Serena Williams' ex-coach Rennae Stubbs apologizes for podcast co-host’s harsh remarks on Iga Swiatek
Serena Williams' former coach Rennae Stubbs defended her podcast after co-host Caitlin Thompson made negative remarks about Iga Swiatek, who just won her fifth Grand Slam title at the 2024 French Open.
Thompson's comments on Swiatek's appearance and relationships on 'The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast' were criticized online as irrelevant and hateful.
"She was similarly not glamorous. She was similarly, definitely not a locker room favorite," Thompson said. "Ego seems way more beloved than this one was. Also wore a hat and obscured her face. Also had some kind of spectrumy, strange interaction with other people on the tour."
Stubbs clarified that she disagrees with her co-host's implication that the Polish tennis star is unfriendly.
"As you know & have heard i am a huge fan & also friend of Igas & those words are not a reflection of me or my feelings of her as a player or person. I should have never allowed those comments to be said about her on my pod. So appreciate if you would take this post down like i have," Stubbs wrote.
