Griner Dismisses Lipreading Backlash Regarding Caitlin Clark

  • Brittney Griner, the Atlanta Dream star, denied using the phrase "f***ing white girl" following a controversial foul call late in their close game against the Indiana Fever in May 2025.
  • The controversy began after unverified lipreading claims spread online, with no definitive audio confirming the alleged words, and Griner insisted she would not use such language.
  • Griner stated she was frustrated with officiating, saying, "I was mad about a call," and admonished referees to "be f*ing better" while recalling she could not remember exactly what she said on the bench.
  • The viral clip showing Griner's reaction was viewed by millions, but many interpretations differed, including some believing she said "trash" or "f***ing white girl," and others disputing those lips reads.
  • Griner's denial and emphasis on focusing frustration at officials suggest the incident reflects momentary heat in competition rather than targeted insult, and discussions highlight challenges in interpreting silent footage.
