“I just try to stay strong… I’ve been attacked so many times. Death threats, I’ve been sexualized, I’ve been threatened.
All this has happened since I won the national championship & I haven’t been happy since then.”
Following the startling revelation, Reese proclaimed that she “wouldn’t change anything” and will stay “true to who she is.”
Reese’s actions on-and-off the court draw plenty of scrutiny among those on social media and within the media, and it sounds like it has taken its toll on Reese.
Reese will end her LSU basketball career as one of the all-time greats being named the 2023 NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player when the Tigers won the National Championship and the SEC Player of the Year this season.
The 21-year-old was also a unanimous All-American in 2023.
