Natalie Esquire is the latest figure to condemn Charleston White for his remarks surrounding Angel Reese. White's controversial comments on former NBA player Jeff Teague's "Club 520 Podcast" left basketball fans around the globe stunned after he stated that the WNBA star should "do OnlyF**s" and "dunk in some panties."
Many high-profile analysts have criticized the remarks and come out in defense of the league and Reese. Esquire is a well-known figure in the media world and has worked with some of the nation's top media outlets including NBC Sports. The reporter lambasted Teague and White for their recent statements regarding women's basketball and the WNBA.
"Jeff Teague is a whole clown for this. I hope no player in the W goes on his pod or works with him. League better not even entertain his a*s," posted Esquire on her X account.
Esquire was not the only media personality to call out Jeff Teague's podcast. NBA and WNBA writer Nekias Duncan was shocked when he heard the comments and asked for the "Club 520 Podcast" team to respect WNBA players.
"I'm just seeing … the stuff. And dude. Just don’t talk about the W if you can’t even pretend to respect the people involved," said Duncan.
Arielle Chambers, who is an expert on women's sports, also posted a message of X.
"I wonder what possesses men to get on their respective podcasts and talk so derogatorily about women/women athletes. The audacity is so alarming. Like you good bruh?! Cuz what?!?!," wrote Chambers.
Chambers' post led to a response from respected sportscaster Chris Williamson:
"Jealousy and whole lot of insecurity !!"

She has her own podcast titled "Unapologetically Angel" and is regularly spotted at some of the biggest fashion, entertainment and and sporting events in the country.

The comments made on Jeff Teague's podcast follow similar comments from former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal. Earlier this year, Shaq was a guest on Angel Reese's " Unapologetically Angel" podcast and the two discussed how the WNBA could grow and increase ratings. O'Neal's controversial views seemed to surprise Reese.
"Imagine you in those same little shorts you had on at the Wild 'n Out show dunking. You know how many t-shirt you're going to sell," said O'Neal.
O'Neal's statement raised plenty of eyebrows and the former Los Angeles Lakers center was criticized for his views on the women's game.
