Athletes in women’s sports have it tough enough already getting the public to acknowledge their talent and credibility, but it’s becoming even more difficult in the current times.

Caitlin Clark and her college basketball compatriots are trying to shift the narrative. Paige Bueckers is part of that group, but she fell victim to explicit photos of her that were leaked online ecently. They turned out to be created using AI, causing a storm of concern for women everywhere.

When the photos came out, Angel Reese posted a message of support for Bueckers and all women athletes.

Reese herself has been a victim of explicit AI photos making the rounds. She had to deal with the exact same thing last month. She wrote on social media at the time that “creating fake AI pictures of me is crazy and weird AF!“

Now that a couple of days have passed since the Bueckers photos came out, the UConn Huskies star has come out with a strong message about the situation and a nod to her fellow athletes for supporting her.

It’s clear Bueckers hasn’t let the situation affect her too much. It’s that type of ice cold mentality that has made her one of the best women’s basketball players on the planet.
