Emma Raducanu Spotted a Suspected Stalker During a Match—and the Video Is Hard to Watch

It wouldn't have, at first, been clear what caused British tennis player Emma Raducanu, 22, to begin crying during a match in Dubai on February 18. A video clip of the moment shows Raducanu, clearly distraught, approach the umpire to explain what was happening, and then appear to hide behind the umpire's chair. Her opponent, Karolina Muchova, is seen approaching the chair to comfort Radacanu.

Then, the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), explained in a statement that Raducanu was reacting to a spectator in the front rows who had exhibited “fixated” behavior when he approached her in public the day before. This put the whole video into a new light, and made it increasingly difficult to watch.

Most of us don't live under the performance pressure that professional athletes do on a good day and, hopefully, most of us don't know what it's like to have a stalker. But still, seeing Raducanu so clearly frightened and discomfited hits like a ton of bricks. Because most women do know what it's like to feel threatened by a man or be sexually harassed. A 2018 study, per NPR, found that a whopping 81 percent of women had experienced sexual harassment of some kind, so perhaps that is why seeing a woman harassed and threatened so publicly hits a different kind of nerve. It often feels like the gains made by Me Too have been steadily sliding backwards ever since they began, and this video is a prime example. Is stalking and harassment Raducanu's reward for being too successful, too visible, too female?

According to The Athletic, in 2022, a man was given a five-year restraining order after showing up at her home on three occasions, though it is not currently known if this is the same man or not.

In their statement, the WTA said the man had been ejected from the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships and, “He will be banned from all WTA events pending a threat assessment.” The statement continued, “The WTA is actively working with Emma and her team to ensure her well-being and provide any necessary support.” Per the Independent, the man who approached Raducanu in Dubai has been issued a restraining order against the tennis player.

For her part, Raducanu thanked supporters in an Instagram Story, saying, “Thank you for the messages of support. Difficult experience yesterday but I'll be okay and proud of how I came back and competed despite what happened at the start of the match. Thank you to Karolina for being a great sport and best of luck to her for the rest of the tournament.”

It's upsetting, if not surprising, that stalkers seem increasingly common for female tennis players. Katie Boulter, Danielle Collins, Sloane Stephens, and Serena Williams have all opened up about being stalked, and it's only getting worse with social media. “Social media does open up so many opportunities for us to connect with fans, at the same time it sometimes gives access to people who are really unwell and not in a great mental head space,” Collins told the Telegraph.

Emma Raducanu shouldn't have to be proud of how she came back. This should never have happened at all, but it did, and it keeps happening.

Jang Hye Jin Shocks GOT7’s Jinyoung With Her Devastating Confession In “The Witch”

Jang Hye Jin Shocks GOT7’s Jinyoung With Her Devastating Confession In “The Witch”

Is Jang Hye Jin the reason why Roh Jeong Eui wound up leaving her village on “The Witch”? Based on “Moving” author Kang Full’s webtoon of the same name, “The Witch” is a mystery romance about a woman who distances herself from the world due to tragedy and a man who refuses to give up on her. Spoilers On the previous episode of “The Witch,” Park Mi Jeong (Roh Jeong Eui) was traumatized by the abrupt deaths of multiple students who had crushes on her. Plagued by rumors that she was a “witch,” Mi Jeong decided to quit school and stay cooped up inside at home. Even then, her mysterious “curse” followed her, and her father tragically died after saving her from a venomous snake bite. In a preview that aired at the end of the episode, it was revealed that it was not Mi Jeong’s idea to leave the village; instead, it turned out that she had been pressured to leave by the other villagers. Most shocking of all, Lee Dong Jin (GOT7’s Jinyoung)’s mother Mi Sook (Jang Hye Jin) was seen standing at the forefront of the group asking Mi Jeong to leave. Later, while lying in a hospital bed, Mi Sook confessed to her son, “I was the one who chased that girl away.” As Mi Sook was always kind, friendly, and generous to not only her son but also her neighbors, her unexpected and seemingly uncharacteristic involvement in Mi Jeong’s departure raised the question of whether something else had happened in the village after her father’s death. In newly released stills from the drama’s upcoming third episode, a remorseful Mi Sook brings up the incident with Mi Jeong, which had remained painfully buried in her heart. As she lies in the hospital with Dong Jin by her side, Mi Sook catches her son off guard with her shocking confession—and what she has to say ultimately makes Dong Jin determined to figure out and undo the “curse” that afflicts Mi Jeong. The drama’s production team teased, “This week, the heartbreaking reason why Mi Jeong had no choice but to leave the village—and why Dong Jin wants so badly to help Mi Jeong return to an ordinary life—will be revealed.” “Dong Jin will begin to dig into Mi Jeong’s ‘pattern of death’ in earnest,” they continued. “The true mystery will begin starting from Episode 3.” The third episode of “The Witch” will air on February 22 at 9:10 p.m. KST. In the meantime, check out the first two episodes of the drama with subtitles on Viki below! [viki-watchnow url=https://www.viki.com/tv/40442c-the-witch] Source (1)
