Serena Williams has firmly addressed the rumors surrounding her appearance, particularly the speculation that she lightened her skin. During an Instagram Live session on November 26, while doing her makeup, Williams took to the platform to deny the claims, calling them “BS.” She explained that the change in her appearance was due to factors like sunlight, which can cause different shades on her skin, and the stage makeup she wore while volunteering backstage at her daughter’s school play.
Williams emphasized that while she respects individuals who may choose to alter their appearance, she remains proud of her dark skin and embraces her natural beauty. “I am a dark Black woman and I love who I am and love how I look,” she declared, making it clear that any speculation about skin lightening was unfounded.
