Robert Griffin III sure knows how to start a controversy. But this time, it’s one he might not be able to run from.

Just days after a racist graphic mocking Angel Reese surfaced online, the former ESPN analyst decided to post it. Not to condemn it, but to double down on his take that the Chicago Sky rookie “has grown to hate” Caitlin Clark. That quote alone gave a shock across social media, and it only got worse from there.

Instead of walking it back or taking accountability, Griffin poured more gas on the fire. He claimed people in Reese’s camp backed his statement. “People in Angel’s inner circle called me and told me I was right,” he wrote. Then came the kicker: “Some people made it about race, but I never did and never will.”

Fans Are Done With Griffin’s “Narrative”

Griffin’s decision to repost the racist image and keep hammering the Reese-Clark narrative didn’t sit well with anyone. Fans were quick to call out the hypocrisy in claiming to support Reese while pushing a story that continues to feed racist attacks.

“You’re such a loser, dawg,” one user wrote on X. “You’re claiming that racism is wrong yet in the same tweet you’re fueling a part of what is causing the racist attacks coming at Angel.”

Another chimed in, “Your obsession with creating this narrative is quite sick at this point.”

A WNBA fan added, “So many racists come out on this app. It’s so depressing.”

Someone else pointed out on Griffin, “RG3 bout to get fired again.”

The backlash hasn’t let up. With Griffin slated to join FOX Sports this fall after his ESPN exit earlier this year, fans are now pushing back hard. Many are calling on FOX to reconsider his spot on the roster.

Whether FOX responds or not remains to be seen. But Griffin’s attempt to play both sides has left him with very few still in his corner. And sports fans? They’re furious than ever.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
