Viewers Shocked at ‘Creepy’ Video of Shaq Describing Angel Reese’s ‘Little Shorts’ as She Attempts to Change the Subject.
In a recent viral video, basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal left viewers shocked after making an awkward and uncomfortable comment about LSU star Angel Reese’s attire during a public interview. In the clip, O’Neal refers to Reese’s “little shorts” in a manner that many viewers found unsettling, especially as Reese visibly tries to change the subject.
The incident occurred during an appearance where O’Neal was discussing the rising star’s athleticism and performance. However, the conversation quickly took a strange turn when O’Neal, appearing to comment on Reese’s outfit, said, “Those little shorts…,” before making an uncomfortably long pause. His tone and choice of words left some viewers cringing, leading many to call the comment “creepy” and inappropriate given the context.
Reese, who is known for her outspoken personality and confidence on and off the court, appeared visibly uncomfortable. As she attempted to shift the conversation to a different topic, her attempt to move past the awkward remark only added to the tension in the clip.
Social media erupted as fans and viewers took to platforms like Twitter to express their disbelief over the exchange. Many criticized Shaq for making what they perceived as an unnecessary and inappropriate comment about Reese’s clothing. “It was so awkward,” one Twitter user wrote. “Why would Shaq comment like that on her shorts? It was creepy.” Another added, “Angel handled that so gracefully, but you could tell she wasn’t having it.”
While O’Neal has yet to address the backlash, the incident has sparked a broader conversation about the line between humor and discomfort, especially when it comes to comments on women’s appearances. For Reese, a rising star in women’s college basketball, the video only adds to the growing spotlight on her career—and the challenges that come with being a female athlete in the public eye.
Reese’s fans are standing by her, applauding her poise in handling the situation. As for Shaquille O’Neal, this uncomfortable moment may prompt a reflection on the way comments are perceived in today’s media landscape, where sensitive issues around respect and professionalism are under heightened scrutiny.
