Serena Williams is making it clear that she is not lightening her skin. The tennis star has been accused by fans online that she is using products to appear lighter.<\/p>\n

“For all the haters out there, I do not bleach my skin,” she said via Instagram Live on Monday, Dec. 2. “There’s something called sunlight and in different lighting, you get different shades.”<\/p>\n

She told fans that she loves who she is and decided to speak out because she wanted to clear up the rumors.<\/p>\n

“I’m a dark, Black woman, and I love who I am, and I love how I look, and that\u2019s just not my thing,” Williams said. “And if people do it that\u2019s their thing and they have every opportunity and they should.”<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t judge, but you guys do,” she continued. “But that’s what this world is about and I stay in my lane, the non-judgy one. But no, I actually don\u2019t bleach my skin, so can we just kinda clear that up?”<\/p>\n

While Williams is clearing up rumors, the 23-time Grand Slam champion is off to putting fitness at the forefront of her life again.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve gotten obsessed, more obsessed with diet and exercise<\/a>, I think, than when I was playing tennis,\u201d Williams tells PEOPLE. \u201cI knew that I was going to burn 20,000 calories a day, and now I’m like, \u2018Oh my god, I don’t know how many calories I’m going to be able to burn!\u2019”<\/p>\n

Williams announced her retirement<\/a> from tennis after 26 years, she still has new goals she wants to hit.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at me,\u201d Williams tells the publication. \u201cI’m trying to compete \u2014 not compete, rephrase \u2014 trying to do a half-marathon. That’s my new goal. So it’s just like I have to do something competitive. I miss tennis like crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continues, \u201cBut as a woman, I had to make different choices that I probably wouldn’t have had to make if I were a guy, but that’s okay, I love that. I love that I chose my family and I want to be around them every single day of my life. And I try to do that, and I just figure I want to be the GOAT at something else. And for me, that’s being a mom right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams shares two daughters — Alexis “Olympia” and Adira — with her husband Alexis Ohanian.<\/p>\n
