However, the story of the hardworking father remained unknown to the masses for years. He got his due credit when the film ‘King Richard’ depicted the journey of the Williams sisters from the point of view of Richard Williams.
Last year, Serena Williams’ sister Isha Price, who joined the film as an executive producer, narrated a story from the script that was changed later due to its hilarious and embarrassing nature.
An unrealistic scene in the original script
When Price joined in as an executive producer, her first preference was to make the story more realistic. However, there was a particular scene involving her mother and Richard that made her laugh out loud. Here’s what she said about the scene.
“In one of the original iterations of the script, when Daddy had gotten beaten up one time, my mom met him at the hospital and was running alongside the gurney going, ‘What did they do to my husband?’ I was like, ‘Oracene? Never.'”
She further revealed her mother’s reaction to the same.
“My mom was like, ‘What you laughing at?’ And I read her that part and she goes, ‘Oh, heck no!’”
