Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle speaks out about how internet comments trigger her insecurities
Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle spoke of how online comments affect her self-esteem every day. She is an influencer who posts engaging tennis-related content on social media.
While Riddle enjoys the perks of being a social media influencer, she also has to face some of the challenges that come with it. One of these challenges is dealing with unwelcome and invasive comments from strangers on the internet who feel entitled to judge her appearance and behavior.
Riddle recently received a message from an Instagram user who asked her why she always tilts her head while watching her boyfriend Fritz’s matches.
“Why do u always tilt your head while u are watching tailors matches?” the user wrote.
However, Riddle did not appreciate the question and felt that it was unnecessary and rude. She shared the message on her Instagram story and opened up about how seemingly innocuous comments like this trigger new insecurities for her on a daily basis.
“Every day the internet gives me something new to be insecure about,” she wrote.
Riddle’s post highlighted the pressure that influencers face to look and act perfect in front of their audience. It also showed how online comments can affect their mental health and self-confidence.
