Conservative media personality Megyn Kelly has entered the WNBA spotlight — and she’s not holding back. In a fiery monologue on her podcast, Kelly blasted Angel Reese following what she called a “bogus” investigation into the physical play surrounding Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.

“This isn’t basketball — this is targeted harassment dressed up as ‘competitiveness,’ and it’s disgusting,” Kelly said. “And Angel Reese should be ashamed of herself.”

The Background: Clark Targeted?

The controversy began after a physical and emotionally charged game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky, where Angel Reese was involved in multiple hard fouls and intense on-court exchanges with Caitlin Clark.

A particularly aggressive hit — followed by taunts and sideline celebration from Reese — drew national attention, fueling debates about whether the young star is being unfairly targeted by opponents because of her popularity and media presence.

The WNBA reportedly launched a brief internal review of the incident — not an official investigation, but enough to grab headlines.

Megyn Kelly: “This Is Jealousy, Pure and Simple”

On her show The Megyn Kelly Show, the host didn’t hold back:

“Caitlin Clark is bringing record-breaking attention to the WNBA. She’s elevating the entire league. And what does she get in return? She gets bullied on the court by players who can’t match her talent — and cheered on by people pretending it’s ‘just part of the game.’ It’s garbage.”

Kelly accused Angel Reese and others of being more focused on trying to embarrass Clark than actually winning games.

“What message are you sending to young girls watching? That the only way to stop excellence is to elbow it? Please.”

Social Media Reacts

Kelly’s comments immediately stirred up debate across social media:

Clark supporters applauded her defense of the rising star, using hashtags like #ProtectCaitlinClark and #WNBAStandUp.

Others argued that Kelly, who has no background in basketball, is politicizing a sports rivalry that doesn’t need outside commentary.

Some even accused her of fanning racial tension, noting the racial dynamic between Clark and her biggest on-court critics.

Still, many neutral fans echoed Kelly’s sentiment: Physical play is part of the WNBA, but there’s a line — and it may have been crossed.

Angel Reese Responds Subtly

Reese didn’t directly address Megyn Kelly, but she posted a cryptic tweet shortly after the podcast went viral:

“I know who I am. Y’all don’t have to like it.”

She has maintained that her passion and energy are often misunderstood and misrepresented, particularly by media outlets outside the basketball world.

Final Thoughts

Whether you agree with Megyn Kelly or not, one thing is clear:
The Caitlin Clark vs. WNBA narrative has reached mainstream political media — and it’s only growing louder.

While players like Angel Reese continue to lean into their tough, unapologetic style, critics like Kelly are demanding more respect for the game’s rising superstar.

In the middle of it all is Caitlin Clark, trying to lead her team and grow the sport — all while navigating a media storm that shows no signs of slowing down.
