What did Paige Spiranac say?

In the latest episode of her podcast, 'Playing a Round with Paige', the influencer got fully candid about why she has a controversial image. Giving her fans a sneak behind the curtain of her brand imaging, Spiranac said, “I think that the way that I dress does get me attention. And I have built my brand, my appearance, and my body.”

She continued, “And it does capture a lot of controversy at times which you do need to grow in this industry. But within golf, it is such a conservative industry.”

When Spiranac opened about Cyberbullying

The influencer has always been vociferous in her criticism of online bullying. As per reports, once Spiranac opened up about how she deals with haters.

She said, “I was always one to respond [to trolls], always quick to address the person immediately and head-on. Sometimes it worked for the better, and ended up becoming a friendship despite that initial meanness. But I don’t advise that now; I was more naive when I first spoke out against cyber-bullying."

She added, “The best thing you can do is ignore trolls or block them, or report them. If you do say something, always be 100 per cent nice, because what you say is going to be out there forever."

"Even if you delete a comment, it can always be found. So I always ask my fans and followers: ‘Who do you want to be? What you post can still be around 50 years from now, so think about what kind of person you want to portray," she said.
