Smith\u2019s critiques of his marriage to Serena Williams"},"content":{"rendered":"

One thing Alexis Ohanian doesn\u2019t play about is his wife, Serena Williams.<\/p>\n

The Reddit co-founder and husband to the 23-time Grand Slam champion is no stranger to defending his wife in public, and he recently showed just how quick he is with the clap back. During an appearance on ESPN\u2019s \u201cFirst Take,\u201d Ohanian confronted Stephen A. Smith <\/a>for comments he made about his wife and marriage after her cameo in Kendrick Lamar\u2019s 2025 Super Bowl halftime performance.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cStephen A., I think you had some marriage advice for me,\u201d Ohanian teased, grinning at the camera. Smith, clearly not expecting the moment, chuckled nervously before backpedaling: \u201cHeadlines are headlines. We can get into that another time.\u201d<\/p>\n

It all started back in February after the tennis legend hit a crip walk during Lamar\u2019s performance of \u201cNot Like Us,\u201d a moment felt like an extra jab at Drake, Williams\u2019 ex, in the ongoing rap beef.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next day, Smith went on \u201cFirst Take\u201d and, instead of celebrating the moment, took a swipe at Williams and Ohanian.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m married and my wife is going to join trolling her ex, go back to his a\u2014. \u2019Cause clearly you don\u2019t belong with me. What you worried about him for and you\u2019re with me? Bye. Bye,\u201d Smith declared.<\/p>\n

At the time, Ohanian wasted no time showing his support for his wife, taking to X to share:<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty fantastic halftime show,\u201d he wrote making it clear he was all for the moment and going on to highlight the deeper significance, reminding folks that Williams was once criticized for those same dance moves on the tennis court.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of y\u2019all have no idea how criticized Serena was for this same dance at Wimbledon 13 years ago and it shows,\u201d he added. \u201cThis is bigger than the music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fast forward eight months later, and Ohanian was equally as ready to confront Smith in person.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was hoping you were going to be here,\u201d he said before Smith conceded, \u201cMarriage advice? No, I\u2019m not qualified.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when Ohanian delivered the kind of clapback you can only admire. \u201cI was gonna ask, cause, you hadn\u2019t been married before, right? Cause I give advice to plenty of founders who want to build billion-dollar companies. And the reason I do that is because I build billion-dollar companies, so I generally try to stay in my lane.\u201d<\/p>\n
