Paula Badosa accused certain fans of “bullying” her before deleting everything from her social media related to what some deemed as an insensitive joke.
Earlier this month, the Spanish tennis star found herself on the receiving end of criticism after using chopsticks to pull her eyes in a selfie. The photo was posted by her technical coach Pol Toledo Bague and later deleted after the racism accusations. Later, the 26-year-old claimed her intention wasn’t to be racist but admitted she should not have done it.
“Hey guys! Really sorry didn’t know this was offensive towards racism. My mistake. I take full responsibility. This mistakes will make me learn for next time. Hope you understand…. I love you all,” Badosa said at the time.
Fast forward to this week, the former world No. 2 announced she would not play any WTA tournaments in the rest of the season but would represent Spain at next month’s Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Malaga. After the current world No. 14 shared the news, coach Toledo issued another post, this time expressing his gratitude to Badosa
“Thank you for not posting a picture that gets me in trouble this time,” the four-time WTA champion wrote and added eye-roll and laughing emojis.
