Angel
Reese finds herself in the spotlight once more, but for an unexpected reason.
Days after a tough defeat, she shared an extravagant birthday tribute to her dog, Thiago, igniting a wave of both praise and scrutiny.
Was this a way to sidestep the drama or a defiant move in career turbulence? What's truly happening with Angel Reese? Let's take a closer look.
Angel Reese shows love to her dog Thiago on his birthday
Angel Reese threw a birthday party for her dog, Thiago King Reese, who just turned two. She posted cute photos on Instagram. One showed Thiago with a small cake and an unlit candle.
Another showed him sitting in a fancy Louis Vuitton dog bag, looking happy and stylish.
Angel called Thiago her 'baby boy' and said she loves him a lot. She first got Thiago while dating Cam'Ron Fletcher, a former basketball player. Even though the two broke up in early 2024, Angel kept Thiago and continued to spoil him. This sweet moment showed a softer side of the tough basketball player.
The photos were taken at her home in Chicago and quickly caught fans' attention online.

Angel Reese faces tough game and online criticism after loss
Just two days before Thiago's birthday post, Angel Reese had a rough time on the court. On June 7, the Chicago Sky played against the Indiana Fever at Wintrust Arena. The Sky lost the game badly, with a score of 79-52. Angel only scored four points.
After the game, fans criticized her performance. Some even made fun of her for wearing a stylish outfit but not playing well.
There is also talk about her rivalry with Caitlin Clark from the Indiana Fever. Some fans and media have been making the rivalry bigger than it is. On June 9, WNBA legend Candace Parker told Newsweek that the drama should stop. She said, 'It needs to end for the sake of the WNBA,' pointing out how the constant talk brings bad attention.
This issue also brings up an old incident from May 17, 2024. During a game in Indiana, some fans were accused of saying racist things to Angel Reese. But after an investigation, the WNBA said there was no proof. Still, on May 21, Angel spoke out, saying, 'There's no place in this league for racism.'
Angel Reese is now trying to stay strong through the ups and downs. While she shows love to her dog Thiago, she is also dealing with pressure from fans, critics, and the spotlight.

John Mulaney speaks out against violent messages targeting Olivia Munn and kids amid Ms Rachel controversy
Actor John Mulaney has revealed that his wife Olivia Munn, and their kids are getting 'violent and threatening messages' after she said she doesn't let their kids watch Ms. Rachel's educational videos. Also read: Olivia Munn was insecure about shooting sex scenes with Jon Hamm after multiple cancer surgeries: I have a lot of scars John took to his Instagram Stories on June 11 to address the hate coming their way. He is wondering how people are connecting the remarks to the couple 'not caring about the deaths of children in Gaza'. 'An innocent comment my wife Olivia Munn made about what children's programs we like has somehow - unbelievably been - conflated with not caring about the deaths of children in Gaza,' he wrote. John added, 'Because of this, my wife and my two kids are now receiving violent and threatening comments and messages in her DMs. This is absolutely insane and needs to stop. The people doing this are so wildly out of line and so unhelpful to any conversation'. 'You took a nothing comment to a dark and dangerous place. This kind of behaviour isn't activism,' he wrote while concluding the note. Earlier, Olivia had issued a statement of her own regarding the backlash, writing that she 'never anticipated' her comment would have such a ripple effect. 'My comments were never meant to diminish the joy, comfort and impact she brings to so many families. I don't want something taken out of context to be a moment that steals even a minute of joy for anyone,' she wrote in an Instagram Stories which she posted on June 10. Some days back, Olivia had shared why Ms. Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, doesn't have a presence in her household. She shared her views in an interview with People magazine. Olivia said, 'I know kids love (Ms. Rachel), but the thing is, if I can't watch it, I'm not going to spend the rest of my life going crazy. These kid shows drive me crazy.' And it wasn't just about Ms. Rachel, who is a popular YouTuber famous for making videos that help kids with language development. 'Malcolm asked for Blue's Clues (recently), and I don't know who showed him Blue's Clues, but they are on my s**t list now. I said, 'Hell no. Not in my house'', Olivia said. The publication has since taken the interview down. Rachel also reacted to headlines focused on the remark, writing in a comment shared on Instagram on June 9, 'I'd rather you cover my advocacy for kids in Gaza'. She added that her statement was not directed at Olivia, noting that she doesn't 'care that she doesn't want to watch the show', and sent love to her and her family. John and Olivia were first spotted together in June 2021 and welcomed their son Malcolm Hiệp five months later. In July 2024, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at a friend's house in New York, with Sam Waterston marrying the pair. Two months later, the couple welcomed their second child together, daughter Méi June.
