Serena Williams

Serena Williams may have been praised for her 4 Olympic gold medals and 23 grand slams in her career, but she is still not safe and immune from those detractors who resort to racism and body shaming. She even revealed that playing in a tennis tournament is not easy, to a degree, while being body shamed.

For example, this famed tennis player was once being defended by other people, which includes Harry Potter author J.K Rowling, regarding body-shaming. This was when a Twitter user said that the tennis star’s body resembles a man’s body. There was also a time when her lovely spouse, Alexis Ohanian, defended her. Ion Tiriac throws a jibe at her body built citing that she has a different physique compared to what she had in previous years. Ohanian then said that nobody cares what he thinks in his retaliation to the 81-year-old tennis veteran and Madrid Open owner.
