The Williams Method
.
Then added: “Venus and Serena, you are wonders.
However, you don't play against guys, like I have to”.
Public outcry that forced the director to apologize for her "thoughtless comment".
“I had no intention of devaluing these two legendary black women and world-class athletes.
The thing is, the Williams sisters did, in fact, take on men on the court (and off it).
(…) The last thing I would want to do is minimize remarkable women.
I love Serena and Venus.
Their exploits are titanic and sources of inspiration.
Serena and Venus, I apologize and pay my respects,” Jane Campion explained, according to the BBC.
