Serena Williams was not camera shy when it came to putting her phenomenal figure on display in the latest issue of The Fader magazine.The 35-year-old tennis pro showed off her shapely derriere in tiny panties and cropped top for her feature cover story on Tuesday where she defended her sexuality.
When questioned by the magazine about the public’s opinion of her sexuality, the 2016 Best Female Tennis Player ESPY Award winner seemed unfazed.
‘You know, it was, “She’s too strong,” and then, “She’s too sexy,” and then, “She’s too strong,” again.So I’m like, “Well, can you choose one?”‘ Serena laughed. ‘But either way, I don’t care which one they choose. I’m me and I’ve never changed who I am.’
On the public opinion of her body: “People have been talking about my body for a really long time. Good things, great things, negative things. People are entitled to have their opinions, but what matters most is how I feel about me, because that’s what’s going to permeate the room I’m sitting in. It’s going to make you feel that I have confidence in myself whether you like me or not, or you like the way I look or not, if I do. That’s the message I try to tell other women and in particular young girls. You have to love you, and if you don’t love you no one else will. And if you do love you, people will see that and they’ll love you too.”
