Venus and Serena Boycott Documentary


Venus and Serena Williams pulled out of the Toronto International Film Festival premier of a documentary chronicling their life after clashing with producers over the portrayal of their father...

The sisters skipped the premier of 'Venus and Serena' because they are upset that the film covers their father's out of wedlock children and paint him as a control freak.

The sisters did not ask for any preconditions before filming began.

Well if he wasn't controlling he wouldn't have had introduce you two to tennis to be the greatest tennis players in the world. So poppa was a rolling stones and.... are the other kids where you are? No, they are not. Do you have to feed them then that is up to you two.

always doing everything to make the Fathers look bad, coming out of Compton, if they didnt have a strong father, will they be where they are today? but off course they will always focus on the bad things and not over all picture.

They dog Mr. Williams out like nobody's business. Props to the Williams sisters for repping their dad.

Venus looking kinda sweet and slurpy right there.

Well he is a control freak and he did have children out of wedlock. What is the problem? They are still WHOOPING EVERY WHITE GIRLS ASS OUT THERE. I would have went and said that "because of our Dad we are the Women that you see before you today".

Venus look/s beautiful in that pic - Serene always looks diesel like a man to me... anyhoo... if my father was a condomless prick with a control fetish I guess I wouldn't want that highlighted either.. to be honest I'm more interested in knowing if the rumors are true that Serena's pussy really stinks... ha ha ha ha

Good for Venus and Serena! Even if he was, enough black men are demonized, emasculated and put down by white media. I wouldn't let the public throw stones at my father either. Especially since the ones that would be throwing the stones are probably worse.

Biggest threat in the world is a powerful determined black man. Which is why they spent so many decades (1) raping your woman in front of you to emasulate you (2) pumped drugs into your neighborhoods to numb you (3) allowed the black woman to work in the home but refused you equal work so you felt that you could not provide for your family and found solace in the streets, with the drugs...dehumanize you (4) correct music to work in their favor of dumbing you down and blurring your vision, murda you.

Why?

A powerful, determined, black man can rule the world and fuck shit up.

I think it was a noble effort out of respect for their father, because if it wasn't for him, they would never have been as successful as they are. Now with the out of wedlock children, he ain't shit regardless but Oracene will be aight...

@4:02 That's all well and good, but snap back into reality and tell black 'men' to pull their pants up and pick up a book instead of a gun.

@4;02 YOU ARE SO CORRECT EXP NUMBER 4, THE MUSIC IS DUMB NOW A DAYS REPEATING WORDS IN THA SONG LIKE YOU ARE RETARD AND DONT UNDERSTAND. THE KIDS ON THE YELLOW BUS WEARING HELMETS ARE NOW FAMOUS SONG WRITERS. GO FIGURE!!

That old jew-run white media absolutely refuses to give Mr. Williams credit for training two BLACK girls UP and OUT of the ghetto. They barely give Venus and Serena credit for having the mental skills to beat all of those other players.
Here is one black father among many who gets zero credit. Where is his book deal?

Being a terrible HUSBAND is not the same as being a terrible FATHER. I know a bunch of black women who have great relationships with their fathers even though the father was a lackluster husband.
Venus and Serena, even when dipping into white peen, are hip to how racist the tennis world has been toward them.

I know reality honey, I don't rely on the system to raise the children of my family and community. I take it upon myself, as a black woman, to support, encourage, and motivate the black men of my bloodline and surrounding family.

The black men in my family don't sag or carry guns for recretional purposes. I would never date or marry a man that was not of the same mindset.

So yeah, you keep tripping on stereotypes about your own people. But question for you, do you just sit back and complain, sit back and insult, sit back and stereotype or do you put action to your words? Until then, keep moving.

If that's the way they felt, then that was the right thing to do.

Control freak? Could be okay, depends on what you're trying to control. Coaches, orchestra conductors, chief surgeons, and others, yeah, they're all control freaks...

Cosign to the nth degree. Those of us blessed to have good black men AND good black women in our lives see these smears against the entire black community differently.

Gabriel Douglas' mother had a similar issue. Instead of focusing on the mother's sacrifice to raise a champion, that white media focused on the mother's financial status. The true story should be the fruit of a parent's love.

Those old gay Hollywood jews might start demeaning the black man, but that is the first stage. If you notice for the past few years, they've been going IN on the black woman's public image.

FUCK KEYSHAWN JOHNSON! TALKING ABOUT A GIRL PUSSY STANK OR SHE HAD NO WALLS WAS VERY HIGH SCHOOL AND WAS OFTEN A LIE MEANT TO EMBARRASS, BULLY AND HUMILIATE GIRLS THAT WASN'T PAYING YOU NO NEVER MIND. I NEVER BELIEVED THAT RUMOR AND I THINK IT WAS VERY MEAN TO DO THAT TO SERENA. PUSSIES AINT THAT HARD TO CLEAN & FRESHEN.

He may be a number of things to a number of people, good and bad, and obviously was very instrumental in how the Williams Sisters became what they are, but does the whole world need to know about it just so some film producers can make their mark? Why are some people so wrapped up in the dirty details of other people's lives, as if someone else wouldn't find their dirt intruguing.

Anonymous said...

The Williams sisters already know what is going on. That documentary is going to make their black father look bad and then it is going to dig up some white coach to make him the hero in their success. Typical Hollywood. I just hope the mother gets credit too. According to Serena, the mother Oracena was just as hardcore in making them practice as the father. There is a beautiful family story that can come from the Williams' sisters. Just don't trust those white folk to do it. Real talk.


@6:21
Yes and amen.

Every time I saw one of those news stories on single black women I was like WTF?!? When did white people in power ever give a rats tail about healthy black families? Is that why so many black men are locked up for non-violent offenses?

The straw for me was a story on the network Russia Today on single black women in America. I'm thinking: "Now the RUSSIANS are tripping over black marriage?!?"

See, that's why when Chinese and Indian couples get around whites, they speak in their own languages, so the white can't instigate and use that divide tactic.

Divide and conquer. The oldest and most effective trick in the book.

@5:36 I would agree with you to a certain extent, but Gabby Douglas' mother's financial situation is relevant considering that a white family took Gabby into their home and paid ALL Gabby's expenses for years while Gabby was training.

I don't know too many black people that would open their home to a stranger AND pay all the bills, yet this white family did just that for Gabby.

Black people need to get it together AND stop being so ungrateful. No one is holding you back except yourselves and your dysfunction.

Thank you for the lecture white man. Now would you please go to the Vatican and tell them to leave those young boys' booties alone? No one is holding you back except yourselves and your dysfunction.

And wtf are you talking about? Up until YOUR comment, no one said anything negative about the white family who took Gabby in. You just pulled that out of your arse. Yuck. Is Sarah Palin commenting on RWS?

Reading is fundamental. Stick to the script. Read it like I wrote. The comment was about how the white media turned on Gabby Douglas. Even white columnists wrote about how quickly the sharks circled on Gabby after she won. That chick was queen for barely 24 hours.

The key point is...you don't know any black people period. I personally know black families who HAVE taken in virtual strangers who had nowhere else to go. I have friends who have taken in entire families. If your imaginary circle of blacks is slacking, that reflects on you. Keep pushing that myth that white people are the only "good" influence in blacks' lives.

Damn. #whitemansburdenFAIL.

A hetero black woman, I find the Williams sisters most highly attractive, and dare I say, beautiful. They've really come into their own over the years. It's refreshing to see confident, poised, uber-talented black women who don't fit the traditional mold of what constitutes "beauty" for black (American) women but who are comfortable in and in fact celebrate who they are, physically, culturally and holistically (and we know Daddy Williams had a great deal to do with that.).

So, yeah, a boycott might've been in order.

Anonymous said...

I'm glad they boycotted the documentary. But not asking for preconditions was not smart. They know how the buzzards feel about their dad. The buzzards are mad, because he didn't let those young women get swallowed up by their fuckery.

White ppl act like black people can't make mistakes and learn from them.

Fuck'em he's RICH!

Anonymous said...

Much respect to these beautiful sisters. They are the most powerful players tennis has ever seen. It's no surprise that whitey would choose to find something in their personal life & exploit it. No matter what, that is still their father and they stood up for him and let the public know they do not condone his portrayal in that documentary. Not everything is for public consumption. They should have asked for preconditions, but were naive. You live and learn.

Bee Gee said...

I cram to understand why the sistas wouldn't exercise more control on what was allowed in this doc, KNOWING that the prevailing thought in Tennis' caucasoid base is that Pops is a control freak that nobody can get along with. I'm a little disappointed in them for that shit, but at least they're not cosigning it. Black people know what this shit is a mile away and the comments in here prove it. UTA entities hate Pops because he refused to hand control of his daughter's careers over to their country club white asses. That's why they demonize him and Serena every single chance they get. But through it all, you can't knock Pops for how Venus/Serena's careers have turned out and Serena is STILL the reigning muthafuckin queen of Women's Tennis. The sisters are basically untouchable as a doubles team and are the only pair to win 3 straight gold medals (15-0 over the last 12 years of Olympic competition).

Hate that..

Anonymous said...

The truth is the truth. he IS a control freak. He is a bastard maker. I don't see the problem here. If they were telling lies, I would completely understand the sister's position. Their father isn't the best dude, we ALL know this. Is this supposed to be kept on the hush? Well, he should have thought about that before he acted out... had bastards... etc.

Anonymous said...

@12:03
That's not the point. The only people who can tell the story on that truth are Oracene, Serena, Venus and their siblings, you know the people actually in the family. That white media don't give a hoot about the truth, especially when it comes to blacks. The Williams sisters are smart enough to know that a war against their father is a proxy war on THEM. That is just the warmup, because those two are the real targets.

The man gets two girls from the hood to world class status and all these crackers want to talk about is where the father's penis has been? Seriously? And the sisters should be complicit in this takedown? Ask yourself. WHO BENEFITS?
Serena? Nope. Oracene? Nope. Venus? Nope.
Coked up Dina Lohan and wife-beater Michael Lohan get money to make appearances and people want to shit on Michael Williams.

When the FAMILY decides to put out their own documentary blasting their father, then I won't say jack either way. But outsiders stirring up inside family issue? Divide-and-conquer. I am know fan of adulterers but I know a pimp move when I see one.

Anonymous said...

@12:37 what's your point? The Lohans' are ridiculed, not celebrated. People love to see train wrecks, makes you feel better about your own life.

Everyone gets paid for a tv appearance, that's nothing new.

Who is Michael Williams?

Anonymous said...

@1:56
Michael Williams should have been Richard Williams.

The point is that family dirt should be handled by family. That is so complicated and hard to understand? Really?

As long as no criminal activity has occurred like physical or emotional abuse of minors, the Williams shouldn't expose that to outsiders.

Can you imagine Princess Diana's sons sitting in on a documentary that touched on their father OR mother's infidelity?

Can you imagine Chelsea Clinton cosigning anyone who wants to profit off her father's infidelities?

I applaud the sisters for taking a stand even though they never should have greenlit someone else's viewpoint of their life. They got played.
