Serena Williams Shut Down Claims That She Bleaches Her Skin After A Viral Video Sparked Speculation

Back in 2021, for example, the star deleted an Instagram picture amid rife speculation that she’d purposefully lightened her complexion.

Now, Serena has addressed the rumors head-on.

While doing her makeup during an Instagram Live, Serena hit back at the “haters” who have accused her of skin bleaching.

“And then I put just that neutral color, that is actually my skin color... And no, for you haters out there, I do not bleach my skin,” she said.
