The tennis star teared up and briefly left a virtual press conference at a tennis tournament in Ohio following a question by a reporter her agent labeled a 'bully.'
Tennis star Naomi Osaka briefly left the room in tears following a question from a reporter Monday in her first press conference since she shared her mental health struggles nearly three months ago.
"You're not crazy about dealing with us, especially in this format, yet you have a lot of outside interests that are served by having a media platform. I guess my question is, how do you balance the two?" veteran sports columnist Paul Daugherty asked. The moderator asked Osaka if she would like to move on to the next question, but she declined and asked Daugherty to repeat the question before she finished the exchange after a long pause.""I can't really help that there are some things that I tweet or some things that I say that kind of create a lot of news articles or things like that.
"The bully at the Cincinnati Enquirer is the epitome of why player/media relations are so fraught right now," he said."Everyone on that Zoom will agree that his tone was all wrong and his sole purpose was to intimidate. Really appalling behavior. And this insinuation that Naomi owes her off-court success to the media is a myth — don't be so self-indulgent."
