remember when Naomi Osaka dropped out of the French Open in 2021 for mental health and everyone was like omg good for her good job

and now Chappell Roan dropped out of some festival for mental health and everyone is like omg this is the job she signed up for how dare she

?????

can someone explain

The only reason I can think of is that by that point Osaka had achieved everything…won multiple slams, become world number 1 etc. What has Chappell Roan achieved professionally so far? 

I feel like some might feel they don't 'deserve' to have a break like this yet? Not sure.

Also, tennis fans are generally older and less likely to have a emotionally charged reaction to something like this, and perhaps be a bit more understanding because they've all felt burnout etc at some point too.
