Alexis Ohanian, Serena Williams’ husband, is never reluctant to come to the support of his wife. Recently, when the whole tennis world was shocked by Simona Halep’s suspension over her testing positive for a specific drug called Roxadustat, the Reddit co-founder took a cheeky jab at the two-time Grand Slam champion. He tweeted a cheeky remark after sharing a 2019 post. However, fans were not happy with his indirect jab at the suspended Romanian star.

After Maria Sharapova, Halep is the second well-known player, who has tested positive for doping in tennis over the past few years. Both of these players have played against the American tennis legend Serena Williams. 

Fans fume over Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian’s jab at Halep

Back in 2019, the Reddit co-founder was present in the stands to support his wife. In the first round of the US Open, two tennis icons, Serena and Sharapova, went against each other, but what grabbed the attention was Ohanian’s t-shirt that he wore for the match. His t-shirt had DARE written on it, which stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education.

After the news of Halep‘s ban broke, Ohanian took to his Twitter account to share a tweet that had a photo of him from the 2019 US Open, and wrote, “What are you all wearing for Halloween this year???”

Fans, including Williams‘ fans, were all over the Reddit co-founder’s indirect jab. Here are some tweets:

A fan also wrote that the Reddit co-founder has a lot of time to waste around.

Even a fan wrote about the couple. He wrote, “You and Serena are a fitting couple, it has to be said. Both shady and awful.” While the others questioned Serena’s choice.

Unsurprisingly, the two-time major champion’s fans also bashed the American businessman.

Williams and Halep’s previous clashes

The Romanian ace has faced the 23-time Grand Slam champion 12 times. Williams dominated Halep, winning ten matches while Halep won the other two. The two tennis giants last faced off in the quarterfinals of the 2021 Australian Open, and the Romanian lost the clash.

The two-time major champion’s most recent success came in the 2019 Wimbledon final, where she defeated the former world number one to win her second Grand Slam title. With her suspension from professional tennis taking effect immediately, it remains to be seen if the Romanian will get the chance to contest the decision.

What are your thoughts? Did Ohanian cross the line by joking about a serious incident?
