UConn Huskies star Paige Bueckers and former Iowa Hawkeyes star Caitlin Clark have been trending topics on social media for the past few days due to alleged leaked explicit content featuring them.
Though the authenticity of these materials could not be verified, fans rallied to their support by flooding search results for Bueckers and Clark with their basketball highlights, along with Bueckers' empowering ESPY speech celebrating black women, to prevent the explicit content from surfacing.
Bueckers finally addressed the issue in a post on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday, April 23.
"The devil works hard but God and the people around me work WAY harder. The outpouring of love and support from the WBB community is unreal. Love yall. Support women in sport ALWAYS," the 22-year-old said.
Other reports claim that the explicit content featuring Bueckers and Clark is AI-generated, while Bueckers did not directly acknowledge the topic in her post.

While the context of Reese's post remains unclear, it's widely interpreted as her defense of Clark and Bueckers.
