Talia Baia made things even worse after sharing a photo of her latest locker room interview following some intense backlash.
The student reporter has been quite the attraction during the NCAA Tournament this year. She went viral after posting a photo of herself interviewing Auburn star Johni Broome to X over the weekend.
Talia found herself on the end of rife criticism for standing between the player’s legs, rather close to his genitals, while speaking to him in the locker room ahead of the Tigers’ loss to Florida.
Most people in the comments trolled her for putting herself in such a position, while others advised with some seriousness that she should have been standing farther away. She insisted that he was the one who asked her to come closer because he could not hear her clearly.
Talia Baia’s Interview Methods Still Need Some Work
The journalist has since posted a new photo, this one showing her sitting next to Florida center Micah Handlogten while interviewing him.
“Got myself a chair this time… lol,” she joked.
But you’ll understand why folks still thought she could have been more appropriate when you see the photo below:
“Next, you can get a longer skirt,” someone suggested.
“Bro working hard on that eye contact lol,” someone else joked.
“I bet your farts smell so good,” said a third. We’re sure he’s wrong…
“You think a male reporter would catch flack if he interviewed women athletes in their locker room wearing nothing?” another user asked.
It appears Talia Baia just can’t get it right at the moment. Who knows? Maybe it will be something else in her next post. We’ll have to wait and see.
Fortunately, she’s not expected to take very long as Florida and Houston are set to face off in the final this Monday night. Are you looking forward to her National Title post?
