Rolling Stone Writer Stands By Report of Serena Williams' Rape Comments

In a Rolling Stone profile, written by Stephen Rodrick, Serena Williams had some absolutely awful things to say about the 16-year-old rape victim from Steubenville, Ohio. Williams is now trying to backtrack, but Rodrick is standing by his story. If you haven’t read the Williams quotes already, get a load of this:

Do you think it was fair, what they got? They did something stupid, but I don’t know. I’m not blaming the girl, but if you’re a 16-year-old and you’re drunk like that, your parents should teach you: Don’t take drinks from other people.
