Angel Reese swiftly rose to fame after her draft in the WNBA, subsequent to her illustrious wins as a college student. At the age of 22, she is one of the most famous names in the league. However, her prominence isn’t of much use to her considering she would trade it for money any day. In a recent episode of her podcast, she shed light on the downsides of maintaining a lifestyle of glory.

Only a year after being in constant media attention, Angel Reese realized the limitations of her career. A couple of days ago, the Chicago Sky star uploaded another installment of Unapologetically Angel in conversation with London Lady. Speaking of life in Miami, she implied it is far from “normal” much to her dismay.

Reese desired to live a “regular life” with friends and family with the opportunity to be able to go out without thinking of the consequences. Reese shared how she did not go out in the city because of the lack of ordinary, prompting her to go straight home.

I do not go out in Miami. I don’t go out, because I like to just go to work and go home because I don’t feel like I can live a normal life no more.

Angel Reese doubled down on her ‘money over fame’ mentality, expressing her inclinations towards a ‘lowkey’ life. Notably, this is not the first time the Unrivaled Defensive Player of the Year has shared her opinion on the internet.

Previously on her podcast, she quipped that people wished to be famous without knowing its constraints. She lamented not being able to “walk down the street casually” and having to take pictures every time she went out.

The WNBA star has signed opulent endorsements, including Beats, Reebok, McDonald’s, Reese’s Puffs, and so on and so forth. The Unrivaled star has marketed herself to be a brand. However, the constant critical attention has also sent her into a pickle several times, such as her exaggerated rivalry with Caitlin Clark. The social media has pitied the two against each other, brewing hate.

Angel Reese on being the outcast in the public eye

One of the most striking features of Angel Reese just might be her height. At 6’3, the WNBA star is more often than not distinguished in the room. Matching it with her bold persona, the 22-year-old is quick to grab attention. However, it isn’t always what she needs, as Reese shared in one of her conversations with CoCo Jones.

In one of her episodes of Unapologetically Angel, the WNBA star makes a wholesome admission of the challenges of her celebrity status. Speaking of fame and standing out from the crowd, the Rose BC ally quipped about not feeling ‘normal.’

Going out and having people constantly look for who is the tall person, she has no room to hide. While she wasn’t reluctant to take pictures, she did wish to dress comfy casually in a sweatsuit and don a hood. Unfortunately for the celebrity, the lousy dressing was not in the cards for her considering the crowded cameras.

As Angel Reese navigated the complexities of money and fame, she strived to live a simple life. Apart from that, she always reflected on people’s responsibility to understand. Her career decisions have also prompted hateful reactions on social media. The consistent trolling might also be the reason why Reese did not favor a life in the limelight.
