The Olympic Games are ongoing in Paris, drawing athletes from around the world and famous personalities. During this critical event, Serena Williams is present, cheering on her compatriots and friends. As evidenced by her post on Twitter, not everything went as she probably expected.
The restaurant refused Serena Williams. There is already a response
Unexpectedly, a post appeared on Serena's account, along with a photo of a sign featuring the hotel's name. It turns out that the restaurant, operating within the Parisian establishment, refused to accommodate her and her children. The tennis player did not hide her disappointment and commented on the situation rather bitingly.
Yikes @peninsulaparis I’ve been denied access to rooftop to eat in a empty restaurant of nicer places but never with my kids. Always a first, she wrote on X.
Her post caused many reactions from internet users, who quickly commented on the situation. Many were surprised that the establishment had refused entry to the tennis player and her children. Soon, the hotel owners responded, offering an official apology.
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.
