While her fans thought this was appalling, the social media icon wasn’t fazed. This was because such messages weren’t an uncommon occurrence for her. Over the years, Spiranac has come to accept such messages as normal. She has become quite “desensitized” to them and once even spoke of how she came to realize that it wasn’t normal.

Paige Spiranac remains unfazed by vile messages

In December last year, on her podcast, ‘Playing a Round with Paige Renee,’ the ex-pro golfer opened up about not being affected by awful sexualizing DMs. She explained that earlier on Thursdays, she followed a ritual of posting the “craziest DMS” she had received and would crack up about them with her fans. Spiranac called the day “Thirsty Thursday.”

But her weekly ceremony lasted only about three weeks because the fans were feeling uneasy and “offended.” They thought it was “highly weird, creepy, and sexual.” She stopped posting them soon after. But it also made Maxim 2022’s Sexiest Woman Alive realize how the words had hardened her. “I’m so desensitized to, you know, these comments that happen every single day,” she said.
