Paige Spiranac says she is blocked from TikTok for posting content that was deemed too revealing. The former pro golfer wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Jan. 4: "I'm shadow banned on TikTok all because of some little innocent cleavage. Free the cleavage!"

She went on to post the video that caused TikTok to block her. In the clip, Spiranac is walking on a golf course and tosses and catches a ball. She's sporting a white mini dress with a deep plunging neckline.

"TikTok doesn’t approve of this video but I know X will #freethecleavage," she wrote.

The original video (which is still on the platform) also features audio of a woman saying, "How I love being a woman."

Spiranac touts 1.5 million followers on TikTok and is no stranger to posting risqué golf outfits.

She addressed criticism during an interview with Sports Illustrated and noted that she used to be a gymnast. "So when I switched into golf we were struggling a little bit financially. I didn't have the luxury to go out and buy a whole new golf appropriate wardrobe and so I wore what was in my closet which was workout clothes."

She added, "It really rubbed people the wrong way which is shocking. They'll have really intense discussions over if they should wear shorts or pants or a blade collar a real collar and I'm out here just in tank tops and Spandex. People are like 'What are you doing?' But I love it and I think we're starting to see that change. And fashion is such a big part of growing the game and it's moving in the right direction."
