BREAKING: Megyn Kelly BLASTS Angel Reese After Fake Racism Claims Against Caitlin Clark Are EXPOSED!

In a fiery on-air segment that’s already making headlines, political commentator and media personality Megyn Kelly tore into WNBA rookie Angel Reese after recent reports suggested that claims of racism involving fellow rookie Caitlin Clark were exaggerated — or possibly fabricated altogether.

The controversy erupted earlier this week when social media buzzed with accusations that Clark was receiving “preferential treatment” by fans and the media due to her race, with some users and influencers hinting that her rising fame had racial undertones. Angel Reese, who has often been positioned as Clark’s on-court rival dating back to their college days, appeared to support those claims in subtle social media posts and during cryptic press conference comments about “double standards.”

However, a new report from a prominent sports journalist debunked the viral narrative, citing internal league data, media coverage patterns, and player sponsorships, showing that Clark’s popularity is driven by performance metrics, historic fan engagement, and record-breaking viewership — not race.

That report sparked a furious response from Megyn Kelly, who called out Reese for allegedly playing the “victim card” and stoking racial tensions without evidence.

“Angel Reese owes Caitlin Clark — and the public — an apology,” Kelly said on her show. “These fake claims of racism are not only irresponsible, they’re divisive and harmful to the very cause of equality she claims to care about.”

Kelly didn’t hold back, accusing Reese of “manufacturing drama” to stay in the spotlight.

“When you reduce someone’s success to the color of their skin, you undermine everything women in sports have fought for,” she continued. “Caitlin Clark has earned her spotlight. She’s brought more eyes to women’s basketball than we’ve ever seen. This isn’t about race — it’s about excellence.”

Social Media Divided

As expected, the internet exploded with reactions. Hashtags like #TeamClark and #AngelReeseExposed began trending, while fans of both players clashed in heated debates.

Some users praised Kelly for “saying what everyone else was afraid to say,” while others accused her of “escalating a complex issue for clicks.”

“Megyn Kelly is right,” one user posted. “Angel Reese turned this into a race war when it was just about basketball.”

Others defended Reese, arguing that her comments reflected a broader truth about disparities in the media’s treatment of Black athletes — even if the specific Clark example doesn’t fit the mold.

“You can disagree with Angel without ignoring the systemic issues in sports coverage,” another fan tweeted. “Let’s not pretend Megyn Kelly is the voice of fairness.”

Caitlin Clark Remains Silent

Caitlin Clark has continued to take the high road, refusing to comment directly on the controversy. Her focus, she told reporters, is on “helping the Fever improve” and “letting her game speak for itself.”

But that hasn’t stopped pundits and fans from weighing in. ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith commented on the controversy, saying:

“People are trying to turn Caitlin Clark into a cultural battleground — and that’s not fair to her or to Angel. Both of these women should be celebrated, not pitted against each other for clicks.”

What’s Next for Reese and the WNBA?

The WNBA has not issued any official comment on the controversy, but league insiders say tensions between certain rookies are rising behind the scenes. Whether this leads to a public reconciliation or further division remains to be seen.

One thing is certain: this debate has moved far beyond the basketball court. And as the WNBA continues to grow in viewership and cultural impact, every word — and every rivalry — will be under the microscope.
