Angel Reese has finally said it out loud: she’s being sued by Candace Owens.
The news exploded across social media, leaving WNBA fans stunned as Reese broke her silence on the legal drama that could change everything for her career on and off the court. How did it all get here? And why has Reese suddenly become the center of one of the most controversial battles in women’s basketball?
The reactions are pouring in, the debate is heating up, and the stakes for the league have never been higher.
Candace Parker Caught in the Crossfire
At the same time, another Candace has found herself at the heart of the Angel Reese storm — WNBA legend Candace Parker.
The three-time champion, who just launched a new podcast Post Moves with Aliyah Boston, is facing fierce backlash after using Reese’s name in the very first teaser clip.
Parker insisted she wasn’t a “hater,” but fans weren’t buying it. Social media lit up with accusations that she was just chasing clicks:
“Candace, we still talking about Angel?!”
“Speaking about Angel must be the only way to stay relevant.”
“This woman needs to take Angel’s name out of her mouth.”
Even Boston seemed caught off guard by Parker’s pointed question about who might replace Reese.
Why Everyone Is Talking About Angel Reese
Like it or not, Parker knows the truth: Angel Reese drives numbers. With over 11 million followers across platforms, she’s by far the most visible star in the WNBA.
Reese herself has leaned into the spotlight with her own show Unapologetically Angel, which notably used Caitlin Clark’s image in its debut episode to spark attention.
So when Parker dropped her “spicy” take, the clip exploded — racking up over a million views within hours, fueled by the very backlash that fans thought would bury it.
What Happens Next?
With a lawsuit from Candace Owens looming and Candace Parker stirring headlines by attaching Reese’s name to her new podcast, one thing is clear: Angel Reese has become the lightning rod of the WNBA.
The only question now — is all this noise the price of superstardom, or the start of something much bigger that could reshape her future in the league?
