In the past, she has discussed her dislike of Logan Paul and has also been extremely humble about her title. She became even more well-liked on social media as a result of these opinions. The golfer has never shied away from seeming too harsh or provocative. She has more than 299 thousand subscribers to her YouTube channel. While her Instagram page flaunts 3.6 million followers. She has a variety of opinions on topics to share, she even recently opened up about body image to her followers.

Paige Spiranac was named the Sexiest Woman Alive

It all began in 2015 when Paige Spiranac won the 100th Colorado Women’s Golf Association Match Play Championship. In addition to the normal texts from friends and acquaintances, Paige Spiranac’s phone was exploding with congratulations as she and her mother celebrated the victory.

In 2022, the golfer turned influencer became the front cover for Maxim’s Hot 100 World’s Sexiest Women. The golfer who has never expected to take the first spot was suddenly a lot more popular. Naturally, her Instagram and YouTube pages skyrocketed in followers. This would lead the influencer to have a massive following that supports her opinions on topics. Whether they be controversial or not, Paige Spiranac now has the undeniable power of influencing entire masses of her followers with just a few words.

The influencer took the opportunity to talk about body shaming

She receives a lot of hateful messages on a daily basis
Paige Spiranac is an influencer who has built her brand around her body. Gaining such fame and success in such a short period of time, they are bound to be drawbacks. One such drawback is the haters that have started to comment on her body weight on her posts. Even though her body and beauty cross the line of having unrealistic standards, the influencer sought to give her opinion on body shaming.
“Whenever I just have this gut feeling that I need to say something, I do. I never overthink it, I never second-guess myself. With the body-shaming issue, I felt really sad and icky about it and I knew I had to say something and I’m so happy that I did.”

There have been women who have had to face this issue throughout their lives. These women have gone through mental stress and trauma due to the implications of having a body that does not meet the norm beauty standards. These are the same standards that Paige Spiranac has created with her title. The fact that she is one to express her views on this just goes to show that it is not the model who has created this mentality. It originates from the haters of such influencers who make their bodies their brand.

“So many men are struggling with body image and body insecurities, and it’s something that we don’t discuss enough and something that I wanted to bring light to.”
While bringing her thoughts out with good intentions, the influencer risks being seen as hypocritical. As she has admitted that her fitness plans were always to meet the goals of looking good, not feeling good. Although, she has recently stated that she has switched her mentality on that and plans to share her fitness journey with her followers, her taking a stance on body image after having such an unrealistic representation of herself may just come off as counter-intuitive.

The model was completely taken aback by the news when it first reached her. She has also stated how there are many other contenders that would fit the bill much better than her. She felt cheated by the title, feeling that Angelina Jolie is more deserving. The influencer never expected to be the “Sexiest Woman Alive“, let alone get such a massive following out of it.
“It’s so funny, my manager called me and she’s like, ‘You’re never going to believe this, but Maxim wants you to do the cover,’ and at first, it didn’t quite sink in, and then I called her back and I’m like, ‘Wait, does that mean I’m no.1, I made it?’ Even up to when we did the photo shoot when the magazine came out, I’m like, I’m still in disbelief that this actually happened. It’s such an honor and I still, to this day, I look at the magazine and I’m like, ‘That’s not me, I can’t believe this happened.’”

The golfer has always been one to keep in shape for her to “look good“. However, things have changed after a busload of comments called her “fat” in her recent Instagram posts. Even though the influencer has stated her disbelief about having such a title attached to her name, she still values her body for being in such a great condition.
