In an interview during the 2013 FLARE Magazine Cover Shoot, Paulina revealed how, because of a rumor spread by the media, the whole internet saw her differently. It was harsh on her, as she didn’t even do anything wrong but suffered the consequences.
Wayne Gretzky had to take decisions:
The rumors in the media spread like a wildfire. It was about a Twitter picture that she posted a long time ago. Wayne Gretzky had to step in and shut down her account.
“I think that a couple of pictures sparked an interest. You know they acted as if I was doing frontal like nudity and that didn’t feel right. They completely lied and made up a story that was really false,” Paulina said in the interview. Long ago, she posted some pictures on Twitter that caught the eye of the public. Being the daughter of the Great One always puts her in the spotlight, even if she would do nothing.
It wasn’t hard for the media to just spread random rumors about her because of those pictures. She also was about to have a modeling career during the same time this incident took place. Making up stories regarding false information could have even led to her career getting blown up. This could have also made her family time worse.
Paulina is still figuring out a career:
Paulina Gretzky is currently married to the professional golfer Dustin Johnson. Despite having expertise in acting, modeling, brand endorsement, and others, she is still trying to figure out a fixed career for herself.

Being the first child of “The Great One” was never easy on her, as everyone had a lot of expectations, which made Paulina feel pressured. Despite not being a professional sportsperson like her father, she tends to become more like her mother, Janet Jones, who is a Hollywood actress.
