Serena Williams Stands Strong Against Skin Bleaching Allegations
Addressing the Rumors During a Makeup Tutorial
During her Wyn Beauty makeup tutorial, Williams saw the chance to set the record straight. She emphasized that the neutral color she was applying was actually her natural skin color. "And then I put just that neutral color, that is actually my skin color, and no, for you haters out there, I do not bleach my skin," she said firmly. She further explained that sunlight can cause different skin tones and that in the now-viral video from late November, she was volunteering at her daughter's play and wearing "stage makeup."This incident highlights the importance of Williams staying true to herself and not being swayed by unfounded rumors. She is proud of who she is and the way she looks, emphasizing that such alterations are not part of her identity.
Williams has no issue with others who choose to lighten their skin but made it clear that it is not a procedure she is interested in. "And if people do it, that’s their thing, and they have every opportunity and they should. I don’t judge, but you guys do," she said, showing her non-judgmental attitude.
Sharing Past Procedures and Confidence Boost
In June, Williams shared an Instagram video of herself getting a radio frequency treatment to tighten her stomach during a girls' trip in Paris. She was honest about her self-consciousness regarding her tummy and how this treatment has helped her regain confidence."Being ok to take time for myself is something I have always struggled with," she captioned the post. "I finally started started being ok to take an hour (during nap time ) away from my kids and work to do something for myself."
The video showed her on the table with the electromagnetic device being used on her abdomen. She concluded by saying, "I can see progress with my skin going back to normal and my confidence coming back. Listen my body will never be the same but neither will I cause I have 2 amazing lights in my life."
Williams' honesty and determination to stay true to herself serve as an inspiration. She continues to break barriers and prove that one should not be defined by unfounded rumors but by their achievements and authenticity.
