The paper shared notes from Sonia and other women who dated athletes and how they had to navigate groupies and their partners' growing fame. Sonia said:

"The uncultured, unpasteurised groupies have zero sense of personal space and zero regard for your feelings and existence. However, the onus lies on the player to address this. Some don't because the attention boosts their egos and inflates their heads."

Mark Fish's ex-wife, Loui, said she understood why something like this could happen:

"Most super athletes come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Then they hit the big time overnight, and suddenly, life turns upside down. Nobody prepares you to deal with the fame, the money and the girls.
"Boys will be boys, and they drag each other to clubs, and all the groupies follow."
