“Completely False”: Wayne Gretzky’s Daughter Called Out ‘Older Generation’ for Linking Her Father to Twitter Break in 2012

Paulina Gretzky, the daughter of legendary NHL player Wayne Gretzky, deleted her Twitter account back in 2012. A then aspiring singer-actress-model, Paulina looked determined to carve out a niche path for herself. She wanted to do it without any help from her celebrity dad. But what made her delete her then-thriving Twitter account is what we are going to explore.

Born in a celebrity household, Paulina hardly lacked the basic necessities to start off in the glamour world. She is very close to her family and often follows her father’s advice on various aspects of her life. In 2012, Paulina deleted her Twitter account right after sharing a tweet that involved her father. Immediately after, rumors went abuzz about the latter’s contribution to the shutdown.

The moment Paulina Gretzky decided to delete her Twitter account

Paulina tweeted back then, “Having a nice sit-down dinner with my dad about social media… haha”. It was still unassuming for her 24,000 followers then, that this would be her penultimate tweet. She followed it up with her last, “Taking a break from Twitter for a bit”. This caught the attention of all media then.

With that many followers, the tabloids were quick to cover the news of her sudden departure from Twitter. They had connected her final tweets together and reported that her father had made her shut down the account. Rumors started to fly from there in different directions.

Paulina mostly used the platform to post her pictures in scantily clad dresses. As a very attractive young lady, this had helped her amass followers and foray into modeling. But it had a reverse impact, as all the news started pinpointing her revealing outfits, and made this the reason why her dad asked her to stop. Other rumors included her dad showing interest in buying the Toronto Maple Leafs and had stepped in to stop Paulina from using the platform for herself. His agent had since denied the rumors.

Paulina speaks the truth and quashes all rumors

Paulina had finally spoken on the matter and said, “The rumor that my dad made me shut down my Twitter account is completely false“, denying all such rumors since they were building up to a false narrative. She revealed the real reason behind it with a tinge of hurt in her comments as she said, “It’s hurtful when this older generation of people that don’t really understand me or take the time to get to know me trashes me”.

Paulina was addressing the constant backlash she had received for posting her pictures on Twitter. She believes as a young girl enjoying her life; she was put under extreme scrutiny for her clothes by older people. It took a toll on her mentally, as it could on any 22-year-old. Paulina has since been married to golfer Dustin Johnson and is blessed with 2 kids. With all rumors coming to rest, Paulina now enjoys a happy family life and continues to spend quality time with her mom and dad.

What Paulina went through then is something most young girls are still going through on a daily basis. The constant trolling and abuse of one’s outfit and looks is constantly a demotivating aspect of the social world for them. The media and tabloids don’t help much either.
