Charleston White’s shocking call for Angel Reese to ‘dunk in lingerie’ sparks outrage

The controversial influencer’s offensive comments about the WNBA star have ignited a firestorm online.

Charleston White, a polarizing online personality known for his inflammatory statements, has stirred up controversy once again. This time, his target is WNBA star Angel Reese, and his comments have drawn sharp criticism for their offensive and reductive nature.

Appearing on Jeff Teague’s Club 520 Podcast, White doubled down on previous remarks about the WNBA and Reese, referencing a controversial comment made by NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. In October, O’Neal suggested on Reese’s podcast that she dunk while wearing short shorts as a marketing tactic, a statement that received backlash for being objectifying. White took it further, making explicit remarks about Reese and the league.

White’s remarks, however, highlight the persistent challenges female athletes face in combating stereotypes and sexism, reminding the sports world of the need for respect and equity. As the WNBA continues to grow, voices like White’s are a stark reminder of the work still left to do
