Naomi Osaka knocks Megyn Kelly for tweets that 'spew negativity' about mental health
Tennis star Naomi Osaka took a shot at conservative pundit Megyn Kelly after Kelly accused Osaka of not being genuine about her recent decision to not conduct media interviews, citing mental health concerns.
Kelly criticized Osaka for being on a series of magazine covers, but Osaka said those issues were produced well before her break.
"Seeing as you’re a journalist I would’ve assumed you would take the time to research what the lead times are for magazines, if you did that you would’ve found out I shot all of my covers last year," Osaka said. "Instead your first reaction is to hop on here and spew negativity, do better Megan."
Late last month, Osaka withdrew from the French Open to focus on her mental health.
“I think now the best thing for the tournament, the other players and my well-being is that I withdraw so that everyone can get back to focusing on the tennis going on in Paris,” she wrote in a statement, adding she is concerned about people working in media and elsewhere who display “no regard for athletes mental health” and that it “rings very true whenever I see a press conference or partake in one.”
Kelly was discussing Osaka on Monday on Twitter with Clay Travis, a conservative sports pundit.
"Since saying she’s too introverted to talk to the media after tennis matches, Naomi Osaka has launched a reality show, a Barbie, and now is on the cover of the SI swimsuit issue," Travis tweeted.
"Let’s not forget the cover of (& interview in) Vogue Japan and Time Mag!" Kelly added.
