When that relationship began, the trolls began trolling, she says.
During a YouTube Q&A session with her sister, Haley said she received negative comments about her looks when her relationship made the rounds.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I was in Forever 21 having a great day with my mom and Hanna, and I got this post. And I just started looking at the comments about my face," Cavinder said.
"I’m a confident girl, but when people are saying stuff about you — if you have a boyfriend and someone is talking about you online with your boyfriend … like coming at your features. I’m like, ‘This is new.' And, obviously, Jake is a great guy, but you don’t want to be called ugly on the internet 24/7 and your boyfriend sees it. That’s not going to make anyone feel cool. So, I had a mental breakdown."

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Cavinder, though, said Ferguson was there to support her, and she isn't afraid to boast about their relationship anymore.
"Honestly, I’m very confident and comfortable sharing my relationship because Jake was very loud about it. … He was always like that, so it made me feel very comfortable and confident sharing him as well. … He’s a big part of my life and will continue [to be], so it’s not something that I [want to] keep private. I go to Cowboys games, and he’ll be at my games."
Cavinder will return to the court next year with TCU after initially deciding to forgo her fifth year of eligibility.
