Overview

  • During his July 15 appearance on the Off The Record podcast, O’Neal warned RGIII to stop dragging Reese’s name or risk physical retaliation.
  • RGIII reposted a monkey meme of Reese on July 10 and claimed her video led to threats against his wife, children and friends.
  • Critics said his repost gave wider exposure to the racist imagery despite his call to condemn it.

  • Griffin has not publicly responded to O’Neal’s threat, leaving the social media standoff unresolved.
