Serena Williams’s Husband Helped To Pay A Team USA Athlete’s Rent After She Revealed She Couldn’t Afford It A Day Before Her Olympic Debut


“I compete in the Olympic Games TOMORROW and can’t even pay my rent,” wrote 24-year-old Team USA athlete Veronica ahead of her Olympic debut.

Twitter: @vmfraley The athlete later followed up, “Thanks for the supporting messages but I want to clarify my irritation isn’t with the school itself, mainly the rules that bar me from making the amount I’m WORTH as a collegiate athlete such as NIL which favors popularity over performance. “Serena married a great man who is her #1 fan and he is such an advocate for women! "Flav is the hero we didn’t know we needed," read one viral post with over 18,000 likes.
