Alex Morgan Recalls Upsetting Fan Interaction After Her SI Swimsuit Photoshoot: “This Is Weird”

“I feel empowered.” That’s how Alex Morgan described her experience when she took part in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit photoshoot. Beyond her legendary status on the pitch, the retired USWNT star proved to be a true jack of all trades. While her feet brought her glory through dazzling performances, her stunning looks carved out a place for her in the modeling world as well. Yet, what should have been a proud career highlight ended up leading to one of the weirdest fan interactions she has ever experienced.

This surprising revelation came on the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, where host Alex Cooper asked Morgan about the double standards she faced: how much of her career conversations centered around her appearance rather than her game.

“Oh man, I mean, it was… I can’t complain. I got a lot of opportunities because of it,” she admitted before revealing the uncomfortable side. “But sometimes, it was really cringy. I would go on the internet and be like, ‘This is weird. This is really weird.’”

When asked if there were specific moments that stood out, Morgan recalled one in particular: “Well, I don’t know. It was like going to an autograph signing and just having a guy come up with all of my swimsuit pictures and being like, ‘Oh, I want to just add to the collection in my man cave.’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t care. Don’t don’t tell me what you’re doing with this, please. This is weird.'”
