Naomi Osaka PULLS a Jussie Smollett? CRYING over HECKLER at Indian Wells...

Naomi Osaka was reduced to tears after being heckled during her second-round defeat to Veronika Kudermetova in Indian Wells.

The Japanese player, who missed parts of the 2021 season because of mental health issues, was jeered early in the match and it was undoubtedly a major factor as she lost 6-0, 6-4 to the world No 24.

A spectator reportedly shouted “Naomi, you suck”, with Osaka complaining to the umpire, and as she went to serve at the start of the third game, she was visibly crying. Clearly affected, she lost the first set without winning a game, before putting up a better fight in the second.

Naomi Osaka made the unconventional decision to stay on court and be interviewed after her loss, saying the incident reminded her of a video she watched of Venus and Serena Williams receiving abuse at the same venue in 2001.

The Williams sisters boycotted the event – widely regarded to be the biggest outside of the four grand slams – for 14 years after being racially abused 21 years ago.

Jussie Smollett believes there’s one overarching reason he was sent to jail, and it’s not because of the hoax … he says it’s because he’s Black.

Sources with direct knowledge and in constant touch with the “Empire” actor tell TMZ … Jussie fully expected to get jail time. He told his defense team before sentencing he felt he would be treated more harshly than other defendants convicted of a non-violent crime … all because of the color of his skin. He thinks it’s more evidence of systemic racism in the judicial system.

Johnny Depp is getting support from what some might think is an unlikely group, but maybe not -- an org protecting women and children. The group, Mission NGO, is Italian-based, and fronted by former Miss Italy Valeria Altobelli. She expressed "compassion" for Johnny in the wake of his trial with ex-wife Amber Heard. Altobelli said, "In deep respect of the victims of domestic s that we have to affirm for intellectual honesty are, generally, WOMEN, we feel to express, as women, as mothers, as free thinkers, our compassion for Johnny Depp in this bad page of his personal history." NGO is not alone ... public sentiment seems to be clearly on Johnny's side, which by clearly means lots of people -- maybe most -- don't believe Amber's claims of   at the hands of Johnny. As we reported, the only uncontested incident of   was at the hands of Amber -- she admitted it on an audiotape that the jury heard. Testimony is expected to wrap next week, and it's likely ...

Bob Saget's Hotel Room REVEALED: Headboard That Could Have Caused Death

Image
Bob Saget   may have died after hitting his head on the headboard in his Orlando hotel room — at least that’s what authorities believe — and they have just released photos of the object. The headboard — in the Ritz-Carlton hotel room — is padded, although cops say there’s a hard surface underneath … they believe Bob hit his head on that surface, which caused a fatal brain bleed. The reason for the theory — Bob’s head was not bleeding externally when they discovered his body. They theorize he hit his head while getting into bed just after 2 AM. Fact is … authorities say they may never know precisely what caused the fatal contact. The reason they’re sticking to the headboard theory — the Medical Examiner concluded  Bob Saget  hit his head on “something hard, covered by something soft.” It looks like Bob used the bathroom before getting into bed. There’s a towel in the tub and toiletries in the shower as well as on the counter. What’s interesting … Bob may have taken a showe...
