"Heavy on the 'I have nothing to prove,'" one person commented.

"'I had nothing to hide' was very loud, very 'Girl, don't ever play with me like that again,'" another quipped.

"I felt that," a third user responded, referring to Williams' "nothing to prove" declaration. "And it was directed to who it applied. Period."

A fourth person praised her, writing: "You see how she waited to make an official statement and didn't do the most? Very classy, very thoughtful, very much wife who doesn't have to prove a point to the world, very demure."

"This was definitely the girlfriend that he showed, always!! Yeah, put some respect on her name!!" another commented.

Another wrote, "Erica Banks, you SEE THIS!"
