Amanda Anisimova, the American tennis star, recently responded to an offensive comment she received on X (formerly Twitter), where a heckler insulted her appearance by referring to her as “a cow.” The individual continued the attack by suggesting that Anisimova’s physique was hindering her professional ambitions, stating, “Being overweight as a professional athlete doesn’t really help her reach her goals.”
Anisimova did not let the comment pass without response. She directly addressed the individual, saying, “Don’t you have anything better to do than comment on a 22-year-old’s body? Like, do you have a job or friends? Damn dude, trust me, I’m okay and I don’t think anyone here is asking for your advice.”
This incident highlights the ongoing issue of online abuse directed at athletes. While many players choose to ignore such remarks, Anisimova’s decision to respond reflects the inappropriate nature of the comment and her determination to stand up against body-shaming.
