Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese has recently found herself at the center of attention amid a wave of controversy.
Following criticism for a flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark during Sunday’s game against the Fever, Reese’s remarks about officiating further fueled the discussion.
In the midst of this scrutiny, a surfaced interview on Tuesday hinted at Reese’s growing distrust of media and potential mental health challenges she may be facing.
However, amidst these challenges, Reese has found solace and support from the city of Chicago. In a TikTok video shared on Wednesday, Reese expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support, stating:
“Chicago is like… y’all I got my hair, nails, and lashes done. All of them done bought me flowers.” She added, “All of them made me feel like… love. I feel really loved [in Chicago]. Real bad.”
This display of affection and encouragement from her new community is a positive development for Reese, providing her with a sense of reassurance amid ongoing controversies.
