Serena Williams was not able to be seated at Paris Restaurant for which she had no reservations and which had no empty available tables. What is a celebrity to do? Well go on X of course, blast the restaurant, and claim she's been denied entry at better places.

Am I wrong for thinking she comes across as an entitled cunt?

It's a shame that someone with her fame and money still expects more at the expense of others. If you look up humble or respectful in the dictionary I doubt you'll see her photo.
Bacon!
But there’s been a number of stories over the years where white PGA golfers never got a courtesy car for the week. So it’s really an entitlement issue not a race issue.
The restaurant worker says he “didn’t recognize her”. Who can blame him. Serena had so much surgery, Botox, fillers, injections, skin whitening - she’s going to look like the reincarnation of Mike.Jackson
To those concerned - IMO this is a neutral viewpoint of the incident.
And in this case the person involved was a server. There are numerous servers of a variety of races whom may have at some point in history discriminated against someone
The rooftop restaurant "Le Rooftop" mentioned by Serena Williams does NOT accept reservations. The management only requires a minimum consumption (food or beverage) of 60€ (about $65) per person to guarantee access to the Rooftop.
The empty tables belonging to the "L’Oiseau Blanc" restaurant do require a reservation AND a bank transfer prepayment to finalize the reservation of 100€ (about $110) for lunch or 200€ (about $220) for dinner, per guest, as a guarantee. Also, there is a "chic and elegant" dress code in effect for this restaurant.
Serena Williams didn't need a reservation because there are no reservations for the rooftop restaurant. She arrived when the restaurant was busy and was told to wait her turn. If they had recognized her (and she greased some palms) they probably would have moved her up to the head of the restaurant queue. She knew there were no reservations and was pissed they didn't recognize her so she could get preferential treatment.
Similarly, Kevin Bacin donned a fat suit and makeup to go out as an average guy in LA for a day. He said he was shocked at how much it sucked to wait in line at Starbucks, be unable to get seating at restaurants, be jostled, bumped, and pushed past on the street. At least he has the class to acknowledge his celebrity privilege.
If it was me I’d say “I’m gonna eat that!” And then they’d proceed to throw me out.

Most of you know that the Lion King is loosely based on my life. I grew up privileged but left that for some time to party with a meerkat and warthog. The musical actually distorts some of the shit I did with my buds, but that’s a good thing because you don’t want to see a frickin’ meerkat orgy.
Anyhoo, I digress.The point is that I grew up with all of the creatures of the world going all “ooo you’re so great Mr. King” and then I was just some weirdo hanging with a perverted meerkat. That experience taught me humility. Also taught me what the symptoms of meerkat chlamydia are. I mean….Timon had a coke-fueled party and I may have done things with the meerkat hookers…or the chlamydia developed spontaneously…can’t really remember anything.
Back to the bigger point. When I was a prince everybody was impressed by me but when I was poor the only way I could get a female meerkat to blow me was by promising her coke. Ultimately, I think Serena should have offered the maître d some coke for a table. That might have worked. ROAR!!!
