Serena Williams brought the heat at the annual sports award show held at the Dolby Theatre, taking a playful jab at NFL kicker Harrison Butker during the event.

While sharing the stage with her sister Venus Williams and presenter Quinta Brunson, Serena humorously called out Butker for his recent remarks, making for a light-hearted moment amidst the awards ceremony.

Venus Williams joined in on the fun, emphasizing the importance of women’s sports and playfully excluding Butker from the equation, stating, ‘We don’t need you,’ much to the amusement of the audience.

The cameras didn’t miss Butker’s presence at the event, although his reaction to the playful banter by the Williams sisters and Brunson remains unseen.

The light-hearted ribs didn’t end there, as Quinta Brunson, with a deadpan expression, humorously added, ‘At all. Like, ever,’ showcasing the comedic vibe of the evening.

Critics and supporters alike voiced their opinions on Butker’s remarks, with many pointing out the evolving roles and societal norms in the modern world, especially regarding women’s empowerment and freedom of choice.
