Not too long ago, Reese was introduced as one of many featured covers this 12 months’s wildly fashionable NBA 2K26 online game, and per traditional, the racist trolls went out of their strategy to publish among the most racist and misogynistic reactions to the information. These reactions included photoshopping Reese off the duvet and inserting a monkey on it. So unique.
Regardless of his previous transgressions, RGIII tried to come back to Reese’s protection by posting a prolonged tweet that unnecessarily doubled down on this previous declare that Reese hates Clark. Moreover, he accused Reese of selling violence towards his household, sexual assault towards his kids, and harassment of his household and associates.

All people received’t like one another.”

“I agree. That’s why I recommend you name Angel Reese and cease posting about her,” she wrote.
Angel Reese’s mother additionally entered the chat to name RGIII a liar.
We don’t count on Robert Griffin III to be taught something or replicate on his actions, and that solely goes to indicate that former ESPN author Rob Parker was all the time proper; the man is only a cornball brotha.
