WNBA star Angel Reese has a message for people hating on her for going to the Met Gala.
Earlier this week, Reese became the first WNBA rookie to attend the prestigious Met Gala in New York and stunned observers with her 16Arlington dress.
Reese faced some criticism from fans on social media for attending the Met Gala because she was forced to make a quick turnaround to play in Chicago for a WNBA preseason game.
