Reese posted four pictures of herself on Instagram on Saturday. She was seen wearing a crown in two of those pictures. Her image as an NCAA star solidified when the LSU won the 2022-2023 championship title. From then on even media outlets started calling her Bayou Barbie. 

Reese posted these pictures with the caption: “Everybody hating wish they could swap lives with me & that’s why I don’t take yall serious🤭 .” The internet seemed to be divided in their reaction to Reese’s post. While some came forward to support her, others gave her a check over her attitude.

Nobody hating!” One fan supported Reese pointing out, “Never address haters they don’t deserve the energy, ” whereas another tried to make Reese question her caption by stating: “Plus your kind of talent is a dozen in the WNBA. ”

Another fan echoed the same sentiments towards Reese enumerating, “Why all your posts about someone hating or wants to be you??? The stage was set for you to be the next one ☝🏾. You’re fumbling kid! Just be!!!! 🤦🏾‍♂️. ”
