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?

Karmelo Anthony’s High School GPA Has Leaked After His Arrest For violent incident 17-Year-Old Austin Metcalf To Death, And It’s Shocking

As the investigation into the deadly track meet violent incident of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf continues, new details have emerged that shed light on the alleged attacker’s background- one that many wouldn’t expect.

Police arrested 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony from Frisco on Wednesday, April 2, for allegedly violent incident Metcalf at a high school track meet. The shocking event left a community reeling, but as court proceedings begin, the accused’s personal story is beginning to surface, complicating the narrative.

Shocking Academic Record Emerges

In an interview with the New York Post, Karmelo’s father, Andrew Anthony, pushed back against the portrayal of his son as a youth involved in violence, offering a different view- one that includes a strong academic record and a rigorous work ethic.

“He’s a good kid,” Andrew said. “He works two jobs. He’s an A student, has a 3.7 GPA.”

That GPA, typically associated with college-level honors or top-tier academic standing, has caught the attention of many following the case. For a 17-year-old high schooler juggling jobs and studies, it adds layers to an already complicated story.

Andrew Anthony insists that his son acted in self-defense, noting, “He was not the one who started it.” According to police reports, Karmelo allegedly admitted to the violent incident, reportedly telling officers, “I did it.” Despite his confession, his defense team argues that provocation led to the confrontation and he reacted to aggression, not with intent to harm.

Meanwhile, Austin Metcalf’s father has urged the public not to politicize the tragedy. “This is not a race issue,” he told reporters. “I don’t appreciate some of the remarks I’ve seen online… They weren’t there.”

As investigators continue piecing together what happened that day, both families are grappling with loss, fear, and uncertainty, while the public tries to make sense of how two promising young lives collided in one tragic moment.
