@Friendly Freddy stop the bs. What that hell does that have to do with her comment. A rapist is a rapist who gives a damn if they're republican or democrat.
@Friendly Freddy most right wingers called her a coward for taking time out for mental health less than a couple of weeks ago? Why there’s lot of predators on both sides, and you think if we had a republican up there it would be better?
It didn't help that they interviewed her about the abuse at the Olympics! I knew that was why she pulled out until the end! She was alone & didn't know who she could trust.
That's something you should reflect on because regardless of the reason she should have been trusted and supported to make whatever decision she wanted to make. This comment is also especially rude to anyone with ADHD, every person you know who has ADHD has wished they'd had the opportunity to do what she did and say I just can't do it. But clearly until you know that they're facing a Senate trial, you do not trust what they've been telling you. Some self-reflection should be done

Bless these women for having the courage to speak truth to power, by holding the FBI accountable. We empathize with them for the pain and sorrow they have had to endure. Thanks, for shining the light on a very dark experience. Many lives will be touched for the good. Blessings 🕊
The only power here is truth itself. Listen also to McKayla Maroney, to realize how not ony this man,but EVERY man handling the FBI information, was complicit. I am male, with past invoolvement in apex levels of young physical skills, with both sexes participating..I could ont IMAGINE that anyone so distorted as Nassar could ever have been countenanced for a moment, without discuiion among the affected, and IMMEDIATE sequestration of the man. We have now seen YEARS of women seeking exposure, of Trump,, Kavanaugh, and others. Instead of the society mandating civil behavior and protection of the young, all we have gotten was further abuse of the victims. That Nassar is not executed is only a legal oddity. That Trump, Kavanaugh and others escaping social constraints on behavior , atrocious.
Yep the FBI needs to be held accountable for a lot of their cover-ups and lies. What about Hunter Biden he was caught red-handed on video with underage girls doing drugs but the FBI doesn't investigate that now do they? This whole situation with the FBI and their corruption and their underhandedness and their political bias has got stop. The FBI was being persuaded by the Olympic presidents a world nation organization to try to keep things low tone. This whole thing is sickening. We live in a corrupt immoral world anymore and no one is trying to fix it everyone is just trying to tear each other apart. And it's like the politicians love it and they want to continue the drama.
As more and more sexual abuse cases come out there will be men who will say, "I'm not like them so don't condemn me for what they did!" Maybe, but do you also cheer on a friend who gives a girl an unwanted kiss, or egg on a friend to ask a woman out, and to keep asking her out, even if she's not interested. I haven't been abused but I had to change addresses & drop friends to get away from a guy who wouldn't take no, while his friends kept telling me to relent. All women have endured similar. Have men?
@greg miller She wasn't even talking about rape/sexual assault. She's talking about men who encourage other men to not take no for an answer and pressure women into saying yes. Take your straw man and go please.
Hi Garry, I wish your comment was true, however piers morgan is not a deeply thoughtful nor remotely compassionate human. (i’m trying very hard to be as polite as possible; i’d love to cuss him out, but then i’d be lowering myself & anyone who reads this) individuals like him (& there are far too many in our world) will twist any & all narratives to fit their narcissistic & deeply delusional minds.
Really disappointing to read that about Piers Morgan. What an incredibly low thing to do, imo. Wonder what he’s thinking now that she’s won more Olympic medals! (2024)
Thank you brave Ladies for raising your voices in defense of those with no voice. Law enforcement and the justice system need to stop ignoring women reporting rape and abuse.
The FBI and the individuals responsible must be accountable for their actions...Not just to be removed or fired. They must be charged like everyone else who's violated or committed a crime...
This breaks my heart 😥😥😥. These poor young people had to endure this abuse by an adult and all the people who knew he was doing this and did nothing about it. I pray for healing and hope they are getting counseling.
@Friendly Freddy child sexual abuse is NOT POLITICAL you sh!t head! I don't care if these BRAVE women are Red or Blue. THEY ARE STRONGER THAN YOU WILL EVER BE

@@TriciaRP Because it was a conspiracy and the FBI was involved and so was Gymnastics USA and others as well. We have been conditioned to think that powerful people would never plan crimes together. As if only street thugs and gangsters plan crimes involving more than one person. Of course powerful people take advantage of their situation to plan crimes together. Many girls were abused by coaches as well as by Nassar. Abuse was part and parcel of girls gymnastics and make no doubt it was girls gymnastics not women's gymnastics like it should have been. We shouldn't be sacrificing our children on the Olympic alter. Metals just aren't worth it.
It’s amazing how entitled the majority of America is now. Unless you’re a well off white male, you’re a victim. What a crappy mindset to push, especially on our kids.

My question is: Why in hell's high waters there wasn't a female nurse with each female sports participate? This IS A MUST EVEN IN GENERAL MEDICAL OCCURRANCES! WE even demanded a female nurse be with women/girls who are in medical offices for breast cares or exams. I'm appalled that female sports contenders are not treated with the same precautionary respect. This should fall on the Olympic administration personnel responsibility. It's their failure of rendering responsible behavior in care for their athletes.
Because in 2021 males can identify as girls so it don't matter if they had a flame nurse someone would be offended... because of our new and improved government assisted upbringing
When you cry because of a memory it's because it still hurts so badly😢 . I hope she finds peace and heals from this. So sad how some humans function. Love you Simone. Yes. Enough is enough!
Senator Booker was the first one to say we know you came here for us to ACT not just say nice things. I sure hope he leads the charge to actually DO something about it.
@@kiteracer2497 the truth is what each individual chooses to believe .. you know this. My truth is I don’t give a damn about Simone and her privileged life.
I'm not shocked this was covered up for so many years. I'm a former gymnast and it's a very abusive setting for young girls. I developed an eating disorder and suicidal thoughts because of the verbal abuse and threats by my coaches. The government shut this up for as long as they could... For medals and glory. Sick fucks.
This is heartbreaking, Simone and 00's of others must have justice in the fact that there must be accountability and the rot in the system must be exposed and purged
what you think will happen to him now, it looked like the whole world was watching, if I were him, I'd be scared to death, like the feeling of falling into shark infested waters in the middle of the night 🦈🙀💀
Indifference to other’s suffering and abuse is inexcusable. Those that “turned a blind eye”, should be prosecuted. They enabled the abuser to continue to abuse.
We're talking about Larry nassar here stay on target. Let's focus up. that's another post altogether you should probably go to some kind of a political post.
What a reality, huh? We'll go to war for twenty years with people who've never even set foot in this country while allowing these scumbags in the US to do whatever they wish.
Vance has been bashing her for not going to the Olympics. He's literally bullying a victim of child abuse. There are videos of him complaining about her needing healing time. What a POS.
Her gifts and talent have already brought so much to the world. One thing that makes me respect her even more is that she is open about mental health and normalizing getting help. Also for her to step up and speak out about this shows how strong she is. This isn’t just about her but all the women that is going to come in behind her and that speaks volumes!
Simone, If you pull through this with your strength, the world can know that this too won’t break a person. You are the proof that we all have enough strength to push through
Please do not minimize the impact abuse like this has….you’re giving perpetrators the green light because “ah, they’ll deal with it”. No, absolutely not.
I just want to hug all these brave young women. They are our sports hero, we applauded, rooted, cheered them on as they performed, while internally carrying the weight of being sexually abused. We failed them...miserably. Stop settling for just locking the monster up, get those who enabled and protected the monster...it all has to be brought down to begin to heal.
These FBI agents must be tried at the court. Everyone must be treated equally in front of the law. Just because you work at FBI - should mean NOTHING in front of the law. Any FBI authorities who refused to initiate the process against their own agents MUST be tried at the court as well. MUST!
After physical bullying I developed severe anger issues, for the next 3 years of my life I kept fighting against myself in my head that I was eating shit during every meal. While eating tomato or chilli sauce I fought against myself in my head that I was eating menstrual period blood. During EVERY single second of those 3 years I also kept fighting against myself in my head that the bullies were sodomizing me and my family members. As a result I severely couldn't concentrate during exams and classes. I am still having self esteem issues 14 years on from the incident. I went to army and didn't do some admin work due to fighting myself in my head and army people thought I was lazy and thus bullied me as well. This is why I have zero sympathies and zero tolerance for bullies. I am 31 years old and don't even have a wife now, partly sabotaged due to bullying. I have also missed out on $260,000++ of opportunity cost in earnings from jobs. I went to teach the bullies a lesson by cyberbullying/harassing them online, the bullies were so "strong" until they went to call the police LOL, but like I mentioned above, I have zero regrets :)
Simone, McKayla, Aly, and you strong young women - You persevere though you were utterly failed. You show strength and leadership while the leadership charged in your protection used their power to try to subvert you. You field obscene charges from misogynistic abusers while maintaining hope and light for millions of young people who are being subjected *right now* to gaslighting of their own abuse. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. We don't need "thoughts and prayers". We need and are demanding ACTION AND ACCOUNTABILITY - This includes monitoring, listening to young and vulnerable people about their experiences and concerns, and holding abusers to account with appropriate timing and action (swiftly and to the fullest extent of the law).
There are no words to begin to describe the horror that these souls have suffered not once by Nassar but then again by the FBI agents !! Nassar has been sentenced , now it is long overdue for the rest of these bastards to be served their justice !! I pray for each one of these victims that they are able to have some sort of happiness in their lives !!
This young woman is a hero for all the children that should have been protected Shame on the FBI that didn't believe her All involved should be Fired immediately !!!!
Simone gets another Gold. What courage it takes to buck the system and speak even more loudly from her place as an elite athlete who was so horribly abused. Cruelty in all forms is disgusting. We should be better than this, as human beings.
She's right, she & all these girls will carry this abuse with them forever. At least her abuser is in prison where he belongs. Mine got away with it all his life by lying! That never goes away, knowing he abused other children after me because his pastor believed his lies. I have to carry that with me as well.

We are angry that kids were not protected and it continued. We are enraged that this continued just like Penn State, Ohio state continued. Continued to protect pedaphiles. So many people helped cover it all up.

So proud of you and your teammates for bringing this to light and speaking out about young females being sexually abused. It takes great courage.

Now I see why Simone couldn’t focus at the Olympics and couldn’t compete. She knew this case was coming up. 😢
It didn't help that they interviewed her about the abuse at the Olympics! I knew that was why she pulled out until the end! She was alone & didn't know who she could trust.
That's something you should reflect on because regardless of the reason she should have been trusted and supported to make whatever decision she wanted to make. This comment is also especially rude to anyone with ADHD, every person you know who has ADHD has wished they'd had the opportunity to do what she did and say I just can't do it. But clearly until you know that they're facing a Senate trial, you do not trust what they've been telling you.

The only power here is truth itself. Listen also to McKayla Maroney, to realize how not ony this man,but EVERY man handling the FBI information, was complicit.
I am male, with past invoolvement in apex levels of young physical skills, with both sexes participating..I could ont IMAGINE that anyone so distorted as Nassar could ever have been countenanced for a moment, without discuiion among the affected, and IMMEDIATE sequestration of the man.
We have now seen YEARS of women seeking exposure, of Trump,, Kavanaugh, and others.
Instead of the society mandating civil behavior and protection of the young, all we have gotten was further abuse of the victims.
That Nassar is not executed is only a legal oddity. That Trump, Kavanaugh and others escaping social constraints on behavior , atrocious.
Yep the FBI needs to be held accountable for a lot of their cover-ups and lies. What about Hunter Biden he was caught red-handed on video with underage girls doing drugs but the FBI doesn't investigate that now do they? This whole situation with the FBI and their corruption and their underhandedness and their political bias has got stop. The FBI was being persuaded by the Olympic presidents a world nation organization to try to keep things low tone. This whole thing is sickening. We live in a corrupt immoral world anymore and no one is trying to fix it everyone is just trying to tear each other apart. And it's like the politicians love it and they want to continue the drama.
As more and more sexual abuse cases come out there will be men who will say, "I'm not like them so don't condemn me for what they did!" Maybe, but do you also cheer on a friend who gives a girl an unwanted kiss, or egg on a friend to ask a woman out, and to keep asking her out, even if she's not interested. I haven't been abused but I had to change addresses & drop friends to get away from a guy who wouldn't take no, while his friends kept telling me to relent. All women have endured similar. Have men?
@greg miller She wasn't even talking about rape/sexual assault. She's talking about men who encourage other men to not take no for an answer and pressure women into saying yes. Take your straw man and go please.

Many girls were abused by coaches as well as by Nassar. Abuse was part and parcel of girls gymnastics and make no doubt it was girls gymnastics not women's gymnastics like it should have been. We shouldn't be sacrificing our children on the Olympic alter. Metals just aren't worth it.
I’m sure these ladies also think about legions of other victims in our society, who have no voice at all. They are speaking for all victims also

My question is: Why in hell's high waters there wasn't a female nurse with each female sports participate? This IS A MUST EVEN IN GENERAL MEDICAL OCCURRANCES!
WE even demanded a female nurse be with women/girls who are in medical offices for breast cares or exams.
I'm appalled that female sports contenders are not treated with the same precautionary respect. This should fall on the Olympic administration personnel responsibility. It's their failure of rendering responsible behavior in care for their athletes.
Because in 2021 males can identify as girls so it don't matter if they had a flame nurse someone would be offended... because of our new and improved government assisted upbringing
There was a female trainer. She went to jail bc she too failed to report or protect them.
When you cry because of a memory it's because it still hurts so badly😢 . I hope she finds peace and heals from this. So sad how some humans function. Love you Simone. Yes. Enough is enough!
Sad, just so damn sad and sick😔
So, all these organizations did nothing, except collect their checks. And now the lack of action during the kavanaugh debacle.
As posted on other: When you hear someone that makes you vomit in your mouth, then I think it's enough gut feeling to take it serious...

Utterly disgusting how some people are bashing these young women. So much whataboutisms, gaslighting, comparisons of abuse, etc. just disgusting.
Her gifts and talent have already brought so much to the world. One thing that makes me respect her even more is that she is open about mental health and normalizing getting help. Also for her to step up and speak out about this shows how strong she is. This isn’t just about her but all the women that is going to come in behind her and that speaks volumes!
Simone,
If you pull through this with your strength, the world can know that this too won’t break a person.
You are the proof that we all have enough strength to push through
Please do not minimize the impact abuse like this has….you’re giving perpetrators the green light because “ah, they’ll deal with it”. No, absolutely not.
Shameful that it went on for as long as it did. It was truly courageous of these women to come forward and share their stories.
I just want to hug all these brave young women. They are our sports hero, we applauded, rooted, cheered them on as they performed, while internally carrying the weight of being sexually abused. We failed them...miserably. Stop settling for just locking the monster up, get those who enabled and protected the monster...it all has to be brought down to begin to heal.
ENOUGH!!! We are done with the sexual abuse and the constant negligence of those who let it continue. We will rise and heal!
Yes .. let’s get Hunter Biden
No little child should endure such abuse. Consequences should be swift and severe.
These FBI agents must be tried at the court. Everyone must be treated equally in front of the law. Just because you work at FBI - should mean NOTHING in front of the law. Any FBI authorities who refused to initiate the process against their own agents MUST be tried at the court as well. MUST!
So sorry 💔 this is a shame, enough is enough. I pray all be held accountable , why those that are in authority keep abusing their authority.
Tell that to Hunter Bidens victims
Very brave. A champion in every sense of the word.
How are you?
just don't let them catch her smoking weed.
After physical bullying I developed severe anger issues, for the next 3 years of my life I kept fighting against myself in my head that I was eating shit during every meal. While eating tomato or chilli sauce I fought against myself in my head that I was eating menstrual period blood. During EVERY single second of those 3 years I also kept fighting against myself in my head that the bullies were sodomizing me and my family members. As a result I severely couldn't concentrate during exams and classes.
I am still having self esteem issues 14 years on from the incident.
I went to army and didn't do some admin work due to fighting myself in my head and army people thought I was lazy and thus bullied me as well.
This is why I have zero sympathies and zero tolerance for bullies. I am 31 years old and don't even have a wife now, partly sabotaged due to bullying. I have also missed out on $260,000++ of opportunity cost in earnings from jobs. I went to teach the bullies a lesson by cyberbullying/harassing them online, the bullies were so "strong" until they went to call the police LOL, but like I mentioned above, I have zero regrets :)
There is absolutely NO excuse for this! Stunning!!
Simone you strong girl.
We praying for You Simone

Simone, McKayla, Aly, and you strong young women - You persevere though you were utterly failed. You show strength and leadership while the leadership charged in your protection used their power to try to subvert you.
