Serena Williams took to Instagram Live to dismiss persistent rumors about her allegedly lightened skin, calling the claims “ridiculous.” The tennis icon clarified that the lighter appearance in a recent video was the result of lighting and makeup, not any skin-altering procedures.
“There’s this thing called sunlight, and in that sunlight, you get different colors,” Williams explained to viewers, addressing the controversy head-on. During the session, she also showcased products from her Wyn Beauty brand, reinforcing her message of self-love and acceptance.
“I’m a dark-skinned Black woman, and I love who I am and how I look,” Williams affirmed, expressing pride in her natural beauty. The athlete also shared a personal skincare tip involving breast milk, underscoring her commitment to authenticity and rejecting societal pressures to change her appearance.
Williams’ statement came as a firm reminder of her dedication to staying true to herself and embracing her natural identity.
