Well... duh. You need to get on a plane and fly to Australia. Then she would be there... physically.

Of course she isn’t where she needs to be physically. She is too busy promoting her new movie and being in multiple commercials

Serena's a legend. She has nothing left to prove. She can just kick back & relax for the rest of her life at this point. GOAT

So she's not where she needs to be physically? So she's not in Australia then! LMAO

Getting old

Afraid to end up in a quarantine camp.
