1:42
Speaker 2: when you sit in the house, you got the time
1:43
Speaker 2: to do it. And working, So that's kind of like
1:47
Speaker 2: behind the scenes to the ground what I'm working on
1:48
Speaker 2: right now. Breakfast Club is also preparing to premiere on
1:52
Speaker 2: Netflix Monday, January twenty sixth, twenty twenty six The Breakfast
1:57
Speaker 2: Club and Your Girl will be on Netflix. Kind of crazy, yeah,
2:03
Speaker 2: kind of crazy. I had a little cameo on Netflix
2:06
Speaker 2: in the fifty cent Diddy documentary. I had a little cameo,
2:10
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. But no, like it's happening.
2:13
Speaker 2: I'm listed as official cast. I need to figure out
2:16
Speaker 2: like my IMDb and make sure all of that is
2:18
Speaker 2: up to date as well. At first, like, you know,
2:20
Speaker 2: because they've been talking about it so much at work.
2:22
Speaker 2: We've been talking about it so much at work. It's
2:24
Speaker 2: just like, Okay, you know, this is a new thing
2:26
Speaker 2: at work that we'll be doing to prepare for and
2:29
Speaker 2: you know, trying to get things tighter for and all
2:31
Speaker 2: of that, and now it's here. I'm like, Yo, it's
2:34
Speaker 2: kind of crazy. Like I'm a part of a show
2:36
Speaker 2: that is about to premiere on Netflix. Not only are
2:39
Speaker 2: we going to premire on Netflix, but I know we
2:41
Speaker 2: are going to dominate. I'm excited to see like how
2:43
Speaker 2: our numbers come in and how well we do and
2:46
Speaker 2: all the conversation around that, and just you know, i
2:48
Speaker 2: feel like Breakfast Club has been so monumental in the
2:50
Speaker 2: space that they're in, and they've really changed the game
2:52
Speaker 2: and opened the doors for so many of these other
2:55
Speaker 2: hip hop shows and podcasts and you know, things of
2:58
Speaker 2: that nature. So I'm excited to be a part of
3:01
Speaker 2: the inaugural rollout on Netflix, and just I'm living my
3:04
Speaker 2: answer prayers and my biggest prayer. These last couple of
3:08
Speaker 2: days have been about like peace and consistency and peace
3:12
Speaker 2: of mind. But today a little man, a little miniature
3:16
Speaker 2: man by the name of Charlotte Mayne, we were talking
3:19
Speaker 2: about the fact that, like, you know, I've been telling
3:20
Speaker 2: y'all here on the podcast, like I've been stressed out
3:22
Speaker 2: because I just feel like I'm not on my Like
3:25
Speaker 2: I need to operate a two hundred percent, and I
3:27
Speaker 2: feel like I'm not on my two hundred percent a
3:30
Speaker 2: plus game sometimes about some things, and that bothers me.
3:34
Speaker 2: Not because of the outward you know whatever. It's whatever people,
3:38
Speaker 2: even when I'm on my five hundred percent game, it's
3:40
Speaker 2: always something being said. But just internally, I just know
3:44
Speaker 2: the level of achievement I like to operate within, and
3:47
Speaker 2: I couldn't figure out kind of like what the role
3:49
Speaker 2: block was. Within these last forty eight hours, I figured
3:52
Speaker 2: out the role block was myself. I was in my
3:55
Speaker 2: own way not leaning into the things that are readily
3:59
Speaker 2: available for me for various reasons. But you know, I
4:03
Speaker 2: think one of the biggest things is, you know, feeling
4:06
Speaker 2: like I can do all things, and what I've learned
4:09
Speaker 2: is that I can't. So I have to use that
4:11
Speaker 2: I got to get to where I want to get to,
4:13
Speaker 2: and what I got is not working. It's time to
4:15
Speaker 2: rearrange and reorder. But I can't rearrange and reorder if
4:19
Speaker 2: I haven't given certain things the real run of the
4:22
Speaker 2: mile that it deserves. And on every new level, it
4:25
Speaker 2: requires a new version of yourself. And I think what
4:28
Speaker 2: slipped from you know, my understanding and from my mind
4:31
Speaker 2: And this is why I told you guys in the
4:33
Speaker 2: last couple of episodes, like I think a part of
4:34
Speaker 2: it too is like getting back into, like heavily getting
4:38
Speaker 2: back into like just talking to God more. I've been
4:40
Speaker 2: running so fast. I was hearing God, but I wasn't
4:42
Speaker 2: talking back to him, and we weren't in conversation. He
4:45
Speaker 2: was just popping in every now and then to be like, okay,
4:48
Speaker 2: you know, because warning comes before destruction. But on every
4:53
Speaker 2: new level, things change. And I think what I did
4:57
Speaker 2: was is I started feeling this new level of things,
5:00
Speaker 2: but my mind wasn't operating on that new level of things,
5:04
Speaker 2: and I wasn't looking around me. And not only like
5:08
Speaker 2: it's not that I'm not grateful for what's happening, but
5:10
Speaker 2: I think you just I mean you just can't operate
5:14
Speaker 2: certain ways within certain spaces, and me not realizing that
5:18
Speaker 2: I was kind of operating, you know, from point A
5:22
Speaker 2: and I've already arrived at point like g it was
5:26
Speaker 2: kind of like I was going against the green, you know,
5:28
Speaker 2: putting the pressure on myself and things of that nature.
5:30
Speaker 2: So now, you know, I feel like I'm coming up
5:33
Speaker 2: on the other side of it, and I think it's
5:34
Speaker 2: because i've, like again, I think me talking to Guy
5:37
Speaker 2: was a big part of it. Accountability is the other.
5:41
Speaker 2: So here we are so Netflix The Latest with Laura
5:44
Speaker 2: de Rosa will be on Netflix January twenty sixth. We
5:49
Speaker 2: of course will always still be here on the podcast
5:51
Speaker 2: side of things every weekday with all the things, because
5:55
Speaker 2: that's just how it goes. So let's get on end too.
5:58
Speaker 2: The Latest. So I broke in who said today? Actually literally,
6:02
Speaker 2: as I was walking in here for the podcast. Early December,
6:06
Speaker 2: right before the Christmas holiday, Trey Songs had got into
6:09
Speaker 2: an alleged altercation at a location like a spot like
6:13
Speaker 2: a hookah lounge here in New York City called Mirror.
6:17
Speaker 2: Mirror is a spot, you know, I feel like it's
6:19
Speaker 2: more late night now, it's op until four am. But
6:21
Speaker 2: you know it the spot, the people be there, you know,
6:24
Speaker 2: so he's there, he's with his friends. It's all means
6:27
Speaker 2: they're having a good time and something goes down. There's
6:29
Speaker 2: a video that surfaced from the night where you see
6:32
Speaker 2: Trey Songs being arrested. H He in the video is
6:36
Speaker 2: like kind of confused. He's asking questions, but he's in handcuffs.
6:41
Speaker 2: You see a guy in the video come out talk
6:43
Speaker 2: to police. Actually, let's just play some of the clip right.
6:46
Speaker 2: Let's so, let's take a listen to Trey Songs.
6:51
Speaker 4: You have to hold on. I understand, miss office.
6:57
Speaker 2: And they just told me many questions. They told me.
7:05
Speaker 4: He just told him he's under arrest.
7:09
Speaker 2: Opportunity is going on.
7:11
Speaker 4: Brother, you just told him he's undarrest without reading him.
7:14
Speaker 2: Right now, you hear the owner of the restaurant who
7:17
Speaker 2: comes out of the lounge, the who lounge, who is
7:22
Speaker 2: basically saying he doesn't want Trey Songs arrested.
7:26
Speaker 4: The owner right hand and Senate look, look, look you
7:29
Speaker 4: don't want him, book, that's the owner you said the
7:31
Speaker 4: only wanted me that you just right, I'm not changing letter.
7:42
Speaker 1: This is.
7:46
Speaker 3: This is.
7:51
Speaker 2: Arrest.
7:53
Speaker 4: Tell you don't want to arrests the one arrested. I
7:59
Speaker 4: need height bro tell him I did this is unlawful.
8:06
Speaker 4: I didn't do They assaulted me. This is unlawful. Yes,
8:16
Speaker 4: they assaulted me. The only team. You don't want nobody
8:24
Speaker 4: Prince to charge brot me what did I do?
8:32
Speaker 2: Just following this incident, Trey Songs was arrested. He was
8:37
Speaker 2: charged with one count of felony criminal mischief and then
8:40
Speaker 2: everything went over to the Manhattan District Attorney's office. Right. So,
8:44
Speaker 2: a part of the issue here was that they alleged
8:47
Speaker 2: that during whatever alleged physical altercation that went down with
8:52
Speaker 2: Trey Songs and whoever the issue was with, inside the
8:56
Speaker 2: mirror this hook a lounge, right, they alleged that there
8:59
Speaker 2: was like all this damage done to the inside of
9:01
Speaker 2: the place, from the furniture and you know whatever. They
9:06
Speaker 2: alleged that he had done more than fifteen hundred dollars
9:09
Speaker 2: worth of damage to various restaurant property, including hookahs, DJ equipment, sofas,
9:15
Speaker 2: and this is all that. This was listed on the
9:17
Speaker 2: complaint when he was arrested. Now, Trey Song's attorney at
9:22
Speaker 2: the time, Michael Schuster, said in a statement that Trey
9:26
Speaker 2: was confronted by individuals who instigated a confrontation and attempted
9:30
Speaker 2: to surround him. His security intervened to protect him and
9:33
Speaker 2: contain the situation. His attorney then continued, public figures are
9:40
Speaker 2: often treated as targets for instigation in pursuit of headlines
9:43
Speaker 2: or financial gain. Public figures are often treated as targets
9:46
Speaker 2: for instigation in pursuit of headlines or financial gain. We
9:49
Speaker 2: are confident that the facts will speak for themselves. So
9:53
Speaker 2: this was a few weeks ago. So today, earlier this
9:56
Speaker 2: morning here in a court in New York, a judge
10:00
Speaker 2: decided to dismiss that criminal mischief charge that came after
10:04
Speaker 2: this alleged hookah incident. So, in me breaking this story,
10:08
Speaker 2: the source that I spoke to that kind of gave
10:11
Speaker 2: me some information on the inside. A source very close
10:14
Speaker 2: to the investigation tells me that the reason why this
10:16
Speaker 2: this charge was dismissed because the appearing prosecutor, who was
10:20
Speaker 2: not the assigned attorney, stated from their prepared notes that
10:23
Speaker 2: the bar owner was not cooperating and that the damages
10:26
Speaker 2: from a multi person altered creation were significantly less than
10:29
Speaker 2: initially reported. He acknowledged this is the appearing prosecutor that
10:33
Speaker 2: the office could not prove the charge beyond a reasonable
10:36
Speaker 2: doubt and agreed dismissal was warranted. So Trey songs off
10:41
Speaker 2: on that one. But we talked about this city on
10:43
Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club. In the meantime, he's choosing to, you know,
10:47
Speaker 2: file some lawsuits of his own. He's recently filed a
10:49
Speaker 2: lawsuit against the Kansas City Police Department because back in
10:53
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, he got in this incident at a
10:55
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs game where he was like in a
10:59
Speaker 2: tussle of sorts with people in the stands, and security
11:03
Speaker 2: came and tried to like it's like they tried to
11:05
Speaker 2: break it up, but then they were like a part
11:07
Speaker 2: of the time it was like all So Trede Song
11:09
Speaker 2: says that because they charged him with, you know, various
11:12
Speaker 2: different things. He was charged with trespassing, resisting rests, assaulting
11:17
Speaker 2: a police officer, and all of this was ultimately dismissed.
11:20
Speaker 2: So Trey Song says, because of these charges, because of
11:23
Speaker 2: the headlines that came after this incident went viral and
11:26
Speaker 2: the reports and the charges, he suffered physical injuries, emotional distress,
11:30
Speaker 2: damage to his personal reputation, financial laws all as a
11:34
Speaker 2: result as incident, and he also claimed that the Kansas
11:37
Speaker 2: City Police Department used excessive force before wrongfully detaining and
11:41
Speaker 2: arresting him. So he is seeking some damages. There is
11:44
Speaker 2: no number listed for what he wants, but he ain't playing.
11:47
Speaker 2: He's coming back for a vengeance, so we'll see what happens.
11:49
Speaker 2: The Kansas City Police Department provided a statement to some outlets,
11:53
Speaker 2: but they didn't really say much. In response to trade songs,
11:55
Speaker 2: they said, generally, we do not comment on pending litigation
11:58
Speaker 2: to ensure fairness for all sizes involved. Anything we had
12:01
Speaker 2: previously said on the subject and the process of your
12:04
Speaker 2: reporting is available for use, but nothing further at this time.
12:07
Speaker 2: So nothing further. Now let's switch gears. So next up
12:13
Speaker 2: in the latest Naomi Osaka. Now I've been itching to
12:17
Speaker 2: have this conversation because Naomi Osaka participated in the Australian Open.
12:28
Speaker 2: Right she won in the second round against Serena CRESTI
12:34
Speaker 2: probably saying the name wrong, my bad girl. So Naomi
12:37
Speaker 2: Osaka is playing in this tennis match and before she
12:41
Speaker 2: goes up for her serve, she's like hyping herself up.
12:45
Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to Naomi Osaka before she goes
12:48
Speaker 2: up for her serve, so they go through the motions
12:52
Speaker 2: or whatever matches over. Naomi Osaka then goes up to
12:56
Speaker 2: shake hands with her opponent whom she just beat fair
12:59
Speaker 2: and square, and let's take a listen to what happens.
13:16
Speaker 1: Sarana Chrstaia is a tough competitor. She came to play tonight.
13:21
Speaker 1: What did it take to get through that one? Apparently
13:24
Speaker 1: a lot of come on said? She was angry about it,
13:26
Speaker 1: but whatever, she's a great player. I think this was
13:34
Speaker 1: her last Australian Open, so okay, sorry, she wasn't mad
13:38
Speaker 1: about it, but well she was complaining because between the
13:44
Speaker 1: first and second, sir, she could hear you just trying
13:47
Speaker 1: to pump yourself up. Was that the problem? I think so?
13:50
Speaker 1: But like she could have asked me, like.
13:56
Speaker 2: Girl, I'm sorry, I don't know what it is like
14:00
Speaker 2: and this is a crazy thing I went. So, you guys,
14:03
Speaker 2: remember back when Taylor Townsend had the issue at the
14:06
Speaker 2: US Open, we covered that here. We covered a lot
14:10
Speaker 2: of the US Open stuff here. Because I went to
14:12
Speaker 2: the US Open, we did like a whole few episodes
14:15
Speaker 2: on it. Make sure you guys go back and take
14:16
Speaker 2: a listen to that, because I actually I like tennis.
14:20
Speaker 2: I'm not a person that like avidly sits and sits
14:22
Speaker 2: and watches it. I did watch Taylor Townsend throughout her
14:24
Speaker 2: time there. I've like, you know, I went, I enjoyed,
14:28
Speaker 2: we got to see cocoa golf. I used to play
14:31
Speaker 2: like middle school, elementary school for like seven eight years,
14:34
Speaker 2: and at one point, I don't even know if I
14:38
Speaker 2: really wanted to play tennis, to be honest with you guys,
14:40
Speaker 2: I think it was more like the ambition to be
14:44
Speaker 2: good at something enough where it would like change my
14:47
Speaker 2: whole world. Like I've always been a person that like
14:49
Speaker 2: had like really big dreams, wanted to like be in
14:51
Speaker 2: front of people, be on stages, and tennis to me
14:54
Speaker 2: was like a stage because everyone sits in they watch
14:56
Speaker 2: you and like whatever. Right, So in me being a
15:01
Speaker 2: tennis girl, Lee, I be watching a lot of these
15:04
Speaker 2: incidents go down and I'm like, y'all, niggas got the
15:07
Speaker 2: right one like some of this stuff. And let me
15:11
Speaker 2: just preface this by saying, I am at a point
15:13
Speaker 2: in my life where like, professionally, nothing is going to
15:17
Speaker 2: damage everything I've worked for. Like nothing, nobody I'm not
15:21
Speaker 2: going to let anyone trick me out of my spot ever.
15:25
Speaker 2: Not today, not tomorrow, not next month, not last year
15:28
Speaker 2: or the year before. It's not happening. I've worked very
15:31
Speaker 2: hard to get to where I'm at, and I am
15:33
Speaker 2: literally living my entwer prayers. You will not get up
15:37
Speaker 2: under me and snatch that rug. Won't happen, baby. So
15:40
Speaker 2: I'm not in any way saying that I think that
15:43
Speaker 2: Naomi Osaker, any of the girls who have gotten in
15:45
Speaker 2: these on the court incidents should crash out to the
15:48
Speaker 2: point where they risk things. But I do think that
15:53
Speaker 2: there's a level of humility that we have to show.
15:57
Speaker 2: When I say we women in sports, yes, but women
16:00
Speaker 2: in sports, let's be very specific. There's a level of
16:03
Speaker 2: humility that we have to show that pisces me and
16:07
Speaker 2: I don't even cuss. Pisces me the fuck pisces me off.
16:10
Speaker 2: It pisces me off so bad because it's like Naomi Osaka,
16:16
Speaker 2: Taylor Townsend, even Serena Williams. When Serena Williams had the
16:20
Speaker 2: incident where she threw down her racket and she had
16:21
Speaker 2: to pay the seventeen thousand dollar fine. All of these
16:24
Speaker 2: women have worked very very very hard to be allowed
16:29
Speaker 2: the space to have a competitive attitude. But the minute
16:33
Speaker 2: we do, it's a problem. When we do it, it
16:37
Speaker 2: ain't an issue when they do it. The minute we
16:41
Speaker 2: do it, it's such a it's a problem. And I
16:44
Speaker 2: hate to see, like my biggest thing, like I hate
16:49
Speaker 2: to see anybody like belittle themselves or shrink themselves or
16:56
Speaker 2: act like they're just happy to be somewhere because there's
16:59
Speaker 2: not a lot of us in a room And oh
17:02
Speaker 2: my god, I feel like with all of these tennis
17:04
Speaker 2: incidents with these black girls, it pisses me off. So
17:08
Speaker 2: Naomi Osaka, after this incident, she made these comments, right,
17:12
Speaker 2: she's competitive, She's talking of shit. She made these comments,
17:16
Speaker 2: and then in the post interview, she apologized, let's take
17:20
Speaker 2: a listen.
17:21
Speaker 1: Well, if I'm being honest, I've never been involved in
17:24
Speaker 1: something like this before, so it's like, I don't know,
17:28
Speaker 1: like if we're supposed to leave it on the court
17:30
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, how you doing. I'm a little confused,
17:35
Speaker 1: But like I get that emotions were very high for her,
17:39
Speaker 1: and I also want to apologize. I think like the
17:42
Speaker 1: first couple things that I said on the court was
17:45
Speaker 1: disrespectful and I don't like disrespecting people. That's not what
17:49
Speaker 1: I do. So yeah, if I mean, if she wants
17:54
Speaker 1: to talk about it, then yeah, But like I like,
18:00
Speaker 1: and I'm pumping myself up in my head, I'm not like, okay,
18:03
Speaker 1: and now I'm going to distract the other person like
18:06
Speaker 1: it's purely for me.
18:07
Speaker 2: So no, granted, no one made her apologize. Naomi Osaka
18:12
Speaker 2: is a very sweet I mean I've never met her,
18:14
Speaker 2: but from what it seems like, Naomi Osaka is a
18:16
Speaker 2: very sweet, humble, talented girl who just she's just not
18:23
Speaker 2: not trying to be in all the drama, very in
18:25
Speaker 2: tune with her emotions and her feelings and you know,
18:27
Speaker 2: all of the things. Some of it she gets pushed
18:29
Speaker 2: back for it, to be honest, the fact that she's
18:30
Speaker 2: so in tune with her mental and her emotional and
18:32
Speaker 2: her feelings and she wears it on her sleeve. But
18:35
Speaker 2: I hated that she apologized. I don't think she should
18:40
Speaker 2: have apologized. Now, I don't think that there was anything
18:42
Speaker 2: wrong with her clarifying I wasn't trying to be disrespectful,
18:46
Speaker 2: because you know that there are always I mean, it's
18:48
Speaker 2: a problem when we do it. Ain't No problem, they
18:50
Speaker 2: do it right. So of course there are people who
18:53
Speaker 2: you know, responded to her having a little fun and
18:57
Speaker 2: competitive edge on the court after she rightfully won a
19:00
Speaker 2: match with she's out of line, she's this, she's that,
19:04
Speaker 2: because the issue here is that her opponent, Serena basically
19:09
Speaker 2: feels like Naomiyosaka being able to say come on when
19:14
Speaker 2: going up right before her serve is against the rules
19:17
Speaker 2: in tennis because you're supposed to be quiet. And that's
19:19
Speaker 2: why naom Yo Sosaka said, you know, I didn't do
19:21
Speaker 2: this too. No, there was no malice. I wasn't trying
19:24
Speaker 2: to distract anybody or anything like that. I'm just hyping
19:27
Speaker 2: myself up. Even the umpire, which a lot of times,
19:31
Speaker 2: you know, the umpire was on naiom yosaka side, like, no,
19:35
Speaker 2: she can say that she wasn't even up in her serve.
19:38
Speaker 2: So for those of you guys who have not seen
19:40
Speaker 2: this video, here's what the umpire made very clear. Let's
19:43
Speaker 2: say listen, it's okay, you haven't got so I can
19:54
Speaker 2: talk you three points?
19:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, can I go from on? And you're not selling?
20:05
Speaker 2: And what is happening is so when you go up
20:08
Speaker 2: for a serf and like, you know, once the match
20:10
Speaker 2: has started, it's you know, it's quiet. I mean a
20:13
Speaker 2: lot of times you hear the racket, you might hear
20:14
Speaker 2: the the you know those like noises, but the yelling
20:18
Speaker 2: of the words and all that, even in the stands,
20:20
Speaker 2: it's quiet. So the issue here was that Serena Cresti
20:26
Speaker 2: is basically alleging that Naomiyo Osaka violated a rule by
20:32
Speaker 2: saying come on now, and because of that, she shouldn't
20:35
Speaker 2: have won that match. You wouldn't, but but her sportsmanship
20:38
Speaker 2: was so shitty she wouldn't even shake her hand. Serena
20:41
Speaker 2: Williams slammed a racket down right after, you know, feeling
20:47
Speaker 2: the competitiveness and the rising of the spirit of the
20:52
Speaker 2: game at you know, within the match that she was
20:54
Speaker 2: playing and had to pay seventeen thousand dollars. This girl
20:58
Speaker 2: won't even shake nawom Yosaka's hand. Arguing back and forth
21:03
Speaker 2: with the ref walks out Scott free. Naomi Osaka, you know,
21:08
Speaker 2: talks a little bit of her ish as she deserved to.
21:11
Speaker 2: She did nothing wrong and still decided to apologize, and
21:16
Speaker 2: me saying that I don't think that she should apologize
21:19
Speaker 2: and hate and how I hate seeing her apologize. It
21:22
Speaker 2: makes me think of that Taylor Townsend situation. And with
21:26
Speaker 2: Taylor Townsend it was a bit different because I feel
21:28
Speaker 2: like a lot of times in women's with women in general,
21:34
Speaker 2: with us women, right, we go through these issues where
21:38
Speaker 2: things are very passive. So it's the small innu windows.
21:42
Speaker 2: It's the you know, not like there are things that
21:45
Speaker 2: will happen to you when you were competing or operating
21:50
Speaker 2: in a space where you were one of few. So
21:52
Speaker 2: in this space, naom Yosaka is a black woman, woman
21:56
Speaker 2: of color, operating in a space where there's not a
21:58
Speaker 2: lot of her right. Taylor Town's in the same thing,
22:03
Speaker 2: Serena Williams, the same thing. You know, any other woman listening,
22:06
Speaker 2: whether it's your job, you know, whatever it is that
22:09
Speaker 2: you got going on, right, But when you're a black woman,
22:11
Speaker 2: it shrinks even more. It's even fewer, it's even less
22:15
Speaker 2: most of the time in a lot of these places.
22:19
Speaker 2: With Taylor Townsend, I feel like you couldn't get around
22:23
Speaker 2: what happened to her when Nao yo Osaka. You can
22:26
Speaker 2: debate whether or not you feel like she should have
22:28
Speaker 2: been allowed to say, come on, she shouldn't have, but there,
22:30
Speaker 2: what was said was said, the rule that was stood
22:32
Speaker 2: on or in the lack thereof the umpire says she
22:35
Speaker 2: did nothing wrong. That's what happened. So that's what we
22:39
Speaker 2: have to take a phase value. But you can still
22:40
Speaker 2: argue at all you want. You can argue whether you
22:43
Speaker 2: know Serena Cresti had the right to fill away, you
22:47
Speaker 2: can argue that. But with Taylor Town's in an incident
22:49
Speaker 2: that happened with her during the US Open this year
22:51
Speaker 2: when she was playing Helena Austin Pinko. Hopefully I said that, right,
22:56
Speaker 2: Helena Austin Pinko, Right, And that's when refreshing you guys
23:01
Speaker 2: brain on the story. But that's when they got into
23:04
Speaker 2: it over a netball. So basically she felt like the
23:09
Speaker 2: ball was hitting to the net and Taylor Towns and
23:11
Speaker 2: should have apologized, which is like an unspoken rule. Then
23:14
Speaker 2: she walked up on Taylor Towns and it called her
23:17
Speaker 2: uneducated and she says she had no class, and it's like, girl,
23:23
Speaker 2: a white woman cannot tell you can't say that to
23:25
Speaker 2: a black woman in twenty twenty six, like or twenty
23:27
Speaker 2: twenty five. At the time, it's twenty twenty six down,
23:29
Speaker 2: But this happened last year. You cannot because and I
23:33
Speaker 2: remember Helena Isen Pinkos, she had to like make a
23:36
Speaker 2: statement and say, you know, her comments weren't racist and
23:40
Speaker 2: she's not like all of the stuff, all the things.
23:42
Speaker 2: If you guys want to refresh your memory, we did
23:44
Speaker 2: a whole episode on that here with the latest with
23:46
Speaker 2: Along the Roads of the podcast. But the reason why
23:49
Speaker 2: she had to do that is because it was very blatant.
23:52
Speaker 2: Regardless of what she took back in what she said,
23:55
Speaker 2: those little innuendos, those microaggressions were very blatant in this situation,
24:01
Speaker 2: they're not. So it puts uh, It puts Naili Osaka
24:05
Speaker 2: in a position where she kind of doesn't have a
24:10
Speaker 2: leg to stand on if she says, okay, not only
24:15
Speaker 2: is it not okay for me as a woman in
24:17
Speaker 2: sports to just be energized and had this competitive edge
24:19
Speaker 2: and be yelling out whatever, but let's look at the
24:21
Speaker 2: dynamic because she can't even bring that up at all.
24:24
Speaker 2: I don't think that she's a person that would just
24:26
Speaker 2: you know, do that anyway. She seems like she's more
24:28
Speaker 2: of like a peace and love let's all figure this out.
24:30
Speaker 2: Unity girl over anything, My girl Taylor Townsend when things
24:34
Speaker 2: got crazy, she dropped the uh at the the knuck
24:38
Speaker 2: if you buck on the on the photo from the match, like, yeah,
24:41
Speaker 2: don't play with me, right, But even with Taylor Townsend,
24:44
Speaker 2: she still went into a postgame interview and said she
24:49
Speaker 2: didn't think it was racist, but she understood why we
24:51
Speaker 2: felt like that. Let's take a listen to Taylor Townsend.
24:53
Speaker 3: You know, she told me that I have no education,
24:55
Speaker 3: no class, and to see what happens if we play
24:59
Speaker 3: each other outside of you and I said, you know,
25:01
Speaker 3: I'm excited, bring it. So I can't speak on how
25:04
Speaker 3: she felt about it. That's something that you're going to
25:06
Speaker 3: have to ask her. I didn't take it in that way.
25:09
Speaker 3: But also, you know, that has been a stigma in
25:11
Speaker 3: our community of you know, being not educated and all
25:14
Speaker 3: the things, when it's the furthest thing from the truth
25:17
Speaker 3: and the most the thing that I'm the most proud
25:19
Speaker 3: of is that I let my racket talk because ultimately
25:23
Speaker 3: I'm the one here sitting in front of you guys,
25:26
Speaker 3: moving on to the next round, getting the next check,
25:29
Speaker 3: moving on, being able to still be here and speak
25:32
Speaker 3: to you guys, And that's what's the most important she's
25:35
Speaker 3: packed up and she's gone, I'm here, and that's the
25:38
Speaker 3: only thing that matters. So whether it had racial undertones
25:41
Speaker 3: or not, that's something that she could speak on. But
25:43
Speaker 3: the only thing that I'm worried about right now is
25:46
Speaker 3: continuing to move forward through this tournament. I know that
25:49
Speaker 3: I'm a fantastic tennis player, and I know that I
25:51
Speaker 3: have a lot of things that I want to accomplish,
25:53
Speaker 3: and this is another stepping stone. It's another brick that
25:57
Speaker 3: I'm laying on my on my foundation or on my
26:00
Speaker 3: road to greatness, you know. And so ultimately, you know,
26:05
Speaker 3: whatever it is that it is, I don't take any
26:07
Speaker 3: offense to it. But I'm really proud of the way
26:09
Speaker 3: that I handle myself. And you know, more than anything,
26:12
Speaker 3: of my son sees that. I know that he will
26:14
Speaker 3: be proud of me as well, and that's what matters
26:16
Speaker 3: the most.
26:16
Speaker 2: I hate that we have to do this, and it's
26:19
Speaker 2: not that we have to, Like we don't. People will
26:22
Speaker 2: be like, well, that was their choice. We don't have
26:23
Speaker 2: to do anything. We don't have to, But y'all understand
26:26
Speaker 2: the boundaries and the audiences that these girls are up against.
26:29
Speaker 2: Y'all get it. And if you don't get it. That's
26:31
Speaker 2: a part of the problem as well. It was very
26:34
Speaker 2: classy of you to apologize. Nayom Yosaka. You are a
26:37
Speaker 2: class act. That is why you have been blessed with
26:39
Speaker 2: everything that you have been given. The you know, God
26:43
Speaker 2: always rewards people who treat everybody good, no matter how
26:47
Speaker 2: they treat you, and I admire that. But you did
26:50
Speaker 2: not have to do that at all. You did nothing wrong.
26:52
Speaker 2: And I hope that in your mind you are not
26:55
Speaker 2: living with your decision to be energized about a game
26:58
Speaker 2: and a match that you love and that you were winning.
27:01
Speaker 2: That is it. That is all, And I hope that
27:03
Speaker 2: people surrounding you right now are telling you the same thing,
27:06
Speaker 2: because when you do things, and like when when people
27:09
Speaker 2: are reprimanded for things, or even just because she wasn't
27:11
Speaker 2: reprimanded right like the umpire was on Naiomyosaka's side, but
27:14
Speaker 2: when you're thinking about the world and how they perceive things,
27:17
Speaker 2: and you know it just being an issue with women
27:19
Speaker 2: in sports and them being aggressive in sports, and that
27:21
Speaker 2: that is a real conversation. She's hiding behind the I
27:26
Speaker 2: don't want to be that person, no girl, mm hmmm.
27:31
Speaker 2: And I hate to see that. I hate to see that.
27:33
Speaker 2: For us, I do so everybody around you gonna say
27:39
Speaker 2: it because I you know, for me, when I saw that,
27:41
Speaker 2: I was like, apologize, girl for what you ain't did
27:45
Speaker 2: nothing wrong. She should be apologizing, okay, Serena should be
27:51
Speaker 2: apologizing because regardless if she didn't like the fact that
27:54
Speaker 2: you got your you know, yahya, come on now off
27:57
Speaker 2: or not? You few words and your remarks after that,
28:01
Speaker 2: off or not, regardless if she didn't like, if the
28:03
Speaker 2: umpire agree with her or not, her attitude was disgusting
28:10
Speaker 2: and should have been it. And if the shoe had
28:12
Speaker 2: been on the other foot, if Naomi Osaka had did
28:16
Speaker 2: the same thing that Sarena Sirsty did and did not
28:22
Speaker 2: shake this girl's hand after if Neil Milzack got lost,
28:26
Speaker 2: if she did not shake her opponent's hand, if she
28:28
Speaker 2: had argued back with the umpire. Do you understand Serena
28:32
Speaker 2: Williams had to pay seventeen thousand dollars for throwing a racket.
28:38
Speaker 2: There are literally mash mashup videos of John McElroy and
28:44
Speaker 2: Andre Agassy and all of their anger and aggression that
28:47
Speaker 2: they show on the court, and granted, you know, they
28:49
Speaker 2: get fine, they paid their money, but it's just a
28:50
Speaker 2: different conversation around it. And y'all tell me why y'all
28:54
Speaker 2: think that is. This has been another episode of the
28:57
Speaker 2: Latest with Laura Rosa. I'm your host, Laura de Rosa.
29:00
Speaker 2: I tell you guys every single episode because I mean it.

29:07
Speaker 2: of the things, which y'all choose to be right here
