Being a public figure has a tremendously ugly side and Paige Spiranac’s experience is a clear example of this. Currently, with 4 million followers on Instagram and more than 2 million on TikTok, she’s shared how she started her career and the harsh judgments she received along the way.
“What I produce is not that provocative. If my body makes someone uncomfortable, that’s not my problem. I’m not doing anything illegal. I’m not causing harm,” says Spiranac. She is often targeted with negative comments about her approach by many. How does she deal with it? Well, she ignores it!
Paige Spiranac’s advice on people’s opinions: Move on!
Being a social media sensation and one of golf’s top influencers, Spiranac engages in several activities to keep her engagement game on point. One such activity is hosting Q&A sessions with her followers on Instagram. Due to the recent outbursts of criticism she has been receiving, one of them asked her, “How do you deal with the constant attention and comments about your looks?”
Responding to this, she stated how she has been using both her assets—her glamour and her golfing niche—to build her brand. Fully aware of the strategy, she understands what will garner more views. However, she acknowledged that not everyone will like what she posts. She said, “I am self-aware, I know that when I post something online, I’m opening myself up to criticism.”
She further added that in the online sphere, people can rightly put forward their opinions, given it’s a platform for everyone. However, it’s not always necessary that everyone thinks alike. She has learned how to shield herself. “I’ve just grown to have some thick skin, brush it off and move on and post something the next day”, concluded Spiranac.
