Genie Bouchard is one of the most recognizable women in tennis. The 25-year-old has a strong social media following with more than 2 million followers on Instagram, which leads to some negative noise from the online community.
But while Bouchard knows that success brings criticism, she wants people to remember that there is more to life than what she is posting on her online profiles.
“The most important thing to reiterate is that social media is what I choose to show everyone. It’s not an exact posting of my whole life. If people think I literally only do what I post then that’s absurd. Social media is a highlights reel, so for me I love posting different things,” she said, via The Telegraph.
“Who are the most famous people in the world? They have the most haters in the world. Kim Kardashian, Donald Trump. It’s part of life now so we have to accept it. You have to distance yourself from it and not take it too personally, and also realize that most of them would want to be in your spot.”
Keep doing you, Genie.
