McKayla Maroney’s Provocative Easter Photos Go Viral

McKayla Maroney’s Provocative Easter Photos Go Viral

McKayla Maroney rose to worldwide superstardom in the early 2010s as a member of one of the most memorable women’s gymnastics teams of all time.

As a central figure in Team USA’s “Fierce Five” unit in 2012, Maroney walked away from those games with a gold medal in the team event and silver in the vault.

In the aftermath, thanks in no small part to her now-infamous scowl after capturing silver, Maroney began building up an internet following that has lasted her to this day. After retiring from gymnastics, she moved to capitalize on that following and become a prominent social media influencer.

These days, Maroney boasts more than 1.4 million followers on Instagram. Because of that any time she posts just about anything – it immediately goes viral. Her recent provocative Easter photos were no exception.

Maroney has made her racy holiday photos something of a regular thing. Her very scorching Valentine’s Day photo shoot also set the internet ablaze.

Beyond that, just her regular old, every day posts do massive numbers on Instagram when she publishes them:

And obviously that’s to say nothing of her shocking video from a few months ago which understandably went mega-viral.

Big picture, it’s not hard to see why Maroney has amassed such an impressive following online. She is a legitimate star, and more importantly, she knows how to put out content folks will respond to. In fact, her old gymnastics teammate Aly Raisman’s recent attempt at posting racy content really illustrate how far ahead of the game Maroney is.

Against all odds, Maroney has cemented her place in the larger sports and entertainment cultural zeitgeist even after her athletic career has ended.

Now she has a lucrative social media influencer career to look forward to.

What will she ultimately go viral for next? Time will tell.
