Gelson’s supermarket has removed “modesty sheets” from the cover of the August edition of Vanity Fair magazine. It showed a pregnant and naked Serena Williams. Management had covered it up after a “handful” of local people suggested the image would hurt children. Gelson’s uncovered it again after the issue flared on local television and national social media, where the supermarket was accused of treating the black tennis champion differently from white celebrities who have adopted the same magazine cover pose without being censored.
