The life of a celebrity is never easy. While getting the world’s attention whenever they speak is a good thing for their profession, the same has the power to break their life. Being a celebrity also means one can’t express the way he/she feels. Professional golfer and Tiger Woods’ niece, Cheyenne Woods, also has tried social platforms to raise her opinion about several topics. And it was not always welcomed by everyone.
“You’re going to get the backlash,” the 32-year-old revealed in a 2020 interview. “You’re going to get the comments and the negativity,” she added. “And it’s scary to put yourself out there.”
