Naomi Osaka apologizes for unintentional trolling Jennifer Brady.
Naomi Osaka and Jennifer Brady collided in the 2021 Australian Open final, with the Japanese super star winning the competition and claim her 4th slam, the 2nd at Melbourne park.
Naomi had one of her humorous moments during the post championship ceremony.
The Japanese champion asked Brady how she would like to be called (Jennifer or Jenny). The rising American star replied: “Jenny.” However, Naomi was most probably lost in the moment and instead of addressing her Jenny went on to say: “First I want to congratulate Jennifer…”
The obvious reaction was viral and resulting in a widespread troll all over social media, everyone laughed at the gaffe.
Regrettably, the social media and some media channels accused Naomi of deliberately trolling Brady, but the truth is that it was involuntary.
Therefore, Naomi had to take to Twitter to clarify her position and saying that she was sorry about that. “Omg no I promise you my mind thought I called her Jenny in that moment and I was so confused why the crowd was laughing. I’m so sorry,” she posted.
