The drama between NBA star Klay Thompson and rap icon Megan Thee Stallion has taken a new turn, and WNBA star Angel Reese is making sure everyone knows where she stands.
TMZ Sports confirmed over the weekend that the relationship between the four-time NBA champion and the Grammy-winning artist has ended, with Stallion pulling the plug over what she described as broken trust and disrespect. In a statement to TMZ, she made it clear: "I've made the decision to end my relationship with Klay. Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there's no real path forward."
Stallion didn't hold back, accusing Thompson of cheating and poor treatment during their time together. She wrote on social media, "Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got 'cold feet.'" She added, "Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season now you don't know if you can be 'monogamous'???? I need a REAL break after this one .. bye yall."
Enter Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky forward who is dating Orlando Magic big man Wendell Carter Jr. Reese, who has never been shy about speaking her mind, jumped into the fray with a powerful message of support for Stallion. "It's the way you show up even while carrying so much—that's what makes you THAT girl. You always have a little sister riding for you at dawn. I love you, sister," Reese wrote.
Reese's public backing of Stallion is a clear signal that she's siding with the rapper over Thompson. It's a move that aligns with her reputation as an outspoken advocate for women, both on and off the court. Earlier this year, Reese received a powerful endorsement from former First Lady Michelle Obama, who told Reese's critics, "Don't mess with her spirit."
The breakup and Reese's involvement come at a busy time for the WNBA star. She was recently traded to the Atlanta Dream, a move she embraced with open arms, saying, "I wanted more." Reese has also been a vocal presence on social media, cheering on Carter Jr. after the Magic's Game 1 stunner in the playoffs.
As for Thompson, the Warriors legend is now dealing with fallout beyond the basketball court. The accusations from Stallion have sparked widespread discussion, with many fans and commentators weighing in. Reese's decision to take a side only adds to the conversation, highlighting the intersection of sports and pop culture.
Whether this drama will have any lasting impact on Thompson's legacy or Stallion's career remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Angel Reese is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in, even if it means calling out one of the NBA's most accomplished players.
