Paige Spiranac Had to ‘File Restraining Orders’ to Crack Down on Imposters Scamming Fans Using Her Identity
What happens when millions of followers turn from admirers to potential threats? For golf personalities like Paige Spiranac, online fame comes with a shocking price tag. Yet behind this troubling reality lies an inspiring story of resilience and community building.
In a refreshingly honest conversation on the “Quiet Please!” podcast with Mel Reid and Kira Dixon, Spiranac pulled back the curtain on her digital life. She didn’t hold back while revealing both the beauty and danger of her online presence.
“The worst thing is… security threats,” Spiranac admitted candidly. “I have a lot of impersonating accounts, and that can lead to very scary situations of, you know, having file restraining orders.” These aren’t just hypothetical concerns. They’re her daily reality.
Court records actually confirm this troubling situation. Spiranac recently secured a three-year restraining order against a 32-year-old fan. The order requires this individual to stay at least 100 yards away from her at all times. This protective measure came after a frightening incident at a South Lake Tahoe tournament.
