    Angel Reese has added another dynamic to the highly debated talk around her and Fever star Caitlin Clark.

    On her podcast's debut, Reese was asked about her relationship with Clark, as the two players and their relationship have dominated WNBA headlines since being drafted.

    The duo's relationship and head-to-head matchups have developed since their time in college when Reese was at LSU and Clark was at Iowa.

    Here's what Reese had to say on her podcast about her relationship with Clark and interactions with her fanbase.

    What did Angel Reese say about Caitlin Clark's fans?

    In the first episode of her new podcast, "Unapologetically Angel," Reese was asked about how she feels regarding her relationship with Clark and how the media treats it.

    Reese said she thinks Clark "is an amazing player," but it's her fanbase — between her time at Iowa and now with the Fever — that can be "disrespectful."

    "I think there's a lot of racism when it comes to it, and I don't believe (Clark) stands on any of that. But when it comes to death threats, like, I'm talking people have come down to my address, follow me home, it's come down to that," Reese said. "(On) multiple occasions, people have made AI pictures of me, like, naked, literally. They have sent it to my family members."

    Reese did not offer specific examples of the harassment or threats on the podcast, nor did she describe how she knew it was Clark's fanbase behind them.

    She followed the comments up by clarifying that there is "no hate" between her and Clark, and she knows Clark has nothing to do with the disrespect she gets from fans.
