Serena Williams Calls Out Paris Restaurant for ‘Denying Access’ to Her and Her Children: ‘Yikes … Always a First’


Serena Williams called out a Paris restaurant for "denying access" to her and her children during the Olympics.

The retired tennis champion, who served as a torch bearer at the opening ceremony of this summer’s Olympics, shared an anecdote about her experience at the The Peninsula Paris on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Yikes @peninsulaparis I’ve been denied access to rooftop to eat in a empty restaurant of nicer places … but never with my kids,” Williams wrote. She has remained in Paris to take in the Olympics, making appearances at several tennis matches over the past few weeks, including at Novak Djokovic’s win over Carlos Alcaraz to take home gold in the men’s singles tournament.
