thus, when reality TV star Olandria Lashae took a stand for the Chi-town Barbie, the WNBA superstar could not hide her excitement.
Surely, controversies have become quite synonymous with Reese. And in recent times, she has been facing a lot of flak from her haters. But as it turns out, there are some renowned personalities who are not afraid to stand up for the Sky star.

And all these efforts were highly appreciated by Lashae recently. A well-known model and television personality, Lashae hit back at people who disliked Reese for who she was. And that was not all.

Etan Thomas Lashes Out At Angel Reese For Her Comments
As the Chicago Sky struggled to find its footing this season, Reese came up with an explosive interview on the Chicago Tribunal. She lashed out at the front office and asked them to add more quality players to the roster. The 23-year-old also pointed out that failing to do so might lead to her exploring other options. On top of that, Reese stated that other than Kamilla Cardoso, she did not think anyone else in the squad would be eligible for a return next season.
Reacting to the same, former NBA star Etan Thomas stated, “I would say as a rule, I would say that you never talk bad about your teammates to the media,” He said. “I would say that a better way to say the same exact message that she was conveying would have been, ‘We need to get better, we have to do better next year’. We cannot and use ‘we’ over and over again,” said Thomas.
Thus, it is evident that things are quite hot and cold with Reese. Thankfully, with all the support coming in for the Chi-Town Barbie, the WNBA star will surely feel a lot more at ease.
