So I was going back to West Palm, apparently, she loves horses," Venus Williams said (6:20 - 9:00)"And she was like in Wellington, you know, in West Palm where there's a big horse community. I think she's in Colorado or Wyoming or something, I don't know. I haven't checked up on her lately, but I went over to her seat and I was like, oh my God, like I'm such a big fan," she added (6:20 - 9:00)Pam Grier is an American actress born on May 26, 1949.

The former World No. 1 found herself managing a rude passenger sitting beside the actress"I never go up to anyone, right? But I love her. And then there was a guy who came and he was like, this is my seat, you know, you're like in the way. So I went around to the front and I kept talking to her and he's like, someone might, you know, someone might be sitting there and I ignored him and I finished my conversation," Venus Williams said"And then when I was done, I looked at him, I said, Sir, I think you said something before. And if it was important, I didn't want to miss it. So like, dude, you don't know who you're messing with. Like, I'm always going to be nice. I'm never going to be nasty like you, but you're going to feel the pain," she addedWilliams revealed how her confrontation humbled the rude passenger. She also left the flight attendants in splits, who were troubled by the same person on the flight."And he was flabbergasted. He had no idea what to say. And I remember I went to the bathroom like later and the flight attendants were laughing. They were like, oh, we saw that guy was so mean and he was mean to us too. We're glad you got him. But like, anyway, that's my road warrior story.
