Emma Raducanu Hits Back at National Newspapers After Being Spotted on Bus
Tennis star Emma Raducanu has hit back at national newspapers after she was spotted catching a public bus.
The 19-year-old US Open champion was photographed on a bus in Bromley, south London, last week. The photos were published in several national newspapers, with some suggesting that Raducanu was being "ungrateful" for not taking a taxi or private car.
Raducanu responded to the criticism on social media, saying that she was "just trying to live a normal life" and that she didn't think it was a big deal to take the bus.
"I'm not sure why it's such a big deal," Raducanu said. "I'm just trying to live a normal life. I think it's important to stay grounded and not get caught up in all the hype."
Raducanu's comments have been praised by many, who say that she is right to stand up for herself and not be afraid to be different. Others have criticized Raducanu, saying that she should be more grateful for her success and that she should not be taking public transport.
It is important to note that Raducanu is not the only high-profile figure to be spotted taking public transport. In recent years, several other celebrities, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, have been photographed on buses and trains.
This suggests that there is a growing trend among celebrities to be more down-to-earth and relatable to the public. It is also a sign that public transport is becoming more and more acceptable for people of all backgrounds.
