Anna Kalinskaya and Jannik Sinner – why do we still blame the girlfriend?

What the online vitriol towards Anna Kalinskaya says about parasocial relationships and social norms

Tennis player Anna Kalinskaya recently became the target of online scrutiny due to her relationship with fellow athlete Jannik Sinner. This kind of backlash is far from unheard of. Famous women often find themselves at the center of parasocial-relationship-fuelled online debates because of their relationships with other celebrities. Yet this phenomenon exemplifies how, in a world obsessed with romance and dating, women in heterosexual relationships still can’t escape societal norms and expectations of how a girlfriend or wife “should” act.
