Anyone who knows the social media queen well, will never want to cross her in any way possible. She has proved that many times, by taking a stand for herself. Spiranac has over 3.7 million followers on Instagram alone, and her online presence matters.

In 2021, a TV commentator had the guts to comment on Spiranac, and was not dignified. She could not believe how he posted a picture of her and captioned it poorly, calling it garbage. Let’s find out what happened.

The bold and fierce Spiranac lost her cool when a commercial was taking rounds on the internet, but for the wrong reasons.

It did not stop there; she called him out online and gave him the title of “coward.” The commentator did not tag her in his ‘garbage’ Twitter post. He captioned the picture, “At a time when the objectification and abuse of women, reducing them to being little more than playthings for men, is being exposed for what it is, how can @theage run garbage like this for revenue?” He later went on to delete the Tweet.

The Aussie reporter questioned why the newspaper decided to run the ad. As a result, Spiranac lashed out at him, and tweeted, “f**k off.” She also challenged him to tag her in the post and not be a coward. She tweeted, “Tag me next time, you coward. My name is right there.”

What followed the entire drama was even more badass!

One of the golf fans objected to her take on the matter. According to him, she was putting herself out there. Therefore, she had no right to blame others. The fan wrote that she wants to be treated with respect and taken seriously, but all she does is show her ‘ca**.’

The former pro golfer gave a fitting reply. She said she was born with t**s, and she won’t hide them just because people’s pea-sized brains can’t comprehend that a woman can be intelligent, strong, and sexy.
