Former ESPN reporter questioned Paige Spiranac’s bold photo shoot

Following the release of the 2018 SI Swimsuit cover, Spiranac’s big moment was questioned by McHenry. The former ESPN reporter wrote, “Why does a woman have to pose nude to feel ’empowered’?” She further added how wearing more clothes and going to the office is much more empowering, before claiming that how Sports Illustrated is “desperately wanting to compete IG models with gimmicks”.

It only took Spiranac a few minutes to respond, as the SI cover model clapped back at Britt McHenry. “Different women feel empowered in different ways”, tweeted Spiranac. She further added how everyone has their own choice to wear or not wear whatever they like. “My body, my choice”, wrote the social media sensation at the end.

But, the former ESPN reporter had more words to share. Though McHenry agreed with Spiranac on doing whatever with your body, she still believed that “posing nude is a way to ascertain empowerment through vanity”. She further added that it’s her opinion on the controversial topic.

However, Paige Spiranac had her final say after sharing a photo of herself from the shoot, in which no clothes could be seen. She captioned it with a sarcastic message, “Thanks, I will”. Nonetheless, McHenry got personal in the final message to the former pro golfer.

However, two years later, the emotional moment was brought back to life by McHenry. “Ok, but you’ve literally cried at press conferences about how you’re not taken seriously in golf”, tweeted the ESPN reporter. Despite being a model herself, Britt McHenry claimed to never “entertain anything nude”.

Paige Spiranac didn’t respond to the reporter and moved on from the feud. However, that didn’t stop Spiranac from having bold photoshoots. She continued her shoots and was crowned Maxim’s Sexiest Woman Alive earlier this year. It would be intriguing to know what McHenry thought of this.
