Flau'jae Johnson Reveals Why She and Angel Reese Aren't Friends Anymore
For two seasons, Angel Reese and Flau'jae Johnson were close friends and teammates.
The Chicago Sky forward and current LSU star guard helped lead the Tigers to their first-ever national championship back in 2023, but in the two years since, they've seemingly drifted apart.

'I still support Flau'jae; we aren't as close as we used to be,' Reese said on her 'Unapologetically Angel' podcast last year. 'There's no hard feelings or anything. It happens.
'You don't have the best relationships with everybody, and don't always continue relationships with people. So I wish her the best always, I'm always going to support her. There's no love lost but we aren't as close as we used to be.'
Though they no longer speak, Reese made it known there's no bad blood between the two. However, Johnson seemingly painted a different picture.

During a recent appearance on 'The Breakfast Club' podcast, Johnson made it seem like the two actually had a falling out during Reese's final season at LSU.

'We're not friends, but I mean that bond that we had, that thing that we did together, winning a national championship, you can never take that away from us,' Johnson stated. 'And so sometimes stuff happens, you wish it don't happen but it do. And you just got to grow.
'… Yeah, it was a lot of media, it was a lot of locker room stuff. You know what I'm saying? Stuff that go on behind the scenes. But it happens, it happens… Sometimes stuff happens. You wish it don't happen, but it do.'
While it's not known exactly what went down between the two, their mothers did feud publicly back in 2023 over social media.
Reese's mother seemingly fired the first shot, taking a jab at Johnson's mother, who responded by insulting Reese and mocking her alleged 2.0 GPA at the time — something she carried with her and jabbed at after graduating last year.

'No One Said That': Taylor Swift Fans Shred Baseless Travis Kelce Rumor
'No One Said That': Taylor Swift Fans Shred Baseless Travis Kelce Rumor originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There has been a lot of talk about Taylor Swift making a secret cameo in the newly released Netflix film 'Happy Gilmore 2.' As it turns out, however, this was nothing more than a baseless rumor — or at least this is what the Swifties are claiming. Did Taylor Swift Appear in Happy Gilmore 2? Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce was part of the sequel of Sandler's 1996 comedy hit. Kelce made a cameo in the movie, and Swift was very supportive of her boyfriend's latest venture into the world of Hollywood films. In one of its posts promoting the movie, Netflix shared a behind-the-scenes video featuring Kelce and his hilarious scene in the film where he was mauled by a bear. In the comments section of the Instagram post, a user suggested that 'they should've dressed Taylor as a bear for an epic surprise.' Netflix replied to the comment with the eyes emoji, which immediately drew attention to the comment referencing Swift. It was pointed out by Entertainment Tonight, however, that, according to the film's credits, it was a stuntman named Brandon Alan Smith who was the 'Bear Performer' in the movie, thereby disproving the supposed Swift theory. Swifties Are Not Happy Several news and entertainment outlets published stories around the premise that Swift fans were led to believe that the multi-Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, indeed, made a secret cameo in 'Happy Gilmore 2.' The Swifties have now clapped back, claiming that none of them believed that there was any basis to the supposed rumor that Swift joined Kelce in the film. "Oh stop, no one said that," a comment on X read, responding to a New York Post article entitled, "Why Taylor Swift fans think she secretly appeared in 'Happy Gilmore 2' with Travis Kelce." "Taylor Swift fans think? No chance," said another. "I haven't seen a single fan say they think Taylor was in HG2. Like surely there is actual important (and legit) (expletive) going on that y'all could write about," wrote a user. "Are the fans in the room with us," asked a reader. "Nobody thinks that or thought that LOL," declared another. "NY Post making up headlines again," accused a Swiftie. All sorts of rumors have come out involving Swift and Kelce over the past couple of years, and, to be fair, some Swifties have bought into a number of them. This particular "Happy Gilmore 2" theory, however, is clearly too delusional even for the most avid Swift fan out story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 1, 2025, where it first appeared.
