Last year, the world was abuzz with discussions about Serena Williams’ outburst during the US Open final. After losing to Naomi Osaka, Serena shouted at the referee, creating a controversy.

Now, a year later, Serena has spoken about the incident for the first time in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine.

In a show of openness and authenticity, Serena chose not to have any of her photos retouched or edited.

Serena clarified that she never intended to offend her fellow player, Naomi, and later apologized for spoiling such an important moment.

However, she did express her dissatisfaction with the referee’s behavior.

Serena was deeply upset that a sport she dedicated her life to could be tainted in such a way.

It’s worth noting that Serena promotes body positivity, and her decision to share unretouched photos is another testament to her love and acceptance of her body just as it is.
