Opening up about the daily challenges she faces after becoming a celebrated figure, Chloe said, “The biggest pressure in my life is being this perfect role model.”

Elucidating the matter, Kim added, “I’m scared to post pictures on social media because I’m like, ‘Oh is this the wrong thing to post? Is this gonna make people think that I’m crazy or that I’m not a good role model to kids? That I’m not PG?”

Why does Chloe Kim face this struggle?

It is because cultures sometimes overlap and what one culture deems appropriate may not be considered suitable by another. And even within a community, there may be differences in customs that could amount to a post being considered inappropriate.

It is a situation that most people have had to face at some point. However, the gravity of the matter increases manifold when the person in question is a celebrity, an Olympian at that.
