Serena Williams is often the target of criticism, and as one of the biggest tennis stars, she attracts attention day by day. The tennis player's popularity further increased a few days ago when she shared an Instagram post on social media in which she criticized a hotel in New York for using cotton as decoration.
Some believe that the hotel staff made such a move on purpose, but not long after, the management of this hotel decided to speak up and apologize if their move was reckless, stressing that they had no hidden intentions.
In her post, Serena stressed that such decoration does not work well for her, probably thinking about the hidden intentions of the hotel staff.
Fans reacted shortly after with various theories regarding the hotel, but most were against such moves.
Alexis Ohanian reacts
Her husband Alexis Ohanian came to support Serena Williams.
Alexis responded to public comments on X, formerly Twitter.
"Folks entitled to have their opinions, but to use owning Radcliffe Bailey’s Monument for a Promise as some kind of a 'gotchya' is so breathtakingly stupid – there is some very obvious symbolism of the cotton in the artwork,"- he wrote.
It is also important to note that Serena actually owns a cotton decoration – a sculpture called Monument for a Promise, owned by her and her husband. The sculpture shows a donkey carrying luggage on a pile of cotton. Alexis shared photos of the sculpture a few years ago, and now it seems to have come back into the public eye.
Alexis emphasized via social media that it is difficult to draw a parallel between such a work of art and hotel decoration, believing that there is a clear symbolism in the artwork. However, some users still share their views, stressing that Serena should not go so deeply into the analysis.
Be that as it may, Serena once again showed how much attention her posts on social media attract and that she really is a tennis player who knows how to provoke reactions.
The experienced American is a symbol of women's tennis, and the reason why many women decided to play this sport.
