Serena Williams seen dancing again with daughter at Tiger Woods’ star-studded TGL after Super Bowl uproar
Weeks after causing uproar with her crip walk at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, Serena Williams once again tried dancing in public on Monday night, only to have daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian appear to shut her down at a star-studded TGL event.
The 43-year-old mother of two may have slightly embarrassed her eldest, known as Olympia, when ESPN cameras scoured the audience at the golf-simulator competition at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Seated in the front row alongside Philadelphia Eagles teammates Avonte Maddox and Dallas Goedert, Williams raised her arms and moved them along with the music over the apparent objections of Olympia.
The seven-year-old attempted to contain her mother’s enthusiasm by pulling her arms back down, although Serena continued to smile and laugh throughout.
Later Serena posted a photo of herself seated with Olympia, who is seen flashing a ‘peace’ sign for the camera, and a video of them signing Jay-Z’s Empire State of Mind together.
The adorable scene came just weeks after the tennis legend ignited controversy at the Super Bowl when she crip walked during fellow Compton native Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance. The fancy footwork is linked with the early days notorious Compton gang, the Crips.

Williams took further criticism because Lamar’s song, Not Like Us, is a diss track aimed at her rumored ex-boyfriend, Drake.
Monday’s girls’ night out wasn’t nearly so controversial, as Serena and Olympia appeared to be enjoying themselves at the virtual golf league event. Interestingly, Williams is an investor in the LA-based TGL team along with husband, Alexis Ohanian, and her sister, Venus.
But Williams and her daughter’s presence at the match may have more to do with the latter’s budding interest in the game.
The left-handed swinging Olympia is already hitting the links, as seen in a string of videos posted on social media.
The indoor golf league was launched with the help of PGA Legends Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, who have attracted a number of other celebrities in addition to Williams.
On Monday, for instance, former Cleveland Indians pitcher CC Sabathia, ex-New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred and Mets owner Steve Cohen were all watching from the crowd, as was PGA star Xander Schauffle.
