The television star snubbed the WNBA and Chicago Sky prospect in a SKIMS ad
Kim Kardashian has carefully manufactured herself to become not just one of the most well-known names in showbiz and celebrity culture, but also to become a highly-successful businesswoman although she’s attracting criticism for snubbing Angel Reese in her latest Skims advert.
Fans have called out the 43-year-old model and personality for overlooking Reese, who does not feature in the commercial despite being one of the most eagerly anticipated prospects in the WNBA, around which the commercial is focused.
SKIMS, which aims to produce underwear to fit all skin types and sizes, has now partnered with the top level of women’s basketball as its popularity explodes thanks to players such as Caitlin Clark but also rises in feminism and quality on show.
Five WNBA players feature: Kelsey Plum, Cameron Brink, Candance Parker, Skylar Diggins-Smith and DiJonai Carrington, as they flex their talent whilst wearing SKIMS to show how well the undergarment fits.
But whilst it actually doesn’t include Clark either, the biggest name in the sport right now, fans are furious at the absence of the Chicago Sky‘s Reese above all-else.
One user posted to X.com, formerly Twitter, “Angel Reese was prolly taxing Kim K.”
A second added, @WHY ANGEL REESE AINT GET THE SKIMS SPONSOR.”
A third said, “Skims not including Angel Reese or Camila Cardoso in the WNBA campaign is CRAZY.”
“A fourth wrote, “*Whispers* did Angel Reese not get the call?”
And a fifth said, “Angel Reese was signed to “Good American” who had the same owner as SKIMS. So they are investing heavily right now in wnba.”
Reese stars for Good American
The exclusion is a bit strange as Reese had just appeared in the Good American Denim collection, showing that she’s a more than eligible candidate to appear in commercials and she can pull it off well as the jeans suited the basketballer perfectly.
Reese will represent the “tall” women’s line, aimed at women standing taller than 5ft 10in as by being a professional basketballer, the NCAA national champion stands at 6ft 3in.
