Serena Williams Has Not Yet Forgiven Sister’s Killer

Serena Williams has not yet forgiven the man who fatally shot half-sister Yetunde Price in 2003.

“No matter what, my sister is not coming back for good behavior,” the tennis champ told Time magazine of Robert Maxfield, who was released on parole earlier this year. “It’s unfair that she’ll never have an opportunity to hug me. But also … The Bible talks about forgiveness.”

Maxfield was convicted of killing Price, then 31, in a drive-by shooting in Compton, Calif., 15 years ago. He was released on parole for good behavior, according to the Daily Mail.

Williams, 36, discovered he was going to be released 10 minutes prior to her match against Johanna Konta in San Jose, where she suffered the worst loss of her career.

“I couldn’t shake it out of my mind,” Williams said. “It was hard because all I think about is her kids, and what they meant to me. And how much I love them.”

As for forgiving Maxfield, she isn’t there yet.

“I would like to practice what I preach, and teach [daughter] Olympia that as well. I want to forgive. I have to get there. I’ll be there,” Williams said.

Williams, who is continuing to find a balance with work and motherhood, also spoke of clashing with coach Patrick Mouratoglou over breastfeeding her only child.

“It’s absolutely hard to take from a guy,” she explained. “He’s not a woman, he doesn’t understand that connection, that the best time of the day for me was when I tried to feed her. I’ve spent my whole life making everyone happy, just servicing it seems like everyone. And this is something I wanted to do.”

Williams welcomed Alexis Olympia with husband Alexis Ohanian last summer.
