WNBA star Angel Reese accuses ex-NFL QB of ‘lying’ about her ‘inner circle’…
Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III posted on X (formerly Twitter) that individuals in Angel Reese’s “inner circle” told him Reese “hates” fellow WNBA player Caitlin Clark. Griffin claimed he shared this information while also condemning racist imagery directed at Reese.
Angel Reese didn’t name Griffin directly but responded sharply:
> “Lying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work.”
She made it clear no one she trusts made that claim, calling the assertion a clout-driven falsehood.
Reese’s Mom Speaks Out
Angel Reese’s mother also publicly denounced Griffin’s claim:
> “My daughter’s ‘circle’ is so small & tight… Whomever you say ‘called’ you is not in her circle to speak on her feelings… Just stay on that side bc the doors are closed over here.”
Griffin’s Justification
Griffin stated he spoke up to defend Reese from racism, not to provoke drama. He claimed:
He received calls from Reese’s inner circle.
He isn’t looking to be the “villain.”
He urged Reese to “tighten up your circle.”
Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., urged Griffin to directly communicate with Reese instead of airing personal claims publicly.
Former ESPN analyst Ryan Clark criticized Griffin for shifting attention away from the core issue of racism toward personal drama.
Robert Griffin III Someone in Reese’s inner circle said she hates Caitlin Clark; he claims support was his motive.
Angel Reese Denies the claim, calls it lying for clout.
Angel Reese’s mom Confirms no one in their tight inner circle made that statement.
Bernice King Suggests Griffin should speak to Reese privately, not publicly.
Ryan Clark Criticizes Griffin for turning focus away from racism issue.
The heart of this dispute is whether Griffin’s source was genuinely connected to Reese—and whether airing unverified commentary is responsible. Reese and her family deny the claim outright, while Griffin frames it as supporting truth. The debate continues around accountability, privacy, and media narrative.
