“I’ve experienced it. It was hard for me in the beginning,” Reese told ESPN of the harassment.
“After I won the national championship, my whole life changed,” she told ESPN’s Elle Duncan, “and that was the first time I had seen negativity like that on social media. I thought I had a huge following before, but it skyrocketed to millions. It was bigger than basketball when they were finding my address, my car. I had to change my whole lifestyle.”
“It doesn’t bother me as much anymore just because I feel like I’ve built a thicker skin, but not everybody has a thick skin. And that’s why I think players always come up to me and ask me, ‘Are you OK? How are you doing?’ I don’t really know what’s genuine, but I’m starting to open up and branch a little bit,” she insisted.
Reese is appearing in her second WNBA All-Star Game, and is averaging 14 points and 12.6 rebounds this season.
