Serena Williams was upset with the restaurant that wouldn’t let her in and tweeted about it.
When Serena Williams and her family went to a restaurant, they were not allowed to go on the rooftop. The Olympic athlete was incensed by the rejection when she posted on X on Monday, complaining about the treatment she had received at the hotel. Numerous users of the network responded to her post with accusations of racism.
Restaurant refuses Serena Williams access to the rooftop
Serena Williams took issue with a hotel in Paris that forbade her from accessing the restaurant’s rooftop even though it was unoccupied.
“She wrote about the incident in a post on the micro-blogging site, “Yikes @peninsulaparis. I’ve been denied access to rooftop to eat in an empty restaurant of nicer places but never with my kids. Always a first. #Olympic2024. You’re really Gonna Reject Me?!?!” The Peninsula Hotel, which denied Williams entry, is a five-star luxury hotel which boasts itself of the scenic and “breathtaking” beauty of the city from its hotel rooms.”
Several hours later the hotel responded to her complaint on X. The restaurant wrote, “Dear Mrs. Williams, please accept our deepest apologies for the disappointment you encountered tonight. Unfortunately, our rooftop bar was indeed fully booked and the only unoccupied tables you saw belonged to our gourmet restaurant, L’Oiseau Blanc, which was fully reserved,” as reported by Page Six. The tennis champion was in Paris for the Olympic Games 2024.
The Peninsula Paris twitted on Twitter: “We have always been honored to welcome you and will always be to welcome you again. The Peninsula Paris”
Netizens react to William’s post
Many users of the platform replied to the 42-year-old’s post and accused the hotel of racism. One user of X wrote, “It doesn’t matter how much money you have. Racism doesn’t care bro “ while another wrote, “You were denied access because they were serving prejudice. Shame on them.” A third user wrote, “Did you bring your white husband with you, might have helped.”
