Serena Williams’ 5-Year-Old Is Embarrassed by Dad Alexis Ohanian – and She Knows

Dear Moms, Dads and Caregivers Around the World,

We have some sad news.No matter how many times you look in the mirror and repeat to yourself, “I’m not an ordinary mom, I’m a cool mom,” you will End up embarrassing your child. They will cringe. and sigh. And pretend they don’t know you. And feel so dramatically humiliated over seemingly trivial things.Amy Poehler May Make Being Cool Look Easy mean girlsBut the truth is, not all parents can pull off a Juicy tracksuit like she does.

What do you do when you can’t do it? dog you do?

Well you can try Be cool.and try To prevent the child from looking away in horror. But when we see Serena Williams’ daughter Olympia Ohanian being humiliated by her father, we can’t find the courage in our hearts to stand up for him. Alexis Ohanian had absolutely the best intentions when he agreed to help out at his 5-year-old’s dance performance, but the execution…

it’s painful.

The Reddit co-founder shared a mirror selfie on Instagram, showing him cheering for the camera while Olympia angrily stomps away with her arms crossed and a visible pout on her face. why is it like this? Because her dad was wearing Crocs and socks. Crocs. and. sock.

no!While Crocs are definitely making a comeback, this is just different When your dad wears them. Publicly; in public! And socks!

We felt the cringe secondhand.

“They asked mom and dad to volunteer for Jr.’s ballet recital, and she got mad that I showed up to the first rehearsal dressed like this because, ‘Dad, this isn’t serious.'” The Crocs went to rehearsal, and don’t worry— Even though us dads all wear jeans,” the father of two wrote in his post.

Jeans may not be great for gyrations, but they’re less emotionally painful than your dad wearing Crocs, shorts, and a muscle tank top. Commenters certainly agree.

“She said: Ballet. 🩰 Not the beach, Dad. 🌊”

“Embarrassing her already!!! Awesome!!! She still has a long way to go!!! 😂😂😂”

“I wonder if dad understands the homework😂⚘️”

“This is the world of @olympiaohanians and we are so lucky to live in it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🫶🏾,” Olympian Lauren Gibbs said.

“I stand with her,” MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle commented.

Same! Ohanian, it’s hard to recover from this. Not only did it hurt him physically to see it, but it was also emotionally draining after last week’s big win. He shared a video saying he would ask his daughter a question or two before going on TV, and that he would try to incorporate that into the interview “to let her know I’m thinking of her.”

He then shared a clip from the CNBC show in which he knitted “ice cream tacos” at the request of his young daughter. It’s a “top dad job,” as many have said, and now we can’t wait for his next interview so he can (hopefully!) redeem himself with his eldest daughter.
