Serena Williams Has Sassiest Response To Male Reporter Who Asks Why She Isn't Smiling

Serena Williams' Sassy Response To Being Asked 'Why Aren't You Smiling?'
|

Being told to smile is the ultimate bug bear for women. And it's something that Serena Williams knows all too well.

The tennis star attended a late-night conference after beating her sister Venus in a tournament.

It was late, she wanted to be in bed, and people were asking her the same, God damn questions.

So when she was asked, by a male reporter, why she wasn't smiling - something snapped.

Serena turned on the sass and told him: "To be perfectly honest with you, I really don't want to be here."

And her answer struck a chord with women everywhere. You go girl.
