Behind her glamorous life as a social media golf influencer lies a troubling downside to fame that Paige Spiranac is finally opening up about. In a candid podcast interview, Spiranac revealed the most disturbing part of being Instagram famous – unwanted romantic attachments from strangers.
With over 3 million Instagram followers fawning over her golf tutorials and alluring photos, Paige admitted she receives endless comments from men proclaiming their love and desire to date her. Many even become convinced they are in actual relationships with Paige.
As Paige revealed, “My team shows me some of the disturbing messages from guys who think we’re in love or in a relationship. They’ll say things like ‘I know you love me too’ or ‘When are we getting married?'”
While Paige tries to take such delusional obsession in stride, she confessed it has made her fearful at times, saying “It’s definitely scary when strangers think they know you intimately.”
Above all, Paige hopes sharing her struggles with social media’s dark side will make people realize she’s more than just an online fantasy. “Underneath the photos, I’m a real person with real emotions,” she reminded.
With grace and honesty, Paige Spiranac is shedding light on the troubling facade of fame, proving she’s more than just a pretty face on Instagram. Her brave vulnerability exposes a rarely-seen danger lurking behind the screen.
