Serena Williams' Husband Had The Best Response To A "Sexist Clown" Who Commented On Her Weight
"My 3-year-old has more Grand Slam victories than this clown."
It's no secret that tennis superstar Serena Williams, Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian, and their daughter, Olympia, are one of the cutest families around.
Seriously — Alexis never misses a chance to publicly share his love for his wife, like when he accidentally thirst-tweeted about her during the 2020 election.
I'm talking about Georgia, but y'all ain't wrong
Even Emojipedia got involved.
And this week Alexis took the opportunity to shut down someone who decided it was his business to make comments about Serena's weight. (It wasn't.)
It all started when 81-year-old former tennis player Ion Tiriac was quoted saying Serena should retire from the sport.

"At this age and the weight she is now, she does not move as easily as she did 15 years ago," Tiriac said, according to a translation by Ubitennis.
"Serena was a sensational player," he went on. "If she had a little decency, she would retire! From all points of view."
Well, Alexis replied to a journalist who tweeted the article with a simple message: No one cares what Ion Tiriac has to say about Serena.
@josemorgado Safe to say no one gives a damn what Ion Țiriac thinks.
But he didn't stop there. Alexis went off and had a little google, and returned to the thread a couple of hours later with his findings.
@josemorgado Had to Google it... turns out my 3 year old has more Grand Slam victories than this 🤡🤡
In case you were unaware, Serena Williams has 23 Grand Slam titles to her name — one of which she won while she was pregnant.
And then he decided to have the last word, tweeting: "2021 and no holding back when a racist/sexist clown with a platform comes for my family."
2021 and no holding back when a racist/sexist clown with a platform comes for my family.
We love to see it!
