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).

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.
