Overview

• On July 15’s Off the Record podcast, Shaquille O’Neal warned Robert Griffin III that he would “punch [him] in [his] f—ing face” if he reposts the derogatory monkey image of Angel Reese again.
• RGIII’s July 10 post on X included a racist depiction of Reese as a monkey, which he criticized in text but nevertheless amplified to millions of followers.
• Angel Reese denied that anyone in her inner circle told RGIII she “hates” Caitlin Clark, calling his claim a lie and accusing him of seeking clout.
• O’Neal, who has mentored Reese since her LSU days, said he has been urging her to refrain from engaging publicly with RGIII’s provocations.
• As of mid-July, RGIII has not replied to O’Neal’s threat, leaving the high-profile feud unresolved.
