Serena Williams has recently been in the news for her racquet swinging skills. But rather for a film, making it big in Hollywood. The Will Smith starrer movie, King Richard, which is based on Venus and Serena’s father and long-time coach, Richard Williams is now the talk of the town.
Will Smith, who played the Williams patriarch also won an Academy Award for his performance. But that is not why people have been talking about Smith. In a bizarre turn of events, the 94th Academy Awards saw him slapping the presenter, comedian Chris Rock, for making an insensitive joke about Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. The joke was about a medical condition, Jada suffers from called alopecia areata, which makes ones hair fall out, prematurely.

But just to go on stage in the middle of an event and slap somebody, walk back down, and then yell from your seat. That’s just not appropriate.”
