On Monday, December 6, 2004, people from across the country began
receiving this alleged interview via email, which has generated call-ins to radio stations, letters and emails from individuals curious as to whether Ms. Williams actually said what is being attributed to her.
The answer is NO. Serena Williams has not conducted and would not,
under any circumstance, conduct such an interview.
It is unfortunate that someone could be so vile as to defame and slander
Ms. Williams as the writer has intentionally done.
We are making every attempt to find the source of this hoax.
"Words cannot express how upset I am to find out that someone has
deliberately attempted to ruin my reputation and image," says Ms. Williams. "I would never, ever, under any circumstance, be so disrespectful. Whoever decided to write this garbage does not know Serena Williams. It is not my thinking nor my being. I want to find out who is behind this, and have them prosecuted within the fullest extend of the law. I am hoping that there will be more policing over the Internet, in order to find out immediately the origin of this kind of treachery. No one deserves to be humiliated and defamed this way."
