LSU head coach Kim Mulkey is confronting mead outlets head-on.

Last week, Mulkey blasted the Washington Post for writing a profile on her that ended up being a bit of a dud.

Ahead of Saturday’s Sweet 16 matchup between LSU and UCLA, the LA Times’ Ben Bolch painted LSU players as the villains vs “America’s Sweethearts” in UCLA.

This isn’t just a basketball game, it’s a reckoning. Picking sides goes well beyond school allegiance.

Do you prefer America’s sweethearts or its dirty debutantes? Milk and cookies or Louisiana hot sauce?

The coach who embraces reporters or the one who attacks them?

The tender star player or the one who taunts?

After LSU defeated UCLA to head to the Elite 8, Mulkey took aim at the LA Times writer and ripped him to shreds for being misogynistic.

“You can criticize coaches all you want, that’s our business,..we excpect that it comes with the territory, but the one thing I’m not going to let you do, I’m not going to let you attack young people and there’s some things in this commentary that you should be offended by as women.

“It was so sexist and they don’t even know it. It was good vs evil in that game today. Evil? He called used dirty debutantes, take your phone out and google dirty debutantes and tell me what it says? Dirty debutantes are you kidding me? I’m not going to let you 18-21 year old kids in the tone.”

“I’m not going to let sexism continue. … How dare people attack kids like that.”
