The Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark saga just took a jaw-dropping turn — and this time, it’s not coming from a fellow basketball player, but from a retired NFL legend with zero fear of speaking his mind.
In a fiery podcast appearance that’s already going viral, the former football star — whose name carries weight both on the field and in the media — accused LSU’s Angel Reese of being “a dirty liar” when it comes to her public comments about Iowa’s Caitlin Clark. The bombshell? He claims there are 20 separate instances where Reese allegedly twisted facts, exaggerated situations, or outright misrepresented what really happened between her and Clark.
“She’s building her brand on drama, not on truth,” the ex-NFL star said. “You can’t keep spinning lies and expect people not to notice. And the receipts are all there.”
According to the former NFL player, these alleged “lies” range from game-related trash talk being taken out of context, to accusations of Clark disrespecting Reese that video footage apparently contradicts. In one high-profile example, Reese claimed that Clark “never gave her credit” after a big NCAA tournament game — but archived interviews show Clark praising Reese’s performance multiple times.
Fans are already torn. Some are demanding Reese release a statement to defend herself, while others believe the NFL legend’s blunt takedown is exactly the reality check the young star needs. Social media is flooded with side-by-side clips, screenshots, and threads attempting to fact-check every claim Reese has made over the past two years.
For her part, Angel Reese has so far stayed quiet on the accusations, though sources close to her suggest she’s “furious” and considering a direct response. Whether she’ll confront the list of alleged lies head-on or try to move past the controversy remains to be seen.
Caitlin Clark, meanwhile, has stayed entirely out of the drama, sticking to her on-court dominance and massive brand growth. But the contrast between Clark’s business-focused silence and Reese’s headline-grabbing feuds is exactly what the NFL legend says is costing Reese millions in potential sponsorships.
If these 20 claims turn out to be verifiable, this could mark one of the most damaging moments of Reese’s young career. And in the high-stakes world of sports branding, public trust can vanish faster than a fast-break layup.
