Just when we thought Venus Williams had disappeared from the headlines, she came back and made waves. The sporting giant has been largely absent from the WTA Tour for quite some time. However, she hasn’t stopped fetching attention from the tennis world. Or at least fans seemingly can’t rid themselves of discussing her after her dating rumors surfaced online.

The American pro recently broke the internet while enjoying a vacation amidst the much-anticipated 2024 Paris Olympics. In a series of photos on multiple social media handles, the seven-time Grand Slam champion was spotted holding hands with an Italian actor. This, in turn, sent the tennis world into a frenzy. But what came next was an old clip of Williams with Mrs. Beiber.

Williams’ latest relevance in the media has prompted tennis fans to extensively browse her previous off-court endeavors. The aftermath of such peruse? Let’s just say the response went productively in favor of the sporting legend. Further, one troll got smoked for taking shots at the five-time Wimbledon title holder. Fans were less than pleased when they acknowledged the user’s comments and were quick to rescue Williams.

Tennis fans pounce on online troll for labeling Venus Williams “insecure”

In a recently resurfaced video, the former World No. 1 was seen capturing moments with celebrities like Justin Bieber‘s wife Hailey Bieber, and Vietnamese supermodel Minh Tu. This event, in particular, dates back almost two years. While the highlights of the event showcased the American tennis pro spending quality time with the stars, one user was seemingly upset with the former World No. 1’s behavior towards pop star.

The online troll went off the charts while opining that Venus Williams felt “insecure” standing next to Mrs. Bieber. The tweet read, “venus williams is so insecure 💀 hailey bieber the woman that you are 💅” This comment was not well received by tennis fans. They immediately chose violence and proceeded to smoke the bitter user off the rip! It is worth noting that that user’s comments stemmed due to Hailey Bieber’s impressive modeling career. Notably, the 27-year-old has had a successful campaign with fashion labels like Guess, Ralph Lauren, and many more. She is also recognized for hosting the ‘iHeartRadio Music Awards’ show.

Subsequently, multiple fans passionately advocated on behalf of Williams, stating that the superstar’s wife bore no standing over the legendary icon saying, “Who tf is Hailey to VENUS WILLIAMS???? I’m crying”, while two other fans expressed their bafflement stating “Excuse are you comparing Justin Biebers’ wife to VENUS WILLIAMS ?” and “Venus Williams  and who?”

For the unversed, Williams, who hails from Compton, is regarded as the one of the best to ever do it. Further, she has decorated herself with the most number of singles titles bagged by an active player, 49 Tour-level singles crowns, and has clinched several doubles titles with her superstar younger sister, Serena Williams.

Another fan obliterated the user’s remarks by shutting them down and addressing them to reserve ‘stanning’ of Hailey Bieber till the parameters of X. “Nah this trolling ain’t funny. Don’t play with Venus. Stay in stan Twitter you dumb a**”. However, one fan touched down on Williams’ noticeable body language around Mrs. Bieber and was quick to mention that “Hailey deserved that tbh.”

While the model has an impressive portfolio of her own, many tennis fans feel the athlete’s achievements far surpass hers.

While the online troll has been adequately handled by tennis fans without the intervention of Williams’, this topic assuredly won’t trouble the American star. Moreover, the former World No. 1 has furnished herself with better tasks. She is revamping her clothing line for a relaunch later this year!
