Angel Reese has never been one to stay silent when she feels disrespected — and this time, she’s calling out what she sees as an unfair and offensive comparison. A viral photo making rounds online has placed the LSU star and WNBA player side-by-side with influencer and model Sid, with captions comparing their appearances and runway styles from a recent Victoria’s Secret-themed event.

The post quickly gained traction, racking up thousands of comments and shares. But while some viewers called the comparison “lighthearted,” Reese didn’t see it that way. In a series of candid social media posts, she expressed frustration, calling the meme “disrespectful” and “another example of how women in sports get judged on everything except what they actually do.”

According to those close to her, Reese was particularly bothered by the way the photo was framed — focusing less on her athletic presence and more on superficial standards of beauty. “Angel worked hard to balance her athletic career with modeling opportunities,” one source shared. “To have people mock her for that or pit her against someone else over looks completely misses the point.”

The side-by-side image, originally shared on a popular sports gossip account, juxtaposed Sid’s runway walk with a photo of Reese from a recent fashion appearance. Comments flooded in comparing their poses, physiques, and even facial expressions — fueling a heated online debate.

Reese, known for her confidence and strong presence both on and off the court, reminded followers that such comparisons can be damaging. “Y’all compare women like it’s a sport,” she wrote. “Let us both shine in our own lanes.”

Fans quickly rallied behind her, praising her for standing up against online shaming and unrealistic beauty standards. “People forget she’s an athlete first,” one user wrote. “Angel’s doing something powerful by breaking into fashion — she doesn’t need to fit anyone’s mold.”

Sid, for her part, has not publicly commented on the viral post, though some fans urged her to speak out in solidarity. Meanwhile, Reese’s response continues to gain support across social platforms, highlighting a broader issue faced by women in public life: the constant pressure to fit into narrow expectations of femininity and appearance.

Whether on the court, the runway, or online, Angel Reese continues to command attention — not just for her talent, but for her voice. And in this latest controversy, she’s once again proving that she won’t let anyone define her worth.
