That's why i said people with common sense who don't operate on fickle emotions, would see reason to sue her. She broke contract.

Ladyhippolyta88:
Abeg e don do.

She has mental health issues.Try to be sympathetic for once she is not damaging her career,tennis is.People will boycott this open because the tennis authorities played a wrong move here.Naomi has every right to defend herself and take herself out of any toxicity.

Her mental health is important.

unmask:
She has been suffering depression since 2018 because of that useless witch called Serena.

bigpicture001:
You really dont know y she withdrew...it is because no single player men/women supported her move..she is very daft with that move

Druss:
Mental health is a fickle emotion. Chei.

I pray that either you or your loved ones never have mental health issues.

omonnakoda:
What nonsense is this one saying?
Extroverts don't have mental health issues?

Someone you have never met you conclude they are an introvert and that is WHY they have mental health problems

I am sure this all makes plenty sense in your head

Lonelypacifist6:
Read to understand.

Boye33:
Stop lazing around, when you have time, go through the piece properly and find where she said her self she is an introvert.

If you can't take time to read through that little piece properly, please don't come to my mention and never say I am saying nonsense again.

omonnakoda:
Nonsense

Druss:
I did and I am projecting based on your post. I would like to see the idiot that would sue her. No one who is sensible would sue Naomi Osaka.

kenzysmith:
Tennis is the most sexiest sport enjoy seeing the likes of maria sharapokvia on mini and this osaka as them they play their skirt lift up and I see their pants . my fellow vasline crew I hope I made sense

JohnBullMySon:
Osaka and her activism. Hope she won't damage her career? She's has grand slams to win biko.

BTW Serena will be hoping to take this now.

Najdorf:
This isn't about introvertism, you are trivializing the issue. She said she has suffered from severe depression for the past 4 years. Also, she isn't black.

I agree with you on some aspects. Introversion is the umbrella many shy/suffering from SAD decide to hide under. Its much easier to say "Well... I'm just an introvert" than to say you actually have a problem interacting with people.

unmask:
If I get you right, you are blaming her for not overcoming her fears? Some one says she has mental health issues from having to deal with a particular aspect of her life and all you could come up with is "she is hiding behind a screen". Probably your kind will be happier if she starts taking drugs like some Hollywood stars do so she can "deal with it".

And just so you know, it is those little things that you feel people appropriate to mental health" that more often than not leads to full scale depression.

Sports is one of the ways you deal with stuffs

Druss:
I suspect people insulting her are one of the following; Serena fans, Americans, Australians, people who don't like to appear weak or vulnerable, people with no clue about mental health likely because they have been abused.

Our society doesn't value mental wellbeing as much as money. Some can't imagine throwing away money because of one's health.

Druss:
Very false. There are players who have supported her e.g. Alex Zverev. I suggest you watch the below video.

The media has showcased those who don't.

Druss:
Played the victim? Lol. You think the Grand Slam hasn't lost out. At times it is better to put yourself in someone's shoes. There is no weakness in it. Lady has been depressed and mentioned that media conferences affect her mental health. You are suggesting she is playing the victim. Go watch the US Open crowd after she beat Serena in the final. It was after that match I finally lost all respect for Serena. I remember when Serena played Steffi Graf. Steffi was gracious during the game. Serena pah.

On Sir Alex, It wasn't only BBC. Dude used to refuse to take conferences. Apart from the one below, there was another one I recall after playing Real Madrid. If you are depressed and mentally down you stay at home, wozniacki did that,viera once asked Wenger for a break, recently De Gea took a break from football to attend to more pressing issues.she wants to enjoy all the paparazzi that comes with being an elite tennis star and here she is Shielding away from the tinniest of responsibilities, remember she's here to make money and glory,same goes with sponsorer of this competitions.

AmazonTopaz:
I have to disagree here,you don't know the depression she is battling with,she knows that first hand and I believe that she should put herself first and take care of her health.We saw how the media damaged Diana and even Meghan Markle.

Do not bring down someone's mental health struggle depression can lead to suicide if not we'll attended to.I believe she should take care if herself first before any other thing.Tennis authorities were just being silly instead of supporting her and helping her welfare she exited the tournament which became the ultimate F,cck you.

loswhite:
Just the same way sane ppl support any mention of rape. Emotional sentiments

bigpicture001:

BRATISLAVA:
There's real mental health issues, but when people in the spotlight want to do whatever they please and avoid criticism they tend to claim their "mental health" is at stake. It's becoming a get-out-of-jail ticket.

The more people claim they have mental health issues the more others claim it, too. How can we live in a society with so much mental health issues? It's becoming unbelievable. It's being used as a screen to avoid unpleasant situations. How on Earth did humans cope with unpleasant situations before "mental health" became mainstream?

I've seen clinically depressed people and they simply take their meds, not broadcasting it like a medal of honor. We've all been depressed, but claiming mental health as an excuse isn't going to cut it. She should've left tennis from the get go if she can't stand scrutiny.

As for Diana and Meghan, they courted the media and when it didn't go their way, they fell back on "mental health", tantrums, throwing themselves down the stairs, etc.

Ladyhippolyta88:
She isn't daft.She has the support she needs and majority of us support her move.

AmazonTopaz:
I like what Naomi did and the fact that she put herself first it is who is healthy that can talk to the media because if she throws tantrums the same media will want to exploit it.

Arsenate:
Totally agree, I'm a huge fan of hers now. What is really sad though is millions of folks out there are probably going through something similar to this or worse but they aren't as privileged as Naomi to just quit (they aren't millionaires). They are forced to put up with their shittyy jobs with shittyy bosses and colleagues at the expense of their mental health. They tend to resort to substance/alcohol abuse to numb the pains.
Sad world all round, tbh.

AmazonTopaz:
How can you call it an excuse when you don't know her personally?Diana and Meghan never courted the media they were harrassed,Meghan was always trolled from day one.

Also people in the spotlight have a right to claim mental health or have such issues even in Nigeria if this country was a sane country every Nigerian should be given therapy if you ask me and their mental health given a priority if Nigeria was sane some of the condemnations here won't happen.We shouldn't make it okay for people to be worn out pr stressed to breaking point and claim it is okay.
I like what Naomi did and the fact that she put herself first it is who is healthy that can talk to the media because if she throws tantrums the same media will want to exploit it.

Humans never coped with mental health issues it made them more insane and lack humanity to reason clearly with the way the world is the economic downturn and what have you,you should not be surprised that many people are having mental breakdown I kid you not.

Everyone has a way they deal with their stress and issues it cannot be the same for all of us.

BRATISLAVA:
Oga, many people are scared to stand on stage and speak. Yet they are doing it. Many people are scared of heights, yet they are doing things high up.

All this mental health wokery is bullshit.

We can't hide behind it when we don't want to go out and do things. Will every introvert claim mental health when they get nervous in public? Will every extrovert claim mental health when they have to be quiet in public?

Just because we don't want to do things or they make us anxious, it doesn't mean that it is a mental health crisis.

The more people focus on it, the more ridiculous it gets. There are real mental health problems and there are these mockeries. All the publicity on it is for what purpose? Why not take her meds and quietly deal with it?

Very soon teachers who are scared of speaking publicly will insist they teach from behind screens to save their mental health. In fact, a president will refuse to address his citizens to avoid tinkering with his mental health.

Boye33:
One of the many travails of a deep rooted introvert.

unmask:
You are still missing the point. You shouldn't expect someone having mental health issues to resolve those issues in a particular way. Because you haven't experienced it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

She publicising it will actually help others. It's like when rape victims keep quiet, it creates a case for the rapist to continue.

And if her way of dealing with it is to avoid the public, or a solution recommended by her therapist why should we question that?
