Mari Osaka, the sister of Naomi Osaka, has accused their father, Leonard François, of emotional abuse and harassment, claiming that he has mistreated her emotionally since she was a little child and still does.
Mari, who quit the game and was formerly a WTA player, claimed in an Instagram post that has since been removed that she was horrified by her father and that he had failed in every manner possible.
Even though Francois has a place of his own, Naomi Osaka’s sister continued to accuse him of breaking into her mother’s home, threatening to contact the police if he did it again. She also called him a coward for hiding behind his will to physically subdue her.
She wrote in her Instagram post: “I want you to know how disappointed and disgusted I am in you, as a father and human being. You have failed in every way imaginable. You have abused me since I was young and continue to harass my mother. You continue to emotionally abuse her and trespass into our home when you have your own. I’m making this public knowledge because you are a coward who hides behind his physical ability to beat me down and our refusal to call the cops on you. This is it; I’m done with you and the next time I see your face, I am calling the police. Consider this a threat.”
Mari Osaka went on to say that she was willing to fight for both herself and her mother, adding that she would not think twice about killing her father unless he killed her first.
She further added: “The way you have hurt me and our family, honestly, I won’t regret it if they kill you so come back to the house and threaten to beat me up again. I will fight back and I will fight for both of us. I will kill you unless you kill me first by bringing a gun like the coward you are.”
