Serena Williams Receives Her Negro Wake Up Call in Paris

Serena Williams has criticised a Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris, alleging that she was not allowed to enter with her children. The Olympian said she and her family were not permitted to enter The Peninsula's rooftop restaurant, L'Oiseau Blanc, in a post published on X (formerly Twitter). Ms Williams wrote in the post that she had never been refused entry while her family was there.
"Yikes @peninsulaparis I've been denied access to the rooftop to eat in a empty restaurant of nicer places but never with my kids. Always a first. #Olympic2024," she said on the microblogging website.

Maxime Mannevy, a staff member at the Peninsula's rooftop restaurant, told Variety that Ms Williams appeared "unrecognizable" when she arrived pushing a stroller alongside another lady. "When she came there were only two tables available and they had been reserved by clients of the hotel," she said, adding that she was not working when Ms Williams visited the restaurant.

"My colleague didn't recognize her and feels terrible, but he told her what he would have told any other client, which is to wait downstairs in the bar for a table to become available. That was absolutely nothing personal."

Serana has had many wake up calls but you can't wake up the dead, she will do anything to herself for their approval.

She was denied, because she denied her own self by being unrecognizable.

If my wife wanted plastic surgery to look like someone else, I would file divorce papers.

She forgot she was Black...this is sad...What is wrong with our people??? 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

I don’t think it was due to racism Serena was refused a table, she didn’t book in advance and this is the procedure in such places in France. The fact that there were empty tables doesn’t mean they weren’t reserved.

Great segment. I hope young black girls in America, watch this video. Say it loud, I’m black and I’m proud.

I'm a chocolate black woman, and I LOVE my skin color and my natural.
I love all of me exactly as I am.

Honestly I don’t know how these black folks try so much to be liked by people who are bent on hating

[MsKimLorraine]

The self hate is unreal. The wigs, the lashes, the caked up makeup, the unnecessary surgeries and the skin bleaching; it’s insanity. Our women are sick y’all; I keep telling folks‼️ 😢

You can't change what God has done. Love yourself for who you are and what God Bless You With.

[robertopieres]

She is so full of self hate that she can't even hear reason, or even hear you bro

[chissitboy]

Serena only started bleaching her skin when she married Brad.

The dark skinned model WAS BEAUTIFUL SHE MESSED HERSELF UP

[katcankan]

"She's unrecognizable to me!" 😂😂😂💜

[geraldlatchman]

That's a shame because, I loved her just the way she was 😢

[Kinemon]

Theres African Women i've seen on Netflix series that bleach their skin with blonde wigs in a non white country, i just ask myself why?

[omegawynter]

No human should be a "mega fan" of anything.

[chissitboy]

The restaurant probably though Serena was one of the women from the 'White Chicks' movie.

[TheMediaMicSpeaks]

It's sad that she doesn't realize that over time she will be forgotten and only remembered by her generation.

She looked way better before the bleaching and blonde wig.
