‘I Wasn’t Prepared for What Happened’: Nelly Korda Finally Reveals the Truth Behind the Shocking Incident That Derailed Her Swimsuit Shoot

Nelly Korda is known for her composure on the golf course, but nothing could have prepared her for what unfolded during her recent swimsuit shoot — a day that was meant to celebrate confidence and glamour quickly spiraled into something she describes as “overwhelming, unprofessional, and completely unexpected.”
In a candid post to her followers, Korda revealed that the shoot was disrupted by a behind-the-scenes altercation involving a member of the production team, which left her feeling unsafe and completely blindsided.
“I wasn’t prepared for what happened that day,” Korda shared. “I came in trusting the team, expecting professionalism, and ended up in a situation that made me question everything.”
Though she didn’t disclose specific names, sources close to the shoot suggest tensions had been building all day — with wardrobe disagreements and creative direction clashing. The final straw reportedly came when boundaries were crossed, and Korda made the decision to leave the set.
The athlete’s unexpected departure sent shockwaves through the production, forcing a pause and prompting internal reviews. Korda’s camp later confirmed that she would no longer be working with the team involved and hinted that new partnerships will be announced soon.
“My comfort, safety, and values come first — no matter how glamorous the project looks on the outside,” she added.
Her statement has sparked a wave of support online, with fans applauding her for speaking out and standing her ground.
