Halle Bailey, the star actress of the new hit movie "The Little Mermaid", revealed on Instagram that Serena Williams slid into her messages to "say hi." Alexis Ohanian commented on Bailey's confession by pointing out that the Ohanian family loved her movie, especially Olympia.

"I was dying at the interaction and I didn’t know what to say! She’s an amazing sister. And I connect with her relationship with Venus and their amazing sister duo. My sister and I look up to her and her sister so much,” says the star of Disney's “The Little Mermaid”.

"My advice? Always send a DM. It might just get seen."

What did Serena Williams text Bailey

In the video, Halle Bailey says that the first message she got from Serena went something like this: "I'm really proud of you, keep going!" Bailey also revealed that she got Serena's number but has been so far too shy to reach out.

According to IMDB, "The Little Mermaid" is about "a young mermaid makes a deal with a sea witch to trade her beautiful voice for human legs so she can discover the world above water and impress a prince." The movie, per The Guardian's reporting, has been negatively voted by an army of bots aimed at bringing down the film's IMDB score.

[The site’s] “rating mechanism has detected unusual voting activity on this title. To preserve the reliability of our rating system, an alternate weighting calculation has been applied," IMDB wrote as quoted by The Guardian.
