There’s an unspoken and delicate physics to all celebrity relationships. When two stars agree to merge orbits, the combined gravity causes a media feedback loop that can spiral wildly out of control. See this article for details. But a sudden reorientation of mass can also be uncomfortable for the lesser star, who may want all planets revolving solely around them. “Wherever he’s around, we’re living in a fishbowl,” Vonn told The New York Times in 2013, clearly using her own metaphors. She continued, “I didn’t quite know what I was getting myself into. It’s weird. But it’s just something I have to deal with. He has his job, and I have mine. I just have to get used to it.” Yikes. That … doesn’t sound great. But wait, it gets worse.
“Some people seem to forget that I’m not just Tiger’s girlfriend. I’m actually a successful athlete. I’m Lindsey. I have my own career and my own life,” she told the outlet.
Clearly, the couple survived that dubious soundbite for a few more years. But after the dust had settled on their split, Vonn echoed a similar sentiment to E! News. “The breakup, being together, it was all really hard,” she said, adding, “Everyone’s looking at you and judging you and commenting on what they think is right or wrong.” And as it turns out, a lot was wrong.
