Serena Williams and Her Daughters Denied Entry to Paris Restaurant
Serena Williams and her daughters were prevented from entering a restaurant in Paris. The retired tennis champion criticized a luxury hotel in Paris on Monday evening, August 5, for being “denied access” to the hotel’s rooftop restaurant along with her children.
Serena, who served as a torchbearer at the opening ceremony of this summer’s Olympics, wrote on X: “Yikes @peninsulaparis I’ve been denied access to rooftop to eat in an empty restaurant of nicer places … but never with my kids.”
“Always a first,” she added, along with a hashtag for the Olympics.
Williams first arrived in the French capital in late July, ahead of the Olympic opening ceremony in which she participated as a torchbearer. Williams won four Olympic gold medals over the course of her career.
