\n\tEarlier this week, Williams shared a series of photos of her summer body on her Instagram. She shared the photos on her Instagram with the caption reading, \u201cI am not perfect\u2026.but I\u2019m perfectly me. Take out time today to celebrate being perfectly you! \ud83d\udc8b\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the photos, we can see Williams <\/a>in an olive-green swimsuit, which she paired with UGG boots and a fuzzy pink jacket. We see her dancing around her lavish backyard, showing off her slimmer frame, and it\u2019s still bothering fans.<\/p>\n

\n\tOne fan wrote, \u201cSerena, you showed the world what a strong, healthy woman warrior looks like and helped so many women feel proud of powerful bodies. I miss that era because it meant so much to so many of us. Seeing you promote injectable drugs to look slimmer is honestly sad to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother wrote, \u201cI\u2019m a little alarmed that Serena is promoting injectable weight loss medication.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, just as many fans love this clapback photo, saying things like \u201cWow!!!\u201d and \u201cHooot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor those who don\u2019t know, Williams first told\u00a0People\u00a0<\/a>in Aug 2025 that she used a GLP-1 medication to help lose pregnancy pounds, saying, \u201cI was never able to get to the weight I needed to be, no matter what I did, no matter how much I trained. \u201cIt was crazy because I\u2019d never been in a place like that in my life where I worked so hard, ate so healthy and could never get down to where I needed to be at.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe added, \u201cI had never taken shortcuts in my career and always worked really hard. I know what it takes to be the best. So it was very frustrating to do all the same things and never be able to change that number on the scale or the way my body looked.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWilliams then doubled down on backing the product with a Super Bowl commercial.<\/p>\n
