Paige Spiranac tried to cover up.
The golf influencer, who’s known for her revealing outfits on the course and in her social media posts, recalled the time when she resorted to wearing turtlenecks and completely covering herself to combat hate comments.
“I wanted to be taken seriously as a professional golfer and no matter what I did, no matter what I posted, I would get hate,” Spiranac said during an appearance on Haley and Hanna Cavinder’s “Twin Talk” podcast with Betr Media on Wednesday.
“There was one time where I wore a full turtleneck [and] leggings. I was completely covered from head to toe, and people were upset with my outfit.”
In the clip posted on Instagram, a photo is shown of Spiranac wearing the black turtleneck and maroon leggings while on a golf course.
“When that happened, I just said, ‘OK, well I’m just going to do what I want to do, and I’m going wear what I want to wear and if people like it, great and if they dislike it, OK great,’” she said.
