Fans launched into a tirade over Tommy Paul’s influencer girlfriend Paige Lorenze’s cringeworthy antics after his win at the Queen’s Club Championships.
After besting Lorenzo Musetti in the final, Lorenze broke the norm by joining her boyfriend on the court for a photo opportunity with the trophy.
A video of their awkward pictorial went viral as the influencer is seen repeatedly grabbing her boyfriend by the nape while Paul stood stiffly in front of the cameras.
Lorenze also appears to give a photographer instructions before the clip cuts off.
Fans were quick to cry foul on Lorenze’s apparent clout-chasing, which resulted in trolling the social media personality.
