i thought this was gonna be bout the earthquakes that happened in Haiti
but this headline ain't saying sh1t tho

edit

from another report it seems like she started cryin' bout Haiti when a question was asked
after watching her doc on netflix you really see how humble she is and how much she is currently investing in Haiti, she got a foundation there and works closely with kids there help raising next word tennis champions

I myself find it funny she has �mental issues� but willingly put her self on the cover of the SI Swimsuit issue after her first breakdown. I give the benefit of the doubt to most people but something ain�t adding up here. Just take the time away from the spotlight to get mentally right.

:roseidk:

The shoot was months before the breakdown dumb ass.

Its interesting how mental issues dont stop her from doing things that would put most people in a state of horror, but asking boring repetitive questions from the same 20 tennis media reporters is what makes her nervous.

She clearly has a lot of anxiety issues etc

Hopefully she's going to therapy

Dealing with the media as a high profile athlete isn't going to go away
So she's going to have to figure something out

She can't deal with it and its sad to see her just breaking down so often

That was a very fair question
There was absolutely nothing ill or bullish about it at all
If you can't handle the media especially in a sport where women in general need all the press they can get to help generate awareness and revenue for the sport.

My shorty Japanese, the head down-cry is common. Some cultures aren�t really good at taking jokes

Naomi is from NY. Yea, she can be influenced by her mother but she grew up in America.

Haiti just had a big earth quake, she have weirdos like Umar talking crap, social media mean non stop feedback. It's all probably adding up.

We don't take mental health seriously in the black community. You could see that with the numerous insensitive victim-blaming replies here like, "This generation is soft", "She's seeking attention", "She's being a baby". She's a young woman who was abruptly thrusted into the spotlight. Ill-prepared for the constant public scrutiny she receives. She could also be suffering from an undiagnosed mental condition which could be exacerbated by being in the public eye.

I agree. I don't know her personally but from afar I'd imagine she probably has social anxiety.

what an idiot

guess u dont kno this country's history

from slavery to now if u have one drop of Black blood u are considered Black

anybody Black or mixed understands this

most of the times they get abandoned by they other side of the family

and deal with the same bullsh1t we deal with

Stop it, y'all pick and choose when to do this speech on a soapbox

Example: Logic

Y'all never claimed that n1gga or gave him that kind of support

The one-drop rule is an unscientific racist concept that was used to dehumanize people of African descent back in the day.

Using it today to claim that someone of mixed ancestry belongs to one particular “race” actually says more about your own insecurities.

It�s this generation bro. Hypersensitive as fu#k reminds me of that old Tyler tweet. Like that�s how all these kids think now even some of the older heads. Naomi did give a super bad look for mixed and ethnic folks out here in Japan tho. She had the opportunity to light the torch and then just fizzled away. Win are lose you go out with pride. She tucked her tail and ran and cried some more. She is starting to be like the lizzo chick. She needs to get it together.

She could make big waves here for people I know about 50 girls that look like her out here. You can always rep your ethnicity, and your nationality. She gave up American citizenship to be Japanese it�s bigger than all the endorsements and the sport and everything. I mean normal sports players don�t change citizenship like that. I mean she has a lot to live upto. I been rooting for her since day one but what is she in her 20s? Whenever I hear her speak it feels lile a little teenager.

No I�ll will towards her at all.

But this sh1t is just annoying. If you are having mental issues to the point you cry as an adult for no apparent reason, in a room full of strangers, you need to go seek help.

Just watching her regularly breaking down is pointless and irresponsible.

Go away and go get help. Come back when you�re ready.

Said perfectly! This sh1t is getting outta hand. What point is there in even showing up if u can't handle the mental stress that comes with the sport you CHOSE to play. She knows what comes with the territory & I'm sure she don't cry when them checks come in. If she needs help she really needs to seek it tennis ain't that important. Take a break & she might realize that even maybe this ain't what she want to do cuz u can't have it both ways.

Legit feel bad for her. I know not getting that gold for her home country still eats at her smh

She definitely dont give a fu#k about that. She probably seen the reality and the curtain drawn from whats really going on. Robot clones is just the tip of the iceberg
