Chicago Sky All-Star and rookie Angel Reese had a strange interaction with a fan during the All-Star Game on Saturday, which led to the fan’s immediate removal from the premises.
The double-double machine and Bayou Barbie played a thrilling ASG in Phoenix, Arizona., alongside longtime rival Caitlin Clark, as the WNBA’s All-Star team went on to beat Team USA women’s basketball, 117-109.
RECAP: WNBA All-Stars Stun US National Team
Saturday’s highly-anticipated game at Footprint Center welcomed a sold-out crowd, which is typical for a Caitlin Clark game. What fans received was one of the best (if not the definite best) WNBA All-Star Game of all time.

Reese drew extra attention when a fan approached her and exchanged a few words before security intervened to forcefully remove the fan and create a scene. The woman became increasingly upset, at one point yelling that she had spent $1,200 to watch Reese in person, only to be escorted away.
To be fair, the fan was in quite a frenzy, so removing her might have been justified. After all, she paid for a game, not a meet-and-greet.
WATCH:
The crazed fan certainly had no issue with monetizing her 15 seconds of infamy. The more we discovered about this WNBA superfan, the more evident it became that her sanity was in doubt.
According to the fan’s Instagram account, the woman is already selling shirts with a screenshot of her brief interaction with Reese, including the caption, “Even at the bottom, we winnin’ … Put it on the Flo Angel.”

The woman went on a separate tirade on her Instagram profile, addressing the scene and claiming she was bent on interacting with Angel Reese after allegedly spending her “kid’s school money” to attend the All-Star Game.
Forget the WNBA Rookie of the Year race … we’ve got Mom of the Year here.
The fan’s incoherent rant read, “I paid 1200 for my seat to think. @angelreese5 was not gonna see my faceee crazzyyy ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ @angelreese5 all my followers please tag @angelreese5 I spend my kids school money Fa them too do me this ANYWAY B******* I’m On Side A STAR @angelreese5 #wnbaallstar @wnba cap I snuckkk innnn nana boo-boo, you h0000z …”
