Angel Reese blasts Caitlin Clark in expletive ridden tirade: ‘You’re crazy as f**k’
Tensions flared once again between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark during a heated WNBA matchup between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever. The confrontation escalated after Reese had to be held back following a hard fall to the floor, prompting speculation about what she yelled in the heat of the moment. Now, a professional lip-reader has shed light on her outburst.
The altercation took place late in the third quarter, when the 23-year-old Reese was knocked down during a physical battle under the basket. Clark, who was involved in the play, later called it a strategic foul after an offensive rebound.
Visibly frustrated, Reese quickly jumped up and charged toward Clark, who was walking away. Teammates from both sides stepped in to prevent the situation from spiraling further and to ensure neither star was ejected.
Reese, often dubbed “Chi Barbie” for her bold personality and expressive demeanor, made no effort to hide her emotions. According to lip-reader NJ Hickling, she shouted at Clark: “You f***ing grab! Grabbing like that,” as reported by DailyMail.com.
Reese then allegedly yelled, “You’re crazy as f**k,” pointing at Clark as she was escorted back to her bench to cool off and refocus.
Clark, however, downplayed the drama following the game, saying: “Let’s not make it something that it’s not. It was just a good basketball play.”
This clash is the latest chapter in a growing rivalry between the two players, which began during the 2022–23 NCAA National Championship Game. Reese made headlines by pointing to her ring finger and mimicking Clark’s hand-wave celebration after LSU defeated Iowa 102–85 to claim the title.
The rivalry reignited in early 2024, when Clark and Iowa got revenge in a rematch that drew over 12 million viewers. Now competing in the WNBA, the pair have faced each other four times, with Clark’s Fever taking three victories in games marked by physical play and frequent fouls.
Their most recent meeting came on May 17, with Indiana dominating 93–48. Clark posted an impressive triple-double—20 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds—while Reese finished with 12 points and 17 rebounds.
