Angel Reese Is Selling 'Mebound' Merch After Being Trolled Online; Proceeds Will Help Combat Cyberbullying

It looks like Angel Reese is getting the last laugh.

After enduring harassment from online trolls for months, Angel Reese recently announced her brilliant new business plan and revealed that part of the proceeds will be dedicated to a meaningful and important cause.

On June 19, 2025, Reese shared an exciting post about her new merch line on her social media platforms.

"MEBOUNDS, REESEBOUNDS, REBOUNDS... MERCH AVAILABLE NOW," she wrote, adding that part of the proceeds will go to the Angel C. Reese Foundation to help fight against cyberbullying.

"#Hatingpaystoo," she finished.

Reese's new merch line includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, and baseball caps. The items are all branded with the word "mebounds," and some pieces feature a quote she shared last week that went viral.

Reese revealed her plan to trademark the term "mebounds" in early June 2025 during a TikTok video.

"Whoever came up with the 'mebounds' thing, y'all ate that up," Reese said in the viral clip. "Because mebounds, crebounds, keybounds, tebounds... anything that comes off the board, it's mine."

She continued, "And a brand ... that's six figures right there."

"Whoever came up with that, the trolling, I love when y'all do it, because the ideas be good," she said, adding, "when y'all came up with mebounds — cause, statistically, all the rebounds I get aren't always just mine. They're the defenses, too, or somebody else's on my team — but when y'all came up with mebounds, y'all [ate]."

She finished the video saying she and her agent were "gonna work with that."

The Chicago Sky's new merch line dropped only days after tensions began to flare among the WNBA fandom after a heated game between the Connecticut Sun and Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever.

After Clark was seen getting chippy with the Sun's Jacy Sheldon throughout the first half of the game, things escalated in the third quarter when Sheldon poked Clark in the eye, leading to another intense shoving match.

Late in the fourth quarter, Sheldon was involved in even more drama when the Fever's Sophie Cunningham committed a hard foul on the former Ohio State player, dragging her to the ground.

Following the subsequent ejections of both Sheldon and Cunningham, Clark fans flooded Sheldon's Instagram page with vicious comments.

One user wrote, "Girls been jealous of Clark for 6 years," while another chimed in to call the Columbus, Ohio, native a "thug."

"You deserved what you got," that same user added.

A third commenter posted, "Congratulations — nobody knew who you [were] an hour ago, and now everybody hates you."

"[You're] unprofessional, bitter, jealous, [and] don't deserve to be in any professional league," a fourth Clark defender wrote. "Get some help. Seems like [you] need it. [You're] always angry and physically hurting players on the court. Learn some basic basketball skills."

Although Clark hasn't publicly addressed her fans' most recent behavior, the WNBA star has previously shared her thoughts about league players being inundated with negative comments.

After the WNBA announced in May 2025 that it was investigating alleged racist comments made by some Fever fans toward Reese during their first matchup of the season, Clark condemned the alleged language and said she stood by the WNBA's decision to investigate.

"There's no place for that in our game, there's no place for that in society," she said. "Certainly, we want every person who comes into our arena — whether player or fan — to have a great experience. I appreciate the league doing that [investigation]. I appreciate that the Fever organization has been at the forefront of that."

The WNBA, meanwhile, announced ahead of the season the launch of its new campaign, "No Space For Hate," designed to protect its players from harassment online and in arenas.

"As the WNBA continues to grow in popularity and influence, we're proud to launch 'No Space for Hate, ' a league-wide initiative to better protect players, preserve the spirit of the game, and affirm the values of our league. We believe that basketball can be a unifying force, a place where people from all walks of life come together not just to watch a game, but to connect," WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a statement.

She continued, "We want our arenas and our social platforms filled with energy and fandom, not hate and vitriol. That means turning our values into action: strengthening digital and physical security, expanding access to mental health resources, and unifying our message across the league. It's our responsibility to protect what makes this sport so special and ensure we continue to inspire the next generation of women's basketball fans."
