Mallory is an activist and uses her platform to spread awareness on topics that are important to her. In October 2017, she penned an op-ed forTime, titled “The Problem with Pink Sport Jerseys.”

“It is neither an issue with the color itself, nor with how suitable a color pink is for athletics or athletic gear,” she wrote of the jersey’s specific hue. “Rather, it’s a symptom of a larger problem: our narrow view of what we expect from girls who are interested in sports.”

She and Aaron Rodgers were friends before they briefly dated

Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers looks on during Game Five of the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2019 NBA Playoffs between the Toronto Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks at the Fiserv Forum on May 23, 2019 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Before dating Rodgers, Mallory made headlines with another notable name:Drake. But the reason had nothing to do with romance — in fact, it had everything to do with sports.

The rapper,a die-hard Toronto Raptors fan, haslined the courts of just as many basketball gamesas Mallory — so their commitment to their respective teams is intense. So much so that during Game Five of the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2019 NBA Playoffs, the two took their competitiveness out on each other.

Mallory sported a shirt with an image of the Pusha T — who’s had ahistory of feuds with Drakeand infamouslyreleased a 2018 diss track about himtitled"The Story of Adidon”— at the game, to whichDrake clapped back on social media.

The alleged “beef” between Mallory and Drake was cleared up during an interview with ESPN.“We’re not beefing, we’re good,“the model said in November 2019.

She founded her own production company

She talked about her passion for her new endeavor while talking toPrinceton Alumni Weeklyin June 2024.

“Doing anything creative is incredibly entrepreneurial. I wish we celebrated that more,” she said. “That it’s not only an OK thing to do with your Princeton education — who are the arbiters of that anyway? — but that it’s incredible and badass and should be celebrated.”
