Angel Reese has initiated a $10 million lawsuit against fellow basketball star Caitlin Clark, accusing her of making defamatory comments during a live broadcast. Reese claims that Clark’s statement was deeply offensive and damaging to her reputation.

The incident reportedly occurred during a live video where Clark, a prominent WNBA player, allegedly remarked, “She uses her physical attraction in exchange for popularity.” Reese, who has established a strong presence in both basketball and media, felt the comment was inaccurate and harmful to her personal and professional life.

The lawsuit alleges that Clark’s remarks were intended to damage Reese’s reputation and career. Reese denies any such behavior and argues that the comments were unfounded and harmful, misrepresenting her character to the public, including her supporters and peers.
