The Olympic Games are ongoing in Paris, and not only athletes from around the world but also famous personalities have flocked to the French capital. Among those present is Serena Williams, cheering on our compatriots and friends during this critical time. Not everything went as she probably expected, as evidenced by her post on Twitter.
The restaurant refused Serena Williams. There is already a response
Unexpectedly, a post appeared on Serena's account, which she accompanied with a photo of a sign with 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 in a rather biting manner.
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 a lot of emotion, and internet users quickly jumped to comment. Many were surprised that the establishment refused the tennis player and her children. Soon, a response from the hotel owners appeared, who hurried with 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.
