Not all mornings are bright for everyone, some experience harsh ones too! Last year, the American tennis legend, Serena Williams, shared her rough morning with fans and followers on Twitter. Williams suffered from a migraine then and opted to take Ubrelvy for the treatment. However, recently, the 23-time Grand Slam champion suffered a backlash from fans, because of a recent development relating to the treatment drug Williams opted for.

Williams, in her earlier tweet in December, highlighted that sharing her health status with the world was not an ad. However, in the recent thread, what caught the eye of the fans was the up-gradation of the tennis GOAT from a user of the medicine to its partner.

And in no time, fans were on a negative rampage against the American tennis legend.

Williams shared this new development with her followers on Twitter, while giving precautionary advice. She Tweeted, “#AbbViePartner Please see important safety: http://bit.ly/2Q7wto0 UBRELVY (ubrogepant) treats migraine attacks in adults. Not for migraine prevention. Don’t take with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Most common side effects were nausea & tiredness. For U.S. consumers only.”

But they seldom took precautions into notice, as the recent development took fans aback. Furthermore, they fired fiery comments for the tennis GOAT, highlighting her earlier post becoming an advertisement.

Twitter users wrote, “She went from not an ad to partner.” While the other one said, “so it was an ad 😭💀 girl bye.” Fans were certainly unhappy about the earlier health update being used as an Ad now.
