Williams was in the news over the summer after she was involved in a car crash that left one man dead and his wife severely injured. Williams was found at fault in the accident though police said she did not break the law.
“After the initial investigation was conducted, new evidence into the incident was located,” the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department said in July. “Based on the evidence obtained in the ongoing investigation, it has been determined the vehicle driven by Venus Williams lawfully entered the intersection on a circular green traffic signal.”
The tennis star spent this past week celebrating her sister, Serena Williams’, wedding to Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian. The couple tied the knot in front of several high-profile Hollywood hot shots including Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, tennis champion Carolina Wozniacki, Eva Longoria and Kelly Rowland at the New Orleans Contemporary Arts Centre.
