Shaquille “Shaq” O’Neal’s comments about Angel Reese have set social media ablaze. During his appearance on Reese’s Unapologetically Angel podcast, he discussed her attire on a recent episode of Wild N’ Out. The 22-year-old had been spotted rocking a light blue crop top with matching shorts on set. While it’s not clear what led up to the conversation, it seemed that O’Neal was offering Reese some ill-advised marketing tips.

“Imagine you in them same little a** shorts you had on at the Wild N’ Out show dunking. You know how many t-shirts you gone sell? You tripping.” Despite Reese —who was visibly uncomfortable — trying to pivot the conversation, Shaq continued, seemingly salivating over the idea of seeing her parade around in the two-piece set. A clip of their discussion has already gone viral, with many calling out Shaq’s allegedly “creepy” behavior.

“It’s clear that Shaq is sexualizing her,” one person wrote on X

“We keep calling it weird but it’s actually perverted & clear that Shaq is sexualizing her. The saddest part is that you can hear the disdain in Angel’s voice but also her exhaling in frustration in hoping he was trusted figure in her life. Instead was as always, just another man,” one person wrote on X. Another X user, called the former Lakers player an “old washed pervert” who should “go slap his face on some obscure brand and leave the girls alone.”

One person proposed that older men don’t realize how their words or actions can come off. ” My issue with men is that they ‘forget’ how old they are which also aids in them being creeps. This Shaq situation reminds me of when Chris Rock saying Rihanna looked at him like he was her uncle. Like bro you are OLD. hang it up.” Someone else accused O’Neil of being a “creepy clout-chasing” old man.
