Deadspin:
Paulina Gretzky, the 22-year-old daughter of The Great One, has closed her Twitter account. And it appears her father encouraged her to do so, at least according to this story in the Montreal Gazette:
“Having a nice sit down dinner with my dad about social media..haha,” Paulina Gretzky tweeted last week before closing her account.
Paulina apparently has done some modeling, acting, and singing, but she earned greater notoriety of late the new-fashioned way: by publicly posting party photos on the Internet. Her adventures caught the attention of The Chive a couple of weeks back, and the Toronto Star has speculated that her father encouraged her to knock it off because his name has been linked to a group that might buy the Maple Leafs.
I’m not saying she’s the hottest thing to walk the planet but c’mon! It’s the greatest hockey player of all times daughter. She jumps a few pegs just for that alone. I wonder how that convo went? “Sorry hunny, I’m trying to buy the Toronto Maple Leafs so I’m gonna need you to take down your semi-pornographic and whorish pictures from Twitter and get a job.”
