Serena Williams Claps Back at Skin Bleaching Allegations, and It’s a Grand Slam of Sass

Buy Me A Coffee

Tennis GOAT Serena Williams took a break from winning at life to address some wild rumors swirling on the internet. Apparently, some people thought she bleached her skin, and letโ€™s just say Serena was not here for it. The 43-year-old legend hopped on Instagram Live to serve a full-court press of truth, shutting down the nonsense with all the finesse of her killer backhand.

Serenaโ€™s Makeup Masterclass, With a Side of Shade
While casually showing off her skills during a makeup tutorial for her Wyn Beauty brand, Serena decided to multitask: slay her face and her haters.

โ€œAlright, letโ€™s talk about this neutral foundation shade,โ€ she said, blending her complexion like a pro. โ€œSpoiler alert: itโ€™s literally my skin tone. And no, for the peanut gallery out there, I donโ€™t bleach my skin.โ€

She paused, probably to let that sink in, before delivering this gem: โ€œThereโ€™s this thing called sunlightโ€”itโ€™s like natureโ€™s Instagram filter. Sometimes, you look different in it. Shocking, I know.โ€

Stage Makeup, Not a Stage Plot
Serena went on to explain that the video that sparked all this drama was from her volunteering at her daughter Olympiaโ€™s school play. (Yes, volunteering. Because even Serena Williams has PTA duties.) She wore stage makeup, and apparently, itโ€™s not her fault if stage lighting turned her into the latest conspiracy theory.

โ€œYes, Iโ€™m calling you out because this is ridiculous,โ€ she said, giving the internet a well-deserved side-eye.

Serena, Proudly Living Her Best Melanated Life
Just in case anyone missed her message, Serena doubled down. โ€œLet me set the record straight: Iโ€™m a dark, Black woman, and I love who I am,โ€ she said, probably with a flawless highlight on her cheekbone.

โ€œAnd look, if bleaching your skin is your thing, cool. You do you. But me? Nah, Iโ€™m too busy staying in my non-judgmental lane and thriving.โ€

Finally, she wrapped it all up with the finesse of a championship point: โ€œSo can we clear this up? No skin bleaching here, just a whole lot of melanin magic.โ€

Mic dropped. Game, set, matchโ€”Serena wins again.
