Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian thanks Chris Rock for his special shoutout to the tennis legend in his Netflix special

Tennis legend Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian enjoyed Chris Rock’s Netflix special, Selective Outrage that came out recently. Ohanian also mentioned that he loved the part where the comedian mentions Serena giving her a huge shoutout. The show was a huge hit because Rock spoke about his peace with actor Will Smith as well. 

Rock made it to the headlines last year when he was slapped by Smith during the Academy Awards following his distasteful comments. Williams recently spoke about the same in the CBS Mornings where she forgave Smith for the infamous altercation. The 41-year-old is currently enjoying quality time with the family after retirement last September.

“We’re all imperfect, and we’re all human, and let’s just be kind to each other. So, that’s often forgotten a lot,” Williams said one year after the incident. Rock now talked about the incident in his new Netflix special. Williams features in the beginning as well.

“Tuned in to #ChrisRock tonight!” Ohanian posted. Later he added the part about Chris Rock mentioning Williams. “And you know I loved the @SerenaWilliams shoutout. (Chris did it at the Palm Springs show I saw & I wasn’t sure it’d make it into the final set).”
