Serena Williams has hit back at her "haters" after she was accused of bleaching her skin

During a make-up tutorial for her Wyn Beauty brand, Serena said: "That is actually my skin colour, and no, for you haters out there, I do not bleach my skin.

"There is a thing called sunlight, and in that sunlight, you get different colours."

Serena - who is widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time - has insisted that she's proud of who she is.

She said: "I'm calling you out on this because it is ridiculous.

"Everyone's like, 'Oh, she bleached her skin.' I'm a dark, black woman, and I love who I am, and I love how I look."

Serena doesn't have any issues with people who choose to lighten their skin. However, it's not something that she's interested in doing.

She explained: "If people do it, that's their thing, and they have every opportunity and they should. I don't judge, but you guys do.

"But that's what this world is about, and I stay in my lane - the non-judgy one, and I keep it. But no, I actually don't bleach my skin, so can we just kinda clear that up?"

Meanwhile, Serena previously admitted to being "obsessed" with her children.

The Grand Slam-winning star - who retired from tennis in 2022 - insisted she's firmly focused on her family life, describing her kids as a her "biggest love".

Serena told 'Extra': "They're like my biggest love, so I'm obsessed with those kids."
