Jeanine Pirro directly blasted Serena Williams as “utterly ridiculous” after she called for a boycott of a New York hotel over cotton plant décor in the hallway. Pirro mocked: “You’re literally wearing cotton, and yet you feel offended?” — but what she said right after that is what truly set the public on fire…

Political commentator and former judge Jeanine Pirro is stirring controversy after labeling tennis legend Serena Williams “absolutely ridiculous” for calling out a New York hotel over its interior design.

Williams reportedly expressed discomfort with a pom-pom cotton decoration displayed in the hotel’s lobby, urging her followers to consider a boycott. She found the display culturally insensitive, sparking a heated debate online about symbolism, history, and aesthetics in public spaces.

Pirro didn’t hold back, blasting the tennis icon during a recent segment, questioning the seriousness of the complaint. “This is what we’re outraged about now? Pom-poms?” she allegedly said, rolling her eyes at the suggestion of a boycott.

While some are defending Serena’s stance as a valid personal reaction rooted in cultural history, others are siding with Pirro, accusing the star athlete of overreacting.

The incident has once again ignited conversations about race, sensitivity, and how public figures use their platforms — with both women standing firmly in their views.
