'We talk the difficulties of her return to tennis after the birth of [her son] Alexis. How she's had to work to accept her body. Her friendship with Meghan Markle,' Lisa wrote, before addressing Serena's recent controversy.

'The US Open meltdown. And that was when things got a little... sticky,' she added.

Lisa explained things were awkward ahead of the sit-down interview in New York as they waited for the cameras to start rolling.

Serena got into a shouting match with umpire Carlos Ramos during the US Open women's final as she accused him of 'stealing a point from her'.

Ramos issued a game penalty to the American star during her match against Naomi Osaka, accusing her of getting coaching from the sidelines.

The 23-time Grand Slam winner screamed: 'Every time I play here, I have problems. I did not have coaching, I don't cheat. You need to make an announcement. I have a daughter and I stand for what's right. You owe me an apology.'

'For you to attack my character is wrong. You owe me an apology. You will never be on a court with me as long as you live. You are the liar. You owe me an apology. Say it. Say you're sorry,' she added.

'How dare you insinuate that I was cheating? You stole a point from me. You're a thief too. '

Moments later Williams crashed out of the final with Osaka winning 6-2, 6-4. 

Fighting for what she believes in: The 23-time Grand Slam winner screamed: 'Every time I play here, I have problems. I did not have coaching, I don't cheat. You need to make an announcement. I have a daughter and I stand for what's right. You owe me an apology'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
