Angel Reese Using Travis Kelce's Ex Girlfriend (And Embarrassing Her) For Podcast Views Is A New Low For Her Desperate Ass

First off, let me say - all it took to pull me out of the funk I've been in for 3+ weeks was some good old fashioned shit talking. I should've known all along. Thankfully when I pray to the gods for mercy, they send me something like this on a silver platter. Controversial, self proclaimed "villain" WNBA star Angel Reese, who apparently has a podcast, poking and prodding on her latest guest who happens to be Travis Kelce's ex girlfriend Kayla Nicole, during the WNBA finals. Lord forgive me for the girl on girl crime I'm about to commit, and thank you for the inspiration!

Now, I do have some (gasp!) sympathy for Kayla Nicole. Nothing is worse than losing a breakup, and this girl lost in the WORST way. I don't know her at all, or what she does online, but any clip that resurfaces of her and Travis - I think it's clear why they aren't still together. To me it seems like she low key hated him. Still, it sucks to see your ex doing FUCKING AMAZING no matter who you are. You're always going to want to roll your eyes at their new girlfriend and their new relationship, and his happens to be with the most famous pop star in the world. That being said - why the fuck would you agree to answer questions about him, your previous relationship, or anything concerning his new one, on ANY public forum? I could see thinking it would make things seem like they're amicable, and I do believe she answered the above question about their "communication" in the best way she could (albeit sounding a bit shady, but whatever.) Still. You've got to know that talking about him, or your relationship in ANY way on this kind of platform, is going to make you sound weird and bitter. They broke up nearly 3 years ago. It's totally fine to say something polite, and then move on. Maybe even ask ahead of time not to be questioned about it! Again, I don't know and couldn't be bothered with what Kayla is actually doing as a career or why she would be interviewed on a podcast, but I know for a fact it isn't to talk about her ex boyfriend and his new girlfriend. Which leads me to the conclusion....

Angel Reese is a fucking asshole. 

I know everyone and their mother has had an opinion on Angel Reese throughout her college career as a basketball player, and even moreso in her rookie year with the Chicago Sky. As a complete outsider, I've heard that she's a cocky, obnoxious, self important, bullying, bitter new piece of the WNBA and while her talent shouldn't be questioned, her attitude completely takes away from it. She seems to try and embrace this villain role in all the wrong ways - the people love PLAYFUL villains, girl! Not straight up bitches! And today, for the first time, we've all discovered she has a podcast. "Unapologetically Angel."

Not a bad idea! An inside look at the WNBA, a chance to showcase that you aren't ACTUALLY the villain you seem to be….oh, wait, sorry. That's not at all what her show is. Instead, it's a platform for Angel to "subtly" throw shade (moreso openly talk shit) about anything and anyone she doesn't like, while blaming everyone else in the world for not having the right amount of respect she thinks she deserves. Her opening episode of course, existing only to talk shit about Caitlin Clark.

With this lineup in the first five episodes, having Kayla Nicole as her sixth guest is very clearly a set up to get Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift clout. Why Angel thinks it's appropriate to do this on her basketball/lifestyle podcast? I'm not sure. I'm also not going to say Kayla is completely innocent in this, as she seemed more than happy to answer all of these questions, but again - why the fuck is Angel even asking them? Why is she saying shit like "I liked you guys together"? Why is she using the "i'm rolling my eyes at your ex boyfriend's new girlfriend" tone when talking about it all? What the fuck is it to you, Angel? Is it because Caitlin Clark likes Taylor Swift? Now all of a sudden you have to have her boyfriend's ex girlfriend on to throw shade and cause problems? What kind of friend are you to Kayla for using her like this? Gross, embarrassing, desperate shit. And RIGHT in the middle of the WNBA finals! When girls (and men!) everywhere are watching more than ever - is this you "doing things for the WNBA"? Huh, weird. Doesn't look like it to me. 

All in all, what an embarrassing display for them both. Kayla Nicole needs to either fire her publicist (or get one?), and Angel needs to come to terms with whatever the fuck she wants to be. A well respected, hard working, strong woman in sports and media? Or a petty, obnoxious, clout chasing, petulant child? 

Having convos like this, isn't it, girl.
