Todays episode centers around a necessary conversation about one of Tennis' leading superstars, Naomi Osaka. Her decisions have had a whole host of people murmuring and talking. A lot of "the talk" has been negative but I, along with guest host Faizon Matthews (a superstar in his own right) wanted to add our 2 cents into the dialogue. Watch Tiffany Cross read Megyn Kelly up, down, and around for her harsh critiques of Naomi Osaka and then check out Naomi in her own words by watching her new docu-series on Netflix.
