Fans are accusing Angel Reese of throwing shade at her alleged ex-boyfriend, Jalen Duren, after she shared a clip of her current boyfriend, Wendell Carter Jr., dunking on the Detroit Pistons center.
Reese shared a clip on her Instagram account on Monday, showing Carter Jr. throwing down an alley oop dunk over Duren. Her post was reshared on X, where fans reacted, claiming that she was throwing shade at the Pistons center.
“I promise you I’d never eat again if my ex posted her new man bodying me in the post on national tv,” one fan wrote.
Here are the most noteworthy reactions on X:
“Angel Reese really said ‘look at the upgrade’ without saying a word. Dunking on someone is one thing, but having your girl post it for her millions of followers to see?” a fan said.
“If my ex was throwing little shots like this I’d know she’s still not over me W JD,” another fan said.
“I’m calling my PR team, changing my name, and moving to a remote village with no wifi. National TV means your aunts saw it, your boss saw it, your future kids will see it,” a fan wrote.
“I’d be on a permanent fast too. W for the pettiness though,” another fan wrote.
The Orlando Magic upset the Detroit Pistons in Game 1 of their first-round series, winning 112-101. Carter Jr. finished the game with 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists, shooting 8-for-9.
Reese was rumored to be dating Jalen Duren in 2024 after fans speculated that the two were on vacation together.
