Serena Williams has shut down claims that she 'forced' husband Alexis Ohanian to donate his Reddit stock gains to the black community after the tech founder resigned from the company's board in a move to fight racial injustice. The global tennis star, 38, deviated from her typical weekly 'Serena Saturdays' Instagram Live show to interview her husband on his shock announcement. Ohanian, who shares two-year-old daughter Alexis Olympia with Williams, on Friday revealed he was giving up his seat on the Reddit board and pledged to donate all future gains 'to serve the black community'. During the interview, Williams said the pair had briefly spoken about the idea together, but revealed it was Ohanian's decision to give up his position and funds. On Friday, Williams shared Ohanian's post on her own social media accounts saying she is 'proud' of her husband.
