Angel Reese kicks off her new year by deactivating Instagram.

On New Year’s Eve, the WNBA player posted a video of herself on Instagram that garnered significant attention.

In the video, Reese confidently shows off in a Jaded London open-neck maxi dress, revealing her cleavage and upper torso.

Many of the Chicago Sky player’s fans supported her outfit choice, while others used the moment to troll her. According to The Spun, Reese may have deactivated her account in response to the hate.

On X, formerly Twitter, the 22-year-old reposted SZA’s tweet about living life unapologetically, which many consider a silent jab at her haters.

In response to the deleted post, fans have taken to Twitter to defend her.

“Why are yall mad at Angel Reese for looking good as f**k? Lmao,” one fan tweeted with a meme GIF.

“Angel Reese bothers people because she doesn’t fit the stereotypical tomboy dressed basketball players. She literally isn’t doing anything but having media visibility and being cute dressed like a normal woman her age,” another wrote.
