In Part 2 of our Legends of the Cue interview, Hall of Fame pool legend Jeanette “The Black Widow” Lee continues the deeply personal story of the turbulent years that shaped her long before she became a champion.
Jeanette opens up about running away from home, taking jobs while still a child, navigating difficult friendships and relationships, and developing the fierce independence that would later define her career. She also shares an extraordinary and emotional story about her grandfather — and a vivid childhood memory she later discovered could not have happened the way she remembered it.
With remarkable honesty, Jeanette reflects on family, trauma, rebellion, belonging, and the complicated path from Brooklyn to the Bronx High School of Science. There is humor, heartbreak, and plenty of classic Jeanette candor along the way.
This revealing chapter offers a rare look at the young woman behind The Black Widow before pool changed everything.
