Williams later issued a statement implying that the comments were &ldquo;what I supposedly said.&rdquo;u00a0&ldquo;What happened in Steubenville was a real shock for me. I was deeply saddened. <img alt="Serena Williams" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jun/Serena-Williams_2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 633px;" /> Serena Williams I am currently reaching out to the girl&rsquo;s family to let her know that I am deeply sorry for what was written in the Rolling Stone article. What was written &mdash; what I supposedly said &mdash; is insensitive and hurtful, and I by no means would say or insinuate that she was at all to blame.&rdquo; Wiliams made the comments about the Steubenville (Ohio) rape case where two high school football players sexually abused a drunk girl at a party in August last year.

Defending Wimbledon champion Serena Williams courted controversy yesterday by reportedly saying in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine that a 16-year-old gang-rape victim "shouldn't have put herself in that position".
