""Even before the game, I'm terrified of what the media is about to ask," she told Rooks. "It could be the nicest question, but it's going to get flipped or put into a different light or a different perspective. It's like, are you here intentionally to start mess or are you intentionally here to ask a question?""
""For me, the media is really scary. That's why I have never been on anybody else's podcast," she say. "I'm scared to do stuff like that because I know how things could get flipped.""
""I am very vocal about what we need and what I want," she told The Chicago Tribune last year."
Angel Reese experiences anxiety around media interactions and fears questions will be flipped or misrepresented. Reese sometimes chooses to pay fines rather than attend postgame press conferences to avoid hostile or distorted coverage. Reese avoids non-broadcast interviews and has not appeared on other podcasts due to concerns about being misconstrued. Reese finished her second season with the Chicago Sky and has drawn intense media attention, particularly over an alleged rivalry with Caitlin Clark after a bench applause incident. Reese is outspoken about team needs and has faced public backlash for calling out teammates.
