Golf influencer Paige Spiranac came to the defense of pop star Sabrina Carpenter after the singer came under fire on social media over her sexuality while keeping a mostly female audience.

Carpenter has made viral moments over the course of the year for doing sexual poses during her performance of the song "Juno" while on tour. One user on X pointed out how Carpenter is able to keep her base while wearing essentially lingerie during her sets.

Spiranac, who has also faced backlash for her attire while on the golf course, defended Carpenter.

"I dislike how women pick and choose when it’s okay to support other women for embracing their sexuality depending on if it appears to be for the female or male gaze," Spiranac wrote in a post on X. "Women should be able to embrace their sexuality if that’s what makes them feel empowered. 

"One shouldn’t be called a genius while the other is called an attention whore for doing the same exact thing."

Spiranac added that the problem was not about her.

"This isn’t really even about me. It’s a constant theme I keep seeing with other women too," she added.

The golfer has routinely fired back at negative comments about her appearance. 

Spiranac explained her attire choices in an interview with Sports Illustrated last year.
