How did Spiranac take a stand for herself?
Spiranac is beautiful, but she is much bolder and will never tolerate body shaming, and she proved that in one of her videos. Spiranac threw the first pitch at the Yankees-Brewers game in Milwaukee on September 16 this year. The video was not edited, nor did it have any filter.

The video went viral on social media. As a result, people bombarded the comments section with extremely body-shaming comments pertaining to her looks, figure, and cellulite visible in the video. To give fitting replies to all body-shamers, she made a video on YouTube, “Body Shaming & Life Online, Do I Deserve It?” and called out all the bullies.
