I graduated with honors — trolls say my grad pics make me look ‘dumb as hell’
Her cheeky graduation pics have social media split.
In celebration of earning a degree from the University of Arizona this month, one freakishly flexible scholar tossed on a pair of see-through platform heels and a red thong to pose in an upside-down split on a stripper pole that she stationed on the main yard of the campus.
Responding to an explicitly-worded Twitter query about serving fierceness in “an academic way,” a redheaded recent grad, known online as Rachel Davenpole, tweeted, “Like this,” alongside frames from her NSFW photoshoot.
To the right of her eye-popping split pic was a shot of her swinging around the pole, fully clothed in a white midi dress beneath her cap and gown regalia.
The sexy snaps scored more than 6.7 million views from a divided Twitter audience, arguing over whether Rachel’s risqué display was fabulously fantastic or simply pornographic.
“Damn, best graduation pictures ever,” cheered an approving fan of the photos.
“This actually impressive as f–k,” wrote another supporter.
“This is beyond a flex,” tweeted a separate admirer.
But fault-finding critics cringed at the sight of Rachel’s presumed raunchiness.
The backlash was reminiscent of the virtual vitriol received by a Florida A&M student who posed nude in her graduation flicks last spring.
However, when a male high school posed in a bathrobe in honor of his 2019 graduation feat, he was virally dubbed a “legend.”
Conversely, online trolls feverishly slut-shamed Rachel.
“This is very whorish,” chided one antagonist.
“Degenerate!” exclaimed an equally perturbed Twitter user.
“You look dumb as hell,” said another detractor, adding the laughing emoji for emphasis.
In response to the flack, Rachel fired back, claiming: “Graduated Magna Cum Laude (3.8 GPA) and received over $40,000 in scholarships … let’s get u a mirror so we can see who this tweets about babes.”
On Instagram — where she also plastered her controversial stills — the bendy grad, who received a bachelor’s in public health, graciously thanked her family and friends for their support.
“Cheers to the future,” said Rachel in closing.
