Angel Reese was trending again after white bikini mirror photos resurfaced online, and WNBA fans reacted in sharply divided fashion.
The images were reposted by @femcrave, who captioned them, “angel reese is so FLAWLESS.” That praise quickly opened the floodgates for both support and criticism.

As expected, WNBA fans did not hold back. One of the most circulated negative replies came from @asdfs01234, who wrote, “Never in shape, stretch marks yuck, looks like Anthony Davis in make-up.”
The comment gathered significant engagement, reflecting how quickly harsh takes gain traction whenever Reese becomes the topic.
At the same time, a large group of WNBA fans pushed in the opposite direction. @addictionbaddie, whose comment became one of the most liked under the post, simply wrote, “her body tea.”
The short reply summed up a wider defense of Reese, with supporters praising confidence rather than perfection.
The split highlights a familiar pattern. Reese’s photos draw attention that isn’t just about appearance but about how visible female athletes are treated online. For many WNBA fans, the criticism goes beyond one photo and into broader conversations around body standards and who gets judged the hardest.
What stands out is how quickly both sides mobilize. WNBA fans who dislike Reese’s public image react instantly, while supporters respond just as fast, often drowning out negativity with engagement. The post itself did not include commentary from Reese, but the reaction cycle played out the same way it always does.
Once again, Reese became a trending topic without saying a word. For WNBA fans watching online, her presence alone is enough to spark debate, and this resurfaced post proved that dynamic is still very much alive.
WNBA Fans Flood Angel Reese With Love After AR1 Christmas Gift Posts Take Over Social Media
While criticism followed resurfaced bikini photos, a different side of Angel Reese’s online presence emerged during the Christmas season. WNBA fans shifted focus after Reese shared a post celebrating supporters buying her newly released AR1 shoes as gifts.
Posting from her official account @Reese10Angel, Reese wrote,
“I love seeing you guys get my shoes for Christmas [pleading face emoji] Merry Christmas everyone! I love youuuu [Santa emoji][folded hands emoji][heart emoji].”

The message was met with an overwhelmingly positive response from WNBA fans.
One reply that stood out came from @iamyourashley_, who shared a photo showing two boxes and pairs of AR1s in black and pink. Her reply read, “Yes [heart emoji].”
The image echoed many similar posts, with fans proudly showing off their purchases.
Another common reaction came from @grandekordei, who wrote, “merry christmas queenie [heart hands emoji].”
That phrase appeared repeatedly in different forms, signaling how WNBA fans were rallying around Reese during the holiday moment.
Unlike the debates sparked by resurfaced photos, this exchange was straightforward. WNBA fans focused on support, brand loyalty, and shared excitement. There were few arguments and almost no negativity in comparison.
The contrast between reactions highlights how Reese’s online presence shifts depending on context. When performance or image becomes the focus, WNBA fans divide. When milestones or fan appreciation come into play, the tone changes quickly.
As the AR1 rollout continues, WNBA fans remain deeply engaged. Whether defending her or celebrating with her, they continue to make Reese one of the most talked-about figures connected to the league online.
