Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian reacts to Caitlin Clark defending Angel Reese
Serena Williams' husband and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian recently commended Caitlin Clark for defending Angel Reese's gesture.
Angel Reese, the LSU star and the Most Outstanding Player of the 2023 Women's NCAA Tournament, didn't hesitate to taunt her rival Caitlin Clark by mimicking the latter's Elite 8 celebration of WWE star-turned-actor John Cena's "You Can't See Me" wave. Reese then pointed to her ring finger to celebrate the LSU Tigers' impressive 102-85 blowout win over Iowa in the title game.
Clark garnered recognition from Cena for incorporating his signature celebration into Iowa's routine. Reese, however, faced backlash on various online platforms for her actions, with some labeling the LSU star as 'classless' and hurling other derogatory remarks her way.
Clark came forward and defended her colleagues' gestures.
"I don't think Angel should be criticized at all. No matter what way it goes, she should never be criticized for what she did," Clark said.
On Tuesday, April 4, Alexis Ohanian took to social media to praise Clark's outspoken support for Reese.
"@caitlinclark class!" Alexis Ohanian captioned his Instagram story.

Giannis Antetokounmpo currently ranks third in the MVP race, behind Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid.
Ohanian has always been a passionate supporter of the Greek star. He previously lauded Antetokounmpo's winning mindset.
"I'm not as talented as Steph. I'm not as talented as KD. I'm f**king desperate. I'm obsessed. So I f**king work as hard as I can, because I don't want to lose this s**t," Antetokounmpo stated.
Ohanian was deeply moved by Antetokounmpo's words, which he shared on his Instagram story. He implored all of his followers to show their support, regardless of their level of interest in basketball.
"It's a mindset. Y'all need to be following my guy @giannis_an34 even if you don't follow basketball," Ohanian wrote.
