On the 5th of August, Serena Williams shared her disappointment after she was denied entry to a luxury restaurant at a hotel’s rooftop in Paris.
The legendary sportswoman shared her frustration from her social media account as she wrote, “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.”

As the restaurant responded to Serena William’s post, they stated, “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.”
They also stated that they always honored to have Serena Williams at their restaurant, and would like to have her dine in there in the nearest future.
“She deserves the same treatment as anyone else. Quit being a celebrity worshiper,” a social media user shared.
The rest of the comments were like:
“She deserves the same treatment as the rest of us maybe next time she’ll book a goddamn table.
“Don’t apologize to this infantile person! She deserves a Happy Meal, nothing more!!”
“Oh no they treated you like you were one of the common folk?! Did you tell them who you are?”
“Why upset? This is their policy. Equal for everyone,”
“Imagine if you’re getting a surgery in an hour and that surgeon is top in the country, but someone wealthier than you demands that surgeon to drop you and operate on them… what then?”
“So you just expected someone else to lose their seat because you are Serena. Sorry your privilege card doesn’t work everywhere.”
What do you think? Let us know.
