In a shocking turn of events, tennis superstar Serena Williams has found herself embroiled in a controversy with a Parisian restaurant, The Peninsula. The 23-time Grand Slam winner took to X.com, formerly known as Twitter, to express her displeasure with the establishment for allegedly rejecting her and her family despite the restaurant being empty.
The Peninsula, however, has now issued an apology in response to Williams’ accusations. In an effort to set the record straight and protect their reputation, a spokesperson for the company clarified that they were fully booked on the day in question.
“We reiterate our deepest apologies that we were not able to offer her a table at our rooftop bar when she arrived with her family and without a reservation,” the spokesperson told The New York Post. “We do always try to make space for walk-in guests but sometimes this is not possible.”
It seems that this feud between Williams and The Peninsula has caught the attention of the public, with over 5.8 million people seeing Williams’ initial post. The tennis icon’s allegations have sparked a debate about celebrity treatment and the responsibilities of businesses when it comes to accommodating high-profile guests.
