Public Statement from the Mother of Angel Rees

I am the mother of Angel Reese. I am making this public statement to clarify some important matters concerning my daughter and her presence—or rather, her lack thereof—on social media. Recently, it has come to my attention that several individuals have created fake accounts impersonating Angel across various social media platforms. These impostors are not only misrepresenting who she is but also misleading her loyal fans, tarnishing her image, and causing her personal distress.I want to make it absolutely clear that *Angel Reese is not currently active on any social media platform.* Any profiles you may come across claiming to represent her are fake. These accounts have no association with her, nor do they represent her views, her personality, or her values. As a family, we are deeply troubled by this ongoing situation, and we are working diligently to report these fraudulent profiles to the appropriate platform administrators in an effort to have them removed.Angel has always been committed to authenticity and integrity, both on and off the court. Her character speaks for itself through her dedication to her sport, her team, and her community. It is deeply disappointing and concerning that some individuals would exploit her name and likeness for attention, financial gain, or other deceptive purposes. These actions are not only harmful but also illegal, and we are exploring every legal avenue to ensure those responsible are held accountable.To the fans and supporters of Angel: we see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you for your continued encouragement. Your support means the world to her and to our entire family. That’s why it is so important to us that you are receiving truthful and accurate information about her. We understand how upsetting and confusing it can be to follow someone you admire, only to find out later that the account was fake. We urge everyone to remain vigilant and to avoid engaging with or sharing content from any social media accounts claiming to be Angel unless they have been officially verified and publicly confirmed by her management or family.If and when Angel does choose to return to social media, we will make an official announcement through trusted media channels and ensure that her real account is verified. Until then, we respectfully ask that everyone disregard any posts, messages, or activities attributed to these fake profiles. We also ask for your help in reporting these impostor accounts to the platforms so they can be taken down swiftly and permanently.Impersonation is not a harmless act—it can have real emotional and reputational consequences for the person being impersonated. For a young woman like Angel, who is still navigating life under the intense spotlight of public attention, it is essential that her voice not be misused or distorted by others. She deserves to control her own narrative, and that right has been infringed upon by these impersonators.Lastly, to the individuals behind these fake accounts: we are aware of your activities, and we are taking steps to address them. We urge you to cease immediately and consider the harm you are causing—not just to Angel, but to her fans and the broader community that supports her.Thank you for taking the time to read this message. We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to protect Angel’s name, privacy, and peace of mind.
