If there's somebody who will defend Serena Williams against the constant body shaming, it would have to be her ex boyfriend, Common.
And the actor did just that when the TMZ chanced upon the rumored girlfriend of Patrick Mouratoglou while he was heading back to his car after leaving the gym.
He called the body shaming as "crazy."
"That's a GIFT God gave her ... people pay for them bodies," he said. "Everybody born with gifts," Common added ... "some people are born with voices. She was born with that body and that talent."
Previously, "Harry Potter" author JK Rowling also came to Serena Williams' defense by calling out a Twitter user for hinting that coach Patrick Mouratoglou's rumored girlfriend has a man's body.
Diego Tristan tweeted, "@jk_rowling @hansmollman ironic then that main reason for her success is that she is built like a man."
In response, the "Harry Potter" author shared a photo of Patrick Mouratoglou's rumored girlfriend wearing a red dress on her own Twitter. She wrote, "'she is built like a man'. Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress. You're an idiot."
The New York Times' Ben Rothenberg also generated criticisms after suggesting that Serena Williams enjoyed a distinct advantage in women's tennis because of her physical structure.
He wrote that Serena Williams "has large biceps and a mold-breaking muscular frame, which packs the power and athleticism that have dominated women's tennis for years. Her rivals could try to emulate her physique, but most of them choose not to."
Thy Black Man, a website advocating the rights of African Americans, called out Ben Rothenberg for body shaming Serena Williams.
"Just as we are trying to celebrate the Confederate flag coming down across the South," the article said. "The New York Times publishes an article on Serena Williams that is so outrageously, blatantly racist that it would have been more appropriate had it been published by your local KKK, or Willie Lynch, for that matter, than what had at one time been considered America's preeminent newspaper."
