The internet loves a good comeback story. And right now, Rickea Jackson seems to be writing one in real time, while looking absolutely unstoppable doing it.
The Los Angeles Sparks star recently popped up online showing off a very bold, very skimpy outfit while promoting her time in the new 3-on-3 league Unrivaled. And yes, the photos immediately got attention, because when a WNBA star drops thirst traps while dominating on the court, the internet is going to notice.
Actually, scratch that. The internet is going to stare.
Jackson looked confident, stylish, and very much unbothered, which is impressive considering the messy headlines surrounding her recent breakup with NFL player James Pearce Jr..
A disturbing pattern has come to light around Falcons linebacker James Pearce Jr. in the months leading up to the NFL player’s alleged domestic violence incident with Los Angeles Sparks star Rickea Jackson in February that landed Pearce in cuffs.
In the months before his Feb. 7 arrest, police had been called at least seven times by his unidentified girlfriend over fears that she was being harassed and stalked by the Falcons player, according to a troubling report by ESPN.
After that incident, she told police that they had recently broken up after being together for three years.
The police reports obtained by ESPN span from late November through the day that Pearce allegedly rammed his car into Jackson’s in Doral, Florida, in a terrifying episode that resulted in Pearce being arrested on felony battery and stalking charges.
The new information published showed an allegedly escalating pattern of incidents, which included one on Jan. 28, where cops responded to a woman’s residence in Doral after she was “in fear” after Pearce had damaged the front door of her home.
Fans quickly flooded the comments on her latest posts. Some praised her look, others applauded her confidence, and plenty of people simply said what everyone else was thinking: she looks incredible.
Which, frankly, makes the timing even more perfect, because nothing says “moving on” quite like dropping stunning thirst traps while thriving in a rising basketball league.
So while the headlines around James Pearce Jr. remain messy and complicated, Rickea Jackson seems focused on something much simpler.
Balling out, looking good and reminding everyone that sometimes the best response to chaos is confidence.
