Serena Williams Poses Topless As Pregnant Goddess For Vanity Fair, And Some People Find It “Disgusting”
Worldwide tennis champion Serena Williams pretty much slays everything she does, and that’s soon going to include motherhood. To celebrate the upcoming arrival of her little one, she recently posed for the cover of Vanity Fair – wearing nothing but panties and a body chain.
Serena first met her man, Reddit inventor Alexis Ohanian, in 2015 at a hotel in Rome. After a year and a half of courtship, romantic dates in Paris, and Alexis flying around the world to watch Serena play, the pair became engaged in December 2016. The following month, Serena made the jaw-dropping discovery that she was 8 weeks pregnant – and then casually went on to win all 7 matches of the Australian Open with no one even knowing her secret.
Though Serena looks like a stunning, other-worldly goddess in the sumptuous Annie Leibovitz photo series, you probably could’ve guessed by now that, as usual, some people are still shocked by the sight of a naked, pregnant female body. For the most part, however, she’s getting the praise she deserves. See her incredible photoshoot below, and add your opinion in the comments!

Share on FacebookI think it's because the west is so (relatively) peaceful/rich for so long now. People can now afford to keep themselves busy by creating new trivial frustrations which weren't even an issue/priority when your country is poor or at war. Since when is projecting what you would or wouldn't do onto other people a thing? Can't you say "This isn't for me, or "I" wouldn't feel comfortable doing and leave it at that? Why do those spoiled people have to try and change/influence other people to copy their character? Seems very nosy and egocentric. Just keep yourself busy with your own life. If it's so boring you have to continuesly judge others then get a hobby.
Personally, I don't give a damn about the photos as it is her business what she does with her body. But this comment sums up the "west" (I'll say first world) countries societal problems (most anyway) so incredibly well that it makes my head spin. Well said good sir! Well said indeed.

If she was photographed at the beach in a bikini, noone would fuss about how she should keep it private. I have a feeling most haters are envious little humans. If it throws you back so much - don't look... But stop spilling your poison.
Exactly! If she were at the beach and pregnant, no one would have an issue. She is a gorgeous woman with a gorgeous figure. I don't understand the judge-y nature of some people.

It has become controversial to be controversial. It is also controversial, though, to avoid controversy. We are living in a world where freaking out has become normal.
