Flau'jae Johnson Reveals She's No Longer Friends With Angel Reese, Social Media Has Theories Why
Angel Reese can't seem to catch a break. She's admittedly gotten off to a rough start this season, averaging 10 points, and was recently criticized by boxer Claressa Shields over winning the Sportswoman of the Year BET Award. And now, former friend and teammate Flau'jae Johnson has revealed that the two aren't as close as they once were, a few years ago when they led LSU to an NCAA championship over the Caitlin Clark-led Iowa Hawkeyes in 2023. Johnson spoke about the relationship breakdown during a recent interview with The Breakfast Club . ' We're not friends,' Johnson said. 'But I mean, like, that bond that we had, and that thing we did together, win the national championship, you can never take that away from us.' Johnson wouldn't go too much into details, but admits something did happen behind closed doors. 'It was a lot of media, it was a lot of locker room stuff, you know what I'm saying?' Johnson continued. 'You know, sometimes, like, stuff happens, you wish it don't happen but it do and you just gotta grow.' Despite them no longer being friends, there doesn't seem to be a beef, as Johnson still supports her against social media haters, saying she's 'killing it in the WNBA.' She continued, saying, 'I support her in everything she do. I be on social media clowning the folks that be trying to talk down on her. I'm just proud of her, but like, you know, stuff happens.' Fans sniffed out a potential issue between the two LSU stars in 2023 when their mothers engaged in a social media feud. At the time, Angel's mother, Angel Webb Reese, critiqued Johnson's grammar. Johnson's mother, Kia Brooks, fired back in the Instagram comments, writing, 'You definitely know about grammar errors when your daughter got a 2.0-or-less grade point average. Stop being petty, fake, and hateful, and take responsibility for you and your daughter's actions.' At the time, Angel Reese nixed the rumors by tweeting, 'Please don't believe everything you read,' so there's no telling if that is the reason for their falling out. See how social media is reacting to the former teammates becoming distant below.

2026 5-star DL has canceled his LSU OV after visiting Texas A&M
2026 5-star DL has canceled his LSU OV after visiting Texas A&M One of Texas A&M's priority prospects in the 2026 recruiting class took an official visit to College Station this weekend, as five-star defensive lineman Lamar Brown, who was a frequent visitor during the spring period, is inching closer to his commitment date on Thursday, July 10. After was had been deemed as a highly successful visit this weekend, Brown took to social media to deliver a revealing message that could be good news for the Aggies. "Think this one close the book...." While coach Mike Elko and his staff have a ways to go to land the highly coveted lineman, things got even more interesting on Sunday night after Brown reportedly canceled his upcoming official visit to LSU on June 20, as the Louisiana native is now likely considering Texas A&M and, possibly Miami or Texas going forward, with the Aggies in the lead. Again, nothing is set in stone, but knowing that Brown does not have an official visit set up before his July 10 commitment looks like great news for Elko and his staff, would win one of the most significant recruiting battles during my time covering the program. Regarding the future of Texas A&M's defensive line, which includes 2025 signee Marco Jones, Landon Rink, DJ Sanders, and Chace Sims, adding another elite prospect with NFL potential as soon as he steps on campus is certainly a sign that the Aggies' will dominate in the trenches for the next three seasons.
