While the investigation is still ongoing and Halep vowed to fight the ruling, Serena Williams‘ husband, Alexis Ohanian, indirectly called out the 2-time Grand Slam champion on social media. Many rushed to Halep’s defense, questioning his timing, as Halep has denied any wrongdoing.

Ohanian believes that soccer, particularly women’s soccer, has great potential, both on and off the field. That’s why he’s investing in the women’s team, Angel City FC. Ohanian and Williams strive to create more opportunities in women’s sports and build a bright future for their daughter.
