Serena Williams built her legacy on defiance. Why lend it to Ozempic culture? | Bryan Armen Graham
Serena Williams, the iconic tennis player, has recently revealed her 31-pound weight loss, which has been widely covered in the media. The article suggests that this announcement, with its coordinated media blitz, feels more like an advertisement for weight-loss drugs, particularly Ozempic, rather than a spontaneous personal revelation. The author argues that this move goes against the defiant persona that Serena has cultivated over the years, representing resistance to toxic norms. By embracing weight-loss drugs, the article suggests that Serena is now capitulating to the ideals she once rejected as an outsider from Compton who became an American nonpareil. The article questions why Serena would lend her legacy of defiance to the "Ozempic culture," which the author believes undermines the very essence of the persona she has built over the course of her illustrious career.
