Fans criticised Serena Williams over her Super Bowl commercial

On the night of Monday, February 9, the most important game in American football took place – the Super Bowl. However, it did not pass without controversy.

Details: Social media users were unhappy with the commercial in which legendary tennis player Serena Williams appeared. The athlete became the face of the GLP-1 weight-loss medication for the telemedicine provider Ro.

In the ad itself, she was shown administering GLP-1 injections and ordering a new pill-form version via the Ro mobile app. Notably, Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, is an investor in Ro and sits on the company’s board of directors.

Reminder: The Seahawks secured a convincing 29–13 victory, lifting the Super Bowl LX trophy. It was the second title in the franchise’s history.
