WNBA superstar Angel Reese roasted NFL legend Robert Griffin III for his assertion that the rising Chicago Sky forward "hates" Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark.
In a controversial X (formerly Twitter) post shared on Wednesday, July 10, RGIII accused Reese of sharing 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."
The NFL legend went on to claim that "Angel Reese has grown to hate Caitlin Clark because of the media always asking her about Caitlin and being constantly compared to her. Some people made it about race, but I never did and never will. Instead of becoming the villain in anyone’s story, I decided to just not."
That assertion didn't sit well with Reese, who immediately took to her own X account to address the matter.
"Lying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work," she wrote, seemingly addressing RGIII's claim, though not directly tagging the former Washington quarterback.
Undeterred, RGIII returned to X to address Reese directly.
"Instead of trying to check me, just tighten up your circle," he wrote. "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."
RGIII first claimed that Reese and Clark had an ongoing rivalry back in May 2025, when he claimed that the pair's rivalry went beyond the basketball court — a claim Clark herself denied.
"Let's not make it anything that it's not. It was just a good play on the basketball. I'm not sure what the refs saw to upgrade it. That's up to their discretion," she said to reporters at the time.
Clark has not commented on RGIII's most recent claims.
