Serena Williams Criticizes Hotel Cotton Plant Display in NYC

Tennis star Serena Williams saw a cotton plant decoration at a New York City hotel and didn't like it.

She described the cotton as feeling unnatural, like nail polish remover cotton.

Williams was in the city for an event related to her collaboration with Kim Kardashian's brand, Skims, and Nike.

She shared her thoughts on Instagram, relating her feelings to cotton's history and the experience of enslaved people.

This is not the first time Williams has criticized a hotel, previously speaking out about being denied a table at a Parisian hotel.
