Paula Badosa faced accusations of racism after a photo surfaced from her time in China. She issued an apology, emphasizing her intention was not racist but playful. Badosa explained, 'The comments began pouring in accusing me of racism. I was just playing around with my face and wrinkles, not imitating any Asian people. I love Asia and have Asian friends; they're the kindest. I didn’t know this was offensive.' Her coach later deleted the post.
In her social media apology, Badosa took full responsibility for the incident. She stated, 'Really sorry, I didn't know this was offensive or toward racism. My mistake. I take full responsibility. I hope people will understand and learn from this mistake.' Badosa's apology came after heavy criticism, and she emphasized the importance of understanding cultural sensitivities.
