«One thing that people don’t talk about being a woman in a male-dominated industry, whether it’s golf or the sports industry, is that every time I’m happy with another man, there are rumors and comments and everything. It’s disgusting sexual stuff,» Spiranac said in an Instagram Q&A on Monday, through the mail. «And I feel like it prohibits me from participating or being invited to certain events when there are male athletes and male celebrities because of the rumors and all that.
«It’s so unfair, and every time I’m photographed with another man…the comments are disgusting. It’s really frustrating because I feel like I can’t interact with people normally…I don’t want to start anything.» of those rumors to me or to them. I just wish people could be normal and realize that there could be a working relationship between men and women here and nothing else.»
