‘Good Lawd’: Serena Williams’ Post About Pottery Turns Into a Thirst Trap

Serena Williams has been driving men crazy for a while, and after posting a thirst trappy photo on Friday she caused even more fuss.

In two separate photos, the tennis star is seen wearing a leopard print top and Daisy Duke shorts while doing pottery. One image shows her sitting down and molding the clay into something, the other, which is the racier of the two, shows the 37-year-old bent over, which drew tons of attention.

Fans lose it after Serena Williams shares a thirst trap photo.

“Why you do us like this sis… im ab to faint from those legs!!! Hammies on fleek,” one person wrote.

“I swiped left and wasn’t expecting all that,” another commented.

And a third person wrote: “Girl, ain’t nobody looking at the damn pots! Lol 😂😂”

Some wondered what Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian thought about her post, “I guess your husband like you bending over like that for the public.. Being honest.”

Meanwhile, Ohanian explained how he’s able to make his marriage work since he and Williams have ultra-busy schedules. 

“When you’re married to the GOAT, the logistics alone can make the act of physically showing up a challenge,” he wrote in a Glamour article that was published on Thursday. “Serena’s tennis schedule takes her all over the world, and my career also requires being on the road. Comparing calendars isn’t romantic, but at the start of every year, Serena and I map out our schedules so that, ideally, there isn’t more than a week that we go without seeing each other.”

Serena hasn’t responded to the hubbub over her post yet. On Thursday, she shared another photo of herself in a red dress that also got massive attention.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
