A lighthearted father-daughter bonding moment has now spiraled into something far darker. According to reports, preschooler Reese Donatelli has been receiving ‘death threats’ from angry gamblers after going 0–8 while predicting playoff winners. The IG account where the videos were uploaded has since been turned private.

Yes, ‘death threats’, directed at a four-year-old.

“It’s nuts,” her father said when responding to the same. “She’s obviously not an NFL analyst. She’s picking teams based on the color of her dress, or she’ll pick the Packers because she likes cheese. She just relates these silly little things as reasons why she picks certain teams.”

And that’s really the point. Reese isn’t an NFL analyst or someone offering betting advice. She’s a four-year-old making picks four based on things like matching the helmet color to her outfit.

She only chose the Packers because she likes cheese.

Her picks based on simple things saw her go 0-8 in the first eight postseason games. That’s when things turned ugly. Social media quickly labeled her a “bad omen.”

And from there, it somehow escalated into something far worse. Angry bettors began blaming a preschooler for their losses, sending threats that never should have existed in the first place.

Somehow, amid all of this, Reese did correctly pick one winner and broke her 0-8 streak after the Broncos advanced to the AFC Championship. But it didn’t matter.

She still met with criticism, and even a profanity-laced rant from Cardi B.

Cardi B took a dig at Reese Donatelli for predicting the Patriots’ win

In one of the few predictions that actually landed, Reese picked the New England Patriots to beat the Texans in the divisional round. And this time, she was right. New England, under Mike Vrabel, turned in a strong defensive performance and moved on to the AFC Championship Round, where they’re set to face the Denver Broncos with a Super Bowl spot on the line.

Almost immediately after that result, Cardi B jumped on social media and took a shot at Reese’s picks, posting, “That little white girl said we’re going to win. F–k that bitch!” Moments later, she added, “I didn’t mean to say that.”

Ironically, Patriots vs. Texans ended up being the only game where Reese’s prediction came true, which led social media to jokingly call it the moment the “Curse finally broken.” But even that didn’t cool things down. What was meant to be a harmless, unplanned social media moment between Anthony Donatelli and his daughter spiraled further out of control.

While some fans laughed it off or found the whole thing amusing, others crossed the line entirely, turning a lighthearted gimmick into something ugly, with death threats now part of the conversation.
