Naomi Osaka is the poster child
for her arrogant bratty generation. They come into a work place or forum in life and just start (trying) to lay waste to everything thay came before you. These kids, with almost no real world work or life experience think society should be changed because they say so. Then when things get tough? The claim "mental health" or throw out some accusation.
She's back in the news again because people are rushing to her defense because Megyn Kelly pointed out her contradictory - if not hypocritical - actions: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/naomi-osaka-megyn-kelly-sports-illustrated-cover_n_60f6daeae4b07c153fb94cec
Late last year she decided to get political. She started speaking out in support of BLM. She wore masks of the names of people killed by police and started speaking on why:

She wants to get political at work? If her employer allows it, and they DID allow her to do it, that is fine.
But do you know what her employer also requires? It's athletes to do interviews. She refused to do one. Said she doesn't like speaking in public - which didn't seem to affect her in the clip above - getx anxiety, and is introverted. She was fined for bailing on an interview. As a result, she withdrew from the French Open for "mental health" reasons:

She must be feeling better because she's going to the Olympics, posing for Sports Illustrated,a and doing interviews with Time, in which she arrogantly suggests Tennis change the press rules because they make HER uncomfortable:

The balls on this chick at 23 and demand ITF change how they operate because of she feels. An entire world-wide organization needs "change" because she is uncomfortable. And just how uncomfortable is she? She's been all over the news before AND after the incident she got fined for - and is baffled why people are pointing that out?! If she pulls out of the French open and isn't heard from for a month, nobody criticizes her.
