Fans Put Alexis Ohanian On Blast: Is Serena Williams' Husband Profiting from Her Weight Loss Success?

Serena Williams' weight loss journey has sparked considerable conversation among her fans, revealing complexities beyond initial perceptions. The former tennis champion disclosed that her significant weight reduction, post-delivery of her daughters, Olympia, 7, and Adira, 2, was not merely attributed to rigorous workouts and dietary changes.Central to her success was the use of GLP-1, a synthetic peptide employed in various weight loss medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. Williams obtained this prescription through the telehealth service Ro. "I always put in the effort to be the best, so it was disheartening to see no change," shared the 23-time Grand Slam winner.However, public scrutiny intensified due to her promotion of Ro, which her husband, Alexis Ohanian, financially backs, triggering concerns about possible conflicts of interest. Critics have voiced that presenting weight loss drugs could send unrealistic messages about body image and health sustainability, prompting discussions on ethical endorsements in health. Neither Williams nor Ohanian have responded to the ongoing backlash.
