Tennis player Tennys Sandgren — yes, that’s his real name — is in some hot water.
ICYMI, Sandgren’s troubled Twitter history came to light at this year’s Australian Open — and now Serena Williams is urging him to apologize!

The athlete recently deleted his entire page after tweets where he interacted with alt-right personalities resurfaced. Some of his content included his belief that Hillary Clinton participated in a Satanic ritual, how entering a gay club made his eyes “bleed,” and even a photo from 2015 of Williams he captioned, “Disgusting…”
BYE.
Anyway, earlier this week the new momma urged Sandgren to apologize for his stupid AF comments, saying:
@TennysSandgren I don’t need or want one. But there is a entire group of people that deserves an apology. I cant look at my daughter and tell her I sat back and was quiet. No! she will know how to stand up for herself and others- through my example. ├ó┼ô┼á├░┼╕┬Å┬┐ pic.twitter.com/im2NhoMdN4

Yas.
And he’s listening (kinda), and he shared the following day:
In regards to the gay club tweet from 2012, I used poor and harsh words to describe a bad experience, and is not indicative of how I feel about the people in that community. To everyone I offended with that, pls accept my apology
