Serena Williams’ latest GQ cover causes a stir

Serena Williams' GQ cover upsets social media 

It's been a whirlwind 2018 for Serena Williams. A few months back she had a very public outburst on the court with a ref, and then she went on to shoot a topless video in an attempt to raise awareness for breast cancer. 

And she's in the media again, only this time she's featured on a GQ cover and it has been met with controversy. 

The tennis star was featured on GQ's Men of the Year issue, dressed in a black bodysuit alongside Michael B. Jordan, Henry Golding, and Jonah Hill. Social media users are upset that the word 'Men' was scratched out and that 'Woman' of the Year was written instead. 

'They really put "Woman" in quotes in reference to Serena and no one at the table thought it was a bad idea. I'm speechless,' said @ChrisTheHuman on Twitter.

Channel24 reports that GQ's research manager has said that: "It was handwritten by Virgil Abloh of Off-White, who has styled everything in quotation marks as of late (see Serena's US Open apparel that he designed)".

If GQ was aiming for controversy around their latest issue, they sure got it first hand.
