Since Caitlin Clark came to the WNBA after being a superstar in college basketball, she has become the most followed, criticized, praised and important player for the league, and every step she takes becomes news. Even what she doesn’t do is news. Currently, she just had the best game of her career against the Dallas Wings, in which she scored 35 points, with eight assists and two rebounds.
Caitlin has become a prominent figure in women’s basketball, so much so that rapper Ice Cube even offered her a job in his league with a higher paycheck than what she currently earns in the WNBA. As the 22-year-old All-Star has become the face of the league, it’s no surprise that anything related to her garners attention.
Recently, a post on Facebook featuring a picture of Caitlin Clark wearing a leopard print dress drew scrutiny from fans.
The image shows a Caitlin Clark as she has never been seen before, with a slightly younger face, well made up and very sexy, as the cleavage she shows makes her look very different from how she usually is.

But it turns out the image was doctored, with Clark’s face superimposed onto that of actress Jennifer Connelly. One fan called out the fake image, while another seemed to be fooled by it, defending Clark against negative comments.
One fan commented, “This is just Caitlin’s face superimposed on a famous photo of actress Jennifer Connelly.” Another fan stood up for Caitlin, stating, “For all the negative comments about her just means she is not your ty.”
Despite the controversy surrounding the fake image, Caitlin Clark continues to make headlines. Social media detectives have spotted a peculiar quirk that Clark seems to perform throughout games, and everyone seems to be talking about her handling of a baseball bat. Additionally, she had a surprising reaction to Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris, further solidifying her presence in the public eye.
The attention on Caitlin Clark showcases the growing influence of women’s basketball and the players within the WNBA. It’s clear that fans are invested in not only her performance on the court but also her off-court presence and interactions.
