What was supposed to be a glamorous night celebrating fashion and fame took an unexpected turn when basketball star Angel Reese was reportedly escorted out of a Victoria’s Secret after-party following an alleged altercation with a veteran model.
According to multiple sources close to the event, tensions rose after Reese allegedly made an offensive remark toward one of the models in attendance. Witnesses say the comment sparked immediate discomfort among guests, prompting security to intervene within minutes.
“Security came over pretty quickly,” one insider revealed. “They spoke with Angel privately, but after a few minutes, she was asked to leave. It didn’t look like a big scene — but everyone knew something had happened.”
The incident reportedly followed several prior warnings from event staff, suggesting that the situation had been escalating throughout the evening. While details about the nature of Reese’s comment remain unclear, multiple attendees described the exchange as “unnecessary” and “out of line” for an exclusive event that was supposed to be about celebration and professionalism.
Reese, known for her fiery competitiveness and unapologetic personality on the court, has often been a lightning rod for attention off the court as well. Her presence at the Victoria’s Secret event drew significant buzz — she’s one of the few active athletes to cross over into the high-fashion spotlight so prominently. But this latest controversy may overshadow her growing reputation as a style icon.
Representatives for Reese have not yet commented on the reports, and Victoria’s Secret has declined to issue an official statement. However, insiders close to the brand hinted that the organization is “reviewing the incident internally” and that further action is not expected at this time.
Fans have been quick to react online, with social media splitting into two camps. Some defended Reese, calling the reports exaggerated and suggesting she’s being unfairly targeted because of her outspoken personality. Others, however, argued that her behavior — if true — was disrespectful and unprofessional, especially at a high-profile industry event.
“She’s young, successful, and confident — that’s part of what makes her stand out,” one fan wrote on X. “But moments like this can hurt her image if she’s not careful.”
Others were less forgiving: “There’s a difference between confidence and arrogance,” another user posted. “You can’t walk into a luxury brand event and act like the rules don’t apply.”
Despite the controversy, Reese remains one of the brightest stars in women’s basketball, known for her dominance on the court and her growing list of sponsorships and fashion collaborations. She’s been featured in numerous magazines, walked red carpets, and recently hinted at expanding her brand beyond sports.
Still, this incident could mark a turning point — a moment where the spotlight turns uncomfortably bright. Whether it fades quickly or lingers depends on how Reese and her team handle the aftermath.
As one industry insider summed up: “Angel Reese has the talent and charisma to go as far as she wants. But in fashion — just like in basketball — composure is everything.”
