'Still to this day, the amount of messages that I get that are horrible and harassing about a previous relationship just really made up my mind that I was never going to publicly talk about that side of my life, friends or family, ever again.
'More for my mental well-being and my sanity. I am so vulnerable online, I share so much about myself and I'm very open and honest.
'I want to keep a little part of something to me and that is just what I've decided to do.
'People would assume that is because 'oh guys follow you and you don't want to lose your audience'.
'No. Really this is just to protect my sanity and I just never want to go through that again.
'If you never put anything online then you never owe anyone an explanation'.
Spiranac has become a viral sensation over the past few years and is now considered one of the biggest names in golf on social media.
Her incredible rise has seen her earn some rare opportunities too, including a cameo in Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2 movie.
Speaking on making an appearance in Adam Sandler's blockbuster movie, she said: 'It was one of the coolest experiences of my life.
'I got to shoot my scene with Adam Sandler and he is one of the most genuine, funny, kind, humble human beings.
'You forget that he is Adam Sandler. He just is so amazing … I can't say enough good things about him.
'And then the amount of people it takes to make this happen, it was really cool to see the behind the scenes and to see the final product.
'We were on set for hours and my scene – if you blink you'll miss it – so the amount of time and effort and care that goes into creating these movies that we all love, it was really, really cool to see.'

Camp Shame podcast review: Kelsey Snelling more culture documentary than true-crime investigation
No film has captured the unique corner of American culture occupied by fat camps like Heavyweights, released in 1995. Co-written by Judd Apatow – of The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Superbad fame – Heavyweights follows a rag-tag group of frankly average-sized kids on a mission to snatch their beloved camp from the clutches of a crazed fitness instructor played by Ben Stiller. According to director Steven Brill, who collaborated with Apatow on the Heavyweights screenplay, the fictional Camp Hope was inspired by the real Camp Shane – one of the longest-running weight-loss camps for kids and teens in the US. And according to revelations made in a new podcast series, some of the far-fetched antics depicted in the film may not have been too far off the mark. Camp Shame – a clever play on the camp's name – is hosted by journalist and former camp counsellor Kelsey Snelling. Her insider knowledge of the camp experience is the basis for an in-depth investigation into its complicated legacy. Across eight episodes, former 'Shaners' – the nickname bestowed on those who attended Camp Shane in its five decades – share the benefits and pitfalls of a camp built for them. On the one hand, it was an opportunity to enjoy a quintessential American summer experience away from schoolyard scrutiny. But, on the other, its commercial success was fertile ground for all manner of exploitation: financial, emotional and physical. 'These individuals recount experiences of being subjected to extreme diets, intense physical regimens and psychological tactics aimed at enforcing conformity to narrow beauty standards,' reads a press release on the iHeart website. The series is published within the iHeart True Crime channel, its logo prominently displayed on the show page on public streamers such as Apple Podcasts. I believe that sets a certain expectation about the content of the investigation – one that's never really met. Aside from a passing mention of grooming and some light fraud in the first half of the series, the really serious stuff isn't meaningfully addressed until Camp Shame's penultimate episode. In that episode, a former camper named Seth recalls his experience of allegedly being groomed and sexually assaulted at the camp during the 1980s. The six episodes it took to get there are fascinating and thorough, but I'm not convinced it's a cohesive true-crime narrative. As a genre, true crime already has to work harder than most to justify its existence – a hangover from the bad old days when stories were insensitively and sensationally told, our appetite for them insatiable, and when victims were barely given a second thought. We've come a long way since then and perhaps that's why the true-crime categorisation of Camp Shame feels disingenuous. Alleged victims such as Seth deserve to have their stories heard should they choose to tell them but what Camp Shame actually offers is a detailed exploration of the cultural forces that brought the camp and others like it into being. To that end, perhaps it would be more at home in the society and culture section of our podcast apps. Kristen Amiet is the producer of The Australian's daily news podcast The Front. Camp Shame is available now wherever you listen to podcasts.

Larsa Pippen blames ‘allergic reaction' for her shocking face transformation
Larsa Pippen shocked fans with a dramatic face change this week, but the Real Housewives of Miami star is blaming her puffed-up appearance on an 'allergic reaction.' 'Honey I had PRP and had an allergic reaction so chill out,' Pippen commented Friday in response to an Instagram post by Dr. Mai Kaga. A PRP treatment, or Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment, is a regenerative medicine technique that 'uses a patient's own blood platelets to promote healing and tissue repair,' according to experts. She also doubled down on her explanation on her Instagram Stories hours later saying her face 'looks like it's coming down' as she told her followers to 'calm down.' However, Kaga, an internist, had been speculating that Pippen, 51, went from looking 'naturally beautiful to noticeably overfilled' due to 'questionable' procedures. Many Bravo fans sided with the doctor and were not buying Pippen's explanation for her puffy face. 'So is she constantly having a reaction on Miami?!?' one netizen sarcastically asked via social media. 'This coming from the woman that denied having a bbl Miami's first season back,' another commented, referring to a storyline in Season 4 of RHOM. 'Wait … is she really trying to say she's allergic to her own platelets? That came from her own blood? Wild choice,' a third added. Pippen's comment also garnered a scathing response from Kaga, who wrote back to the reality star, 'Double board certified physician here AKA Honey.' 'Allergic reactions to PRP are extremely rare,' the doctor then explained. 'You simply will not find allergies to your own blood cells all that common. Second- allergic reactions don't last 3 seasons on a streaming network.' Kaga claimed the post really 'was not about Larsa, but about cautioning the current and future generations about being over treated and overfilled, unnecessarily and covering up your own natural features that make you uniquely beautiful,' doubling down on her theory that the OnlyFans star's appearance was due to her continued plastic procedures. 'If even one person can learn from us pointing out what being overfilled looks like, it's worth this weakass clap back,' the medical professional added. Pippen — who has undergone several transformations over the years — hasn't shied away from discussing her cosmetic work in the past. During the Season 4 reunion of RHOM, she admitted to having her nose, lips and breasts done. However, the Bravolebrity adamantly denied undergoing a Brazilian butt lift procedure, claiming to host Andy Cohen at the time, 'I literally work out seven days a week.'

Reality star needs surgery after ‘ripping' intimate area
A competitor on the UK celebrity version of SAS: Who Dares Wins has sustained a rare and painful injury after a stunt on the show went horribly wrong. X Factor singer Lucy Spraggon was left bleeding and in agonising pain on the notoriously hardcore reality show and now will have to undergo reconstructive surgery. The show pits celebrities against each other, testing their resilience in a condensed version of a SAS selection course and is run by an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers. Spraggon revealed the horrific extent of her injuries to The Sun, saying medics initially thought she had hurt her leg, but the reality was far worse. 'I ripped my labia - it was bad. That's not a common injury,' the 34-year-old said. 'Actually, genuinely, that's never been the same, so much so I'm having some surgery soon to correct it. 'I don't really know even what happened, I guess the harness was tight. 'I was like: 'This feels really bad. Surely there can't be anything.' And I looked and there was a tear, there was lots of blood and the doctor came over and I turned around because at that point you literally don't care about anything. Dignity has gone. It was like: 'Oh my God, I thought it was your leg.' And I was like: 'No, no, it's not!'' Despite the injuries, Lucy Spraggon has called being on the show a 'life goal'. Credit: Instagram / Instagram It wasn't the only time she was injured on the gruelling series. Spraggon said she also nearly knocked out one of her teeth, got a black eye and fainted. 'I had the filler under my eyes and when my face hit the sea so hard my filler migrated to the side of my face,' she said. 'By that point I was just in pain the filler didn't migrate back, when I got home I had to have it dissolved.' Despite the injuries, Spraggon has called being on the show a 'life goal'. 'I met some brilliantly brave and inspiring people and took part in things I never imagined I would get to do,' she wrote on Instagram. 'A truly unforgettable experience!'
