Shaq Faces Backlash for His Inappropriate Remarks About Angel Reese

Not the best look for Shaquille O’Neal.

Shaquille O’Neal was the most recent guest on Angel Reese’s Unapologetically Angel podcast, and it led to a pretty awkward moment to witness during their discussion. At one point, Shaq starts to talk about Angel’s shorts that she wore for a Wild ‘N Out event, and suggested that she should dunk in them to sell more T-shirts. The WNBA start was visibly uncomfortable about this sexualization, but Shaq didn’t pick up on her body language and continued his remarks. This resulted in a lot of backlash and controversy on social media, with fans cringing at the exchange and calling out this seemingly creepy behavior.

Of course, maybe this is all just out of context and fans are making a fuss about nothing too serious. Perhaps Angel Reese and Shaquille O’Neal laughed about it afterwards, but from what you can see in the video below, it wasn’t a topic she really wanted to discuss at all. After all, Reese has enough on her plate to deal with on the gossip train without another antic-heavy headline to add to the pile. She recently commented on how her WNBA salary allegedly doesn’t even cover her rent.
