Paige Spiranac wept live on TV when she was being 'blackmailed' over stolen private property.

PAIGE SPIRANAC hit back at cruel social media trolls who mocked her for “crying all over TV” during her playing days.

The 29-year-old pro golfer turned social media star was quizzed by reporters on dealing with cyber bullies back in 2016.

Still playing professionally at the time, Spiranac said: “When you see the comments that people say, they’re extremely cruel.

“They attack not only me, but my parents, my family, my friends and they say I’m a disgrace to golf, and no one sees that.

“And I still get those comments and I still deal with it every day,” with Spiranac then breaking down in tears.

She has since been targeted on Twitter for the incident, which happened over five years ago.

A vile message said: “Don’t be mean to her. She will cry all over the tv about how people only talk about her boobs, while getting a playing exemption.”

Spiranac bravely hit back and revealed that at the time she was dealing with being “blackmailed over stolen private property”, while also receiving abuse online.

She responded: “Or maybe I cried because two minutes before I stepped on stage for the press conference I was being blackmailed over stolen private property and people were threatening my life.”

Meanwhile another troll criticised her for the way she dressed.

Again Spiranac responded, this time saying: “I like boobs. Specifically my boobs.”

She has since been named the ‘Sexiest Woman Alive’ by Maxim magazine.

Paige took to the red carpet in just a bra and see-through leggings at a party to celebrate the award.
