WNBA rookie Kamilla Cardoso went off on a friend Monday night after she compared her to a fictional movie ogre.
The Chicago Sky center went live on TikTok with South Carolina basketball commit Adhel Tac, and tried on a bright red wig – which she thought gave her a certain type of look.
‘Ooh I look like that princess, what’s her name?,’ she said.
Tac then replied, ‘Fiona?’, referring to Shrek’s green-skinned wife.
Cardoso did not appreciate that response from her fellow Gamecock, calling Tac a ‘f*****g h**’ and giving her the middle finger.
Tac covered her mouth with embarrassment after her blunder was captured on TikTok
Tac then realized that Cardoso meant Merida – another red-haired princess – and covered her mouth in embarrassment.
She took to X to apologize after, saying ‘To Kamilla, I did not mean to call you Fiona on national television and I am very very terribly sorry. You look like a Beautiful Brazilian queen.’
Cardoso (perhaps jokingly) then replied, ‘I do not accept your apology, have a great life.’
‘Oh girl boo back to your swamp you go,’ Tac then cracked.
She added in another tweet – appearing to confirm that she had a prior friendship with Cardoso, ‘For the people in the back FRIENDS can joke.’
Cardoso and Chicago Sky teammate Angel Reese have formed a formidable partnership
While Tac has yet to suit up for South Carolina, she signed for the school last year and its certainly plausible that she and Cardoso met during a visit.
After a stellar college career featuring two championships under Dawn Staley, Cardoso has made a productive start to WNBA life.
She’s averaging 8.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per night for the Sky, while fellow center and teammate Angel Reese has had a record-breaking start as well.
