Serena Williams has sounded off on a restaurant in Paris for allegedly denying her entry.
And the venue has responded.
Full story below…
Taking to Twitter/X, the tennis ace – who was in the French capital to attend the Olympics – grand slammed the Peninsula Paris for not allowing her to dine at the establishment.
She wrote:
“Yikes @peninsulaparis I’ve been denied access to rooftop to eat in a empty restaurant of nicer places … but never with my kids. Always a first.”
Variety quotes a staffer at the venue named Maxime Mannevy as saying:
“When she came there were only two tables available and they had been reserved by clients of the hotel.”
Continuing, Mannevy added:
“My colleague didn’t recognize her and feels terrible, but he told her what he would have told any other client, which is to wait downstairs in the bar for a table to become available. That was absolutely nothing personal.”
With that, what are…
Damage control Serena is well known worldwide. there is not a place on earth that she has not played tennis. .Serena played tennis every year almost in Paris for over twenty years. buy that b**** and get ride of them..lololo . There lost !!!!!!!
Did she has a tennis Racket on her hand while entering the restaurant? I don’t blame French people didn’t know her. Only stupid Americans like her King Kong ass
Call it what it was she was black and they where not having it .Serena has played tennis there over twenty years and they didn’t know her b******* , Call them out!!!!!
All restaurants have right to refuse service. They never said anything about race. Color people need to stop being exaggerating
Ok Normani. Because the restaurant is about to closed, that doesn’t mean they are being racist. Just because you are a tennis star, they don’t have to do it in your way
It was fully booked for the rooftop area. She should’ve reserved her table at the first place. That can avoid this situation. They can deny her access anytime any day.
