Serena Williams has established her legacy on the court by fearlessly going against her opponents and clinching 23 Grand Slam titles in the end. That is exactly the same thing Williams did in an off-court setting. Williams has never been afraid of challenges so one time when she thought a kid was in danger, she took the car gears in her hand to get him out of trouble. However, things got tricky as something like an innocent joke turned out to be quite serious.

American actor Rob Pinkston was new to the entertainment industry at the time of the incident. Recently, he broke down the series of events that eventually stirred up the serious side of Serena Williams.

Rob Pinkston details how Serena Williams chased him down

Serena Williams loves her daughter Olympia, and consequently, she is also very protective of her. So, when she encountered a situation where she saw the possibility of someone’s kid getting hurt, she did not take it lightly. However, the only problem was that it was a prank show which Williams was not aware of. The actor dictated the chain of events in a podcast, Ned’s Declassified Podcast Survival Guide.

The American actor Rob Pinkston had just got an audition at the hidden camera-prank show Punk’d. He was just 13 at the time and his job was to fight with his “Aunt” and then take off with a car in front of Serena Williams. The producer of the show was in the back of the vehicle and was guiding Pinkston. Pinkston stated, “I drive away from Serena Williams. She sees me drive off. That’s the gag.”

The producer was going to take to the driver’s seat and take Pinkston to the location where they would have disclosed the prank to Williams. However, Williams was not waiting. Pinkston stated, “Serena Williams is like a superwoman. And she gets in the fucking driver’s seat and starts chasing me. She’s like Imma save this kid.” And she does. He stated, “She chases us and catches up to us three blocks later at a light. She pulls up.”

Ashton Kutcher, the conductor of the prank got worried about the prank blowing up. By this time the producer had taken the driver’s seat. So, Pinkston instantly starts making things up and called the producer as some person he knows. However, Williams sensed the danger and Pinkston narrated what she said, “Baby don’t do this!”

But they did not want the prank to blow up. So, the producer took off at a high speed. Pinkston reminisced, “And Serena’s chasing us. The whole way! It was absolutely insane.”

And somehow after driving for six miles, the producer left Williams behind.

How did the prank actually go?

However, this all is missing from the actual episode. The episode only features Pinkston taking off with the car and then Williams following worriedly and the revelation of the prank. Even if it was a prank, Williams did not take it easy. At that point, Williams did not have a baby, but she kept on telling the “Aunt” that she would be so panicked if it was her baby that was stuck in the car.

Nonetheless, in the end, Williams calmly talked to Pinkston on a call and they went to the location. This is where American actor Ashton Kutcher punk’d Williams and she rolled off on the ground with the hilarious revelation.
