The two-time Grand Slam champion, 22, shared a series of swimsuit photos earlier this month that she said drew negative remarks from certain commenters. https://www.instagram.com/p/CC07-lBp2Jb/ More Articles You Would Love Ghana’s ADU Amani Klodin Releases New Bags Gabrielle Union Is Turning Her Daughter Into A Fabulous African Fashionista; See Them In These Haute African Brands https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWF4KQJBGG/ Osaka took to Twitter to address the shaming and call out those who felt empowered to comment on her appearance. I just wanna say it’s creeping me out how many people are commenting @ me to maintain my “innocent image” and “don’t try to be someone your not”. You don’t know me, I’m 22, I wear swimsuits to the pool. Why do you feel like you can comment on what I can wear? — NaomiOsaka大坂なおみ (@naomiosaka) July 26, 2020 “I just wanna say it’s creeping me out how many people are commenting @ me to maintain my ‘innocent image’ and ‘don’t try to be someone your not,’” she wrote. “You don’t know me, I’m 22, I wear swimsuits to the pool. Why do you feel like you can comment on what I can wear?” Plenty of fans came to Osaka’s defense. “Like she said, you don’t know her,” one supporter commented on her Twitter post. “How about saying ‘you’re one of the best in your sport and you’re proud and confident of the way you look. I want my daughter to also be proud of the way she looks and work hard for her dreams like Naomi did and does.’” “You’re so strong and incredible!!” another Twitter fan wrote. “Please don’t listen to anyone who says those things. They don’t even know you! Who are they to judge you or try to control what you do? Sending good vibes your way, I really look up to you!!” UPCOMING PRIORITY EVENTS!
