Serena Williams shades Harrison Butker during 2024 ESPYs — with him in the audience: ‘We don’t need you’ and that got the best of Harrison as tears roll down his cheeks like a little baby crying for candy
Serena Williams is throwing shade.
The athlete blasted Harrison Butker as she hosted the 2024 ESPYs on Thursday — and the Kansas City Chiefs player was in the audience.
The retired tennis star, 42, and her sister, Venus Williams, were joking about women’s sports onstage with Quinta Brunson at the time.
“We don’t need you,” the host quipped onstage,
Quinta Brunson added, “At all, like, ever.”
“Go ahead and enjoy women’s sports like you would any other sport,” Venus, 44, told viewers.
Serena chimed in, “Except you, Harrison Butker, we don’t need you.”
Brunson, 34, added, “At all, like, ever.”
While the camera did not pan to Butker, 28, to catch the kicker’s reaction, he was present at the ceremony and walked the red carpet.
The NFL player did not attend with wife Isabelle Butker, instead posing for pictures solo.
The awards ceremony took place two months after Butker’s controversial commencement speech at Benedictine University in which he urged women to consider “homemaker” their “most important title.”
