The 2024 Paris Olympics have been marked by several controversies, one involving tennis legend Serena Williams. On August 5, Williams was turned away from a luxury hotel’s rooftop restaurant, sparking an online debate. Serena expressed her frustration on social media, stating, “I’ve been denied access to a rooftop…but never with my kids.” The restaurant apologized, explaining that the rooftop was fully booked, and Williams had not made a reservation. Some online users criticized her for expecting preferential treatment.
Another moment involved Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, whose appearance at the Olympics drew attention. Fans criticized their fashion choices and the wearing of sunglasses indoors, calling it “irritating.”
Additionally, Snoop Dogg’s role as an Olympic torchbearer stirred debate. Many questioned the decision to have him carry the torch instead of an athlete, with some calling it a “degrading” choice.
These incidents, along with other celebrity-related moments, have added to the controversies surrounding the 2024 Paris Olympics.
