Can you believe that Serena Williams was heavily criticised for blaming rape victim..see more at

The world champion is being heavily criticized over remarks she made about the victim of the Steubenville Ohio rape case. A 16-year-old girl who was raped by high school
football players, Trent Mays
and Ma’Lik Richmond, who were each sentenced to a year in juvenile jail in
March this year.
During an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Serena blamed
the girl for putting herself in a position where the boys could rape her. She said:
“Do you think it was fair, what they got? (The high school football player) They did something stupid,
but I don’t know. I’m not blaming the girl, but if you’re a 16-year-old
and you’re drunk like that, your parents should teach you: Don’t take
drinks from other people. She’s 16, why was she that drunk where she doesn’t remember? It could
have been much worse. She’s lucky. Obviously, I don’t know, maybe she
wasn’t a virgin, but she shouldn’t have put herself in that position,
unless they slipped her something, then that’s different.”
People were outraged by her remarks and blasted her on social media. See the Tweets after the cut
