Lexie Hull Responds to Criticism After Career Move

The Fever already made their move on Hull. On Tuesday, the team extended the restricted qualifying offer to the 25-year-old. This means the Fever are well-positioned to retain her services for next season. However, until Hull officially signs a new contract, nothing is guaranteed just yet.

As Hull navigates an eventful offseason, she recently made a big career move away from basketball. This came in the form of launching her own makeup brand, FORTA Cosmetics.

Apart from being a WNBA star, Hull also holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in management science and engineering from Stanford. In a recent post by FORTA Cosmetics, the incoming fifth-year guard responded to critics who accuse her of wasting her Stanford degree by not pursuing tech or AI.

"Okay, you got me there,” Hull said by lip-syncing a pre-recorded quote. “But that is not a crime."

Hull is clearly unbothered by the criticism. The same can be said for Sarah Guller, Hull’s best friend and college roommate. Together, they launched FORTA Cosmetics and are looking to make their mark in the highly lucrative makeup industry.

Hull, however, will now need to turn her attention to her WNBA future. The negotiation period for free agents is officially underway, and she has a major career decision to make in the coming days.
