Recently, Shaquille O’Neal appeared as a guest on Angel Reese’s podcast, “Unapologetically Angel,” where the two former LSU stars discussed WNBA salaries. However, O’Neal’s comments during the podcast sparked controversy and backlash from fans.

During the conversation, O’Neal, who is 52 years old, made a suggestive comment to the 22-year-old Reese that many fans deemed inappropriate and uncomfortable. He remarked, “Imagine you in them same little a** shorts you had on at the ‘Wild ‘N Out’ show dunking. You know how many T-shirts you gon’ sell? You trippin’. Them same little a** shorts you had on at ‘Wild ‘n Out.’ … I’m just saying.”

Fans took to social media to express their disapproval of O’Neal’s comments, with many calling them “creepy” and “violating.” Some fans noted that Reese appeared visibly uncomfortable during the exchange and criticized O’Neal for his behavior, especially considering their mentor-mentee relationship.
