RUSSIAN tennis ace Maria Sharapova has been berated online for posing with a US flag.
MARIA SHARAPOVA HAS HILARIOUS REACTION TO ON-COURT PROPOSAL
The 30-year-old beauty was snapped at the Broad Museum in Los Angeles in front of a painting of the stars and stripes.
Sharapova – who posed alongside her mum – uploaded the picture to Instagram and was immediately met with abuse.
She wrote: “Mama, daughter and a Jasper John’s Flag.”

Sharapova is now back playing professional tennis after a ban for taking banned drug meldonium.
