Piers Morgan’s attempt to ridicule Naomi Osaka backfired spectacularly
How does not speaking to the media silence the media? 🤔
Knowing your self worth and protecting your mental health is to be admired. Abuse is not part of the job.
And being empowered not to put up with shit is to be applauded and admired. #NaomiOsaka https://t.co/h52LX7SsQo

Naomi Osaka is a world class athlete- Piers Morgan is a major league arsehole.

Need we even pose the question as to why and to the degree – that two women just living their lives: Naomi Osaka & Meghan Markle that makes Piers Morgan so irate. It’s like he’s personally offended by their success.
Just read the first line of his tweet.
Just Disgraceful. pic.twitter.com/rYLmZ9PaWW

Isn’t not wanting to speak to the press kind of antithetical to your claim she’s a narcissist?

PIERS MORGAN: Once again believing he's an expert on who should (him) and who shouldn't (people suffering from them) be allowed to talk about mental health problems. pic.twitter.com/1HlfIJUN2u

When did this guy become the arbiter of who is or isn’t genuinely suffering with mental health issues?

One incident in particular cropped up a lot.
Piers Morgan: Naomi Osaka is a petulant brat who can't handle criticism.

Piers Morgan walked off his studio because he couldn't even withstand hearing mild criticism from his colleague. The man is the most fragile, brittle spirit. He's a nothing compared to Naomi Osaka.

Piers Morgan walked off his own show’s set after 90 seconds of gentle critique but can’t understand why Naomi Osaka withdrew from one tennis match after years of media ignited mental health struggles. Smh https://t.co/sfvMYno9Mf

Big words from someone who flounced off set because the weatherman gave them a talking to

These two tweets from Alastair Campbell, who has spoken expansively about his own struggle with depression, say it perfectly.
Have you met her? Do you actually know anything about her? What right to make such massive judgement on a young woman who happens to be very good at tennis but who finds speaking publicly really hard and who has struggled with depression? Who are you or anyone but she or 1/2 https://t.co/9ZEIK4gFau

her doctor to say whether that is true or false? I suspect you know a lot more about cyclical exploitation than she does. 2/2
