Serena Williams is pretty much a superhero when she dominates the tennis court, but now she is also a superhero. As she was having dinner with a friend, someone attempted to snatch her phone. It did not end well…for him.

Her superhero sense told her something was off

She shared the story on her Facebook page

 “Soooooo yesterday at dinner the CRAZIEST THING happened to me. I was sitting enjoying some Chinese food (delicious may I add) and this guy stands next to me.  It was only 2 of us sitting at a 4 person table just chatting like we have not seen each other in years. Anyways I digress, so this guy is standing next to me and something (I have now dubbed it my SUPERHERO sense) told me to watch him. My phone was sitting in the chair but I just didn’t feel right. He was there too long. “Is he a customer?” I thought “Is he waiting on the bathroom?” nonetheless I tried to shake his this eerie feeling. However, I kept watching him from the corner of my eye.”

The thief said he “grabbed the wrong phone”

Than when least expected low and behold this common petty thief grabbed my phone and swiftly left. I looked at the chair, than shouted “Omg that dude took my phone!!” Not thinking I reacted (hence the superwoman photo) I jumped up, weaved my way in and out of the cozy restaurant (leaping over a chair or two) and chased him down.  He began to run but I was too fast. (Those sprints came in handy) I was upon him in a flash!  In the most menacing yet calm no nonsense voice I could muster I kindly asked him if he ‘accidentally” took the wrong phone. He stumbled on his words probably not expecting this to happen. While he was thinking of the right thing to say and eventually he said “Gosh you know what I did! It was so confusing in there. I must have grabbed the wrong phone.’”

She encourages women to stand up for themselves 

“Superhero? Maybe? Or HELL YEA!! I’ve got the speed the jumps, the power, the body, the seduction, the sex appeal, the strength, the leadership and yet the calm to weather the storm. Always listen to your superhero inner voice. Always keep your things close! Fight for what’s right. Stand for what you believe in! Be a superhero!”

After the incident, she got back to her table and received a standing ovation. Don’t mess with Serena.
