Serena Williams finally breaks silence on Will Smith Oscar slap nearly a year on

Serena Williams has finally broken her silence on Will Smith's Oscar slap nearly a year on from the incident - saying that it "overshadowed" the film in which he portrayed her father Richard Williams.

However, the tennis legend, 41, conceded that "everyone makes mistakes" and "no one is perfect".

Hollywood actor Will, 54, had been nominated for - and later won - a Best Actor Academy Award for 2021 biopic King Richard, which followed Serena and Venus Williams' tennis coach dad as he aspired to make them pro sports stars.
