Serena Williams became the subject of heated discussion on the internet. People began criticizing the athlete for an excessive use of fillers, arguing that her appearance had changed significantly. However, the tennis player has never confirmed or denied using Botox or fillers.

Serena Williams, the legendary tennis star, made a stunning appearance at the Thom Browne show during Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture, but her arrival was overshadowed by a wave of mean-spirited comments about her appearance.

In a video of the event, viewers cruelly speculated, “What did Serena do to her face😮 she looks swollen,” while others harshly remarked, “Serena is not aging well,” and “I want Serena to take the filters out of her face and go back to her natural look!!” “Serena you look like Lil’ Kim!”, “‘Stick with this MUA and calm down on the fillers. You are beautiful.’”

This is not the first time Williams has faced such scrutiny, with some fans writing on her Instagram, “I like this woman but... please just say when and stop with the Botox, fillers, or whatever is destroying your wonderful look! Please!”. For some people, the public fascination and judgment over her looks continue to overshadow her numerous achievements and contributions.

The negativity was so overwhelming that one commenter had to ask, “Are all the comments only negative?” Another responded, “They just all miserable and hateful people! Who needs to judge themselves before they judge other people.”

Amidst this harsh scrutiny, Serena’s fans came to her defense on social media, flooding her posts with supportive messages like, “Anna seems star-struck sitting next to the GOAT! ❤️,” “Always amazing and beautiful Serena,” and “You look amazing.” This contrast underscores the intense scrutiny Williams faces over her looks.

The scandalously notorious Dr. Umar Johnson accused Serena Williams of resorting to plastic surgeons and cosmetologists last year. He wrote, “Serena Williams, I think she got some stuff done to her face. I want black women to stop getting these surgeries because they don’t need them. Serena had a beautiful smile before the surgery. There was no need for the Botox or whatever they did to fatten up their jaws.”

The tennis player herself has never confirmed or denied such accusations. She stands against body-shaming and encourages women to embrace their appearance. “Not only am I happy with my body, but I want other people and other young girls who experienced what I experienced, to be happy with themselves. So whatever, people say, masculine, whatever, too much, too little, I am okay with it as long as I love myself,” she said.
