Maverick talked about how sometimes these trolls get to her, although she knows whether the things said are good or not and if she needs to take them seriously. She just knows what she was born to do, and her concentration is always towards that.

“Newsflash:I have a loving boyfriend who’s better looking than all you punks commenting vile shit. You’re probably too much of losers to ever get a girl playing keyboard warrior for some sick way of feeding their own insecurities.”
“I have amazing genetics, and I’m proud to have the muscle mass I do. If you think it’s ugly, quit looking at it.”
