Venus and Serena Williams' estranged half-sister Sabrina Williams to write a tell-all book
While Venus and Serena Williams' father Richard was a dutiful parent to them, he ended up neglecting his children from his first marriage. In a recent interview, Sabrina Williams, one of Richard's children from his previous marriage, stated that she's set to write a tell-all book about her life.
The book is also expected to detail how Richard Williams abandoned her and her family. Sabrina revealed that she has already written a few pages on it and aims to complete it by June following which she will look for a publisher.
"I have 30 pages already written of the book, there's nothing that's going to stop me now. I'm hoping that I can get it all written by June of next year and be able to find a publisher and get it done."

The movie "King Richard," which released last month, has portrayed Richard Williams in a positive light, though Sabrina's experience with him was different. She revealed that she is scared to watch it because it could make her angry or sad and she doesn't want to relive the trauma of her past.
"I dare anybody to come up and tell me that I'm taking the light away from this movie when, all I’m trying to do, is find good from a deadbeat dad. There's a part of me scared to watch it because it may make me angry, upset or sad. To be truthful, I don't want to re-live what's been happening for the last 40 years and see it flashing on the screen, even if it's just for a second."
Sabrina Williams feels she has been tormented enough already so there's no point in going through it again. On a lighter note, she joked that she's too cheap to spend money on the movie.
"I've already been tormented in my mind. It's now just time for me to keep moving. I don't need to entertain it. Besides, I'm too cheap, I'm not spending money on that movie."
Serena Williams to miss the 2022 Australian Open
Serena Williams still hasn't recovered from the injury that has sidelined her since Wimbledon, and as such has withdrawn from the upcoming Australian Open.
The American started the 2021 season on a strong note as she reached back-to-back semifinals at the WTA 500 event in Melbourne and the Australian Open. She bounced back from a couple of early losses during the clay season by reaching the fourth round at Roland Garros before falling to Elena Rybakina. Serena Williams ended her season following her injury at Wimbledon.
“Melbourne is one of my favourite cities to visit and I look forward to playing at the AO every year. I will miss seeing the fans, but am excited to return and compete at my highest level," said Serena Williams.
