NEW ORLEANS — AI photos are circulating on social media of LSU's star forward Angel Reese and the player shared an upsetting message on her X account Tuesday.
Around 4 a.m. this morning Reese tweeted "Creating fake AI pictures of me is crazy and weird AF!" in a post.
The alleged AI photos surfaced just before March Madness and could be a distraction for Reese in preparing for the first round of the NCAA tournament against the Rice Owls on Friday, March 22.
Reese followed the tweet with, "like i know im fine & seem to have an appeal to some but im literally 21 and yall doing this bs when i would neverrrrrr."
The Bayou Barbie has a plethora of endorsements, including being a swimsuit model for Sports Illustrated.
There are also rumors of "nude photos". However, it's not clear where the AI pictures came from.
Fans commented under Reese's posts with encouraging words like "focus on you and lifting up that trophy", one fan said, and "no matter what the distractions are just stay focused on what you came for", another supportive fan said.
The Tigers are set to play the first round of the NCAA tournament on LSU's home ground at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at 3 p.m.
