Spiranac tweeted, “Funny people are mad at JT for saying f*** but their kids are dancing to WAP on tiktok”. A song by Cardi B, WAP is popular for its vulgarity, which also has been used for a viral dance on TikTok. Though the influencer has defended the PGA Tour star for the usage of slur words, it wasn’t the first time.

Earlier this year, Thomas was criticized for using homophobic slurs at the Tournament of Champions. Spiranac slammed the golfer but then also urged the fans to not cancel him as he had already apologized. She said, “He should not be cancelled and I’m glad he apologised. But no one should ever defend the word he used”.

Not many can claim to be defended by Spiranac. But Justin Thomas has the support of the 29-year-old influencer. Moreover, Spiranac has also backed Thomas for staying loyal to the PGA Tour. Considering being known as a good guy on the Tour, it’s hard to hate Justin Thomas anyway.
