Cassady Taylor I cant believe they all climbed on his table to get molested while their parents were in the room that’s so crazy that he got away with that
Cassady Taylor , can you imagine how many actresses would be up there? Or Epstein victims? This is a powerful group because their sports are considered dignified and they usually well looked after by their parents who sacrifice hugely to get them to these competitive levels. So proud of them.
There were more girls. The total number of girls he abused wouldn’t be able to fit on that stage. The girls at the ESPYs are just the girls who publically came forward and testified at the trial. But there were loads more
I’m so happy you were able to report them. You are so so strong and beautiful. You did such a incredibly tough thing with so much courage, you are incredible!!!!! Please let us know if u need ANYTHING!! I am always here to talk!:))
It's shocking, isn't it ? The sheer number of women who stood up on that stage because of ONE paedophile is just heart-breaking. Really makes you wonder how many more POS like him exist in this world.
This comment section is tragic. Many of these women were abused as children and no one protected them. To arrive here in 2018 as functioning members of society and helping to prevent future abuse to kids is worthy of praise.
Many of these commenters know a man did something wrong. The fact is they treat women like objects in every comment section in almost all TH-cam videos. I was just shocked at how harsh they are being to sexual assault survivors.
Semi You Really Think They All Being Truthful. 1) Courage Isn't Waiting Years After The Fact, To Please A Narrative 2) Lieing About ACTS OF VOILENCE. 3) Ruining People Are Accusing Not Convictions But Accusations. 4) Women Aren't Empowering Themselves, Making Themselves VICTIMS. 5) Real Impowerment Comes From Innovation and Achieving Better and Bigger Goals. Not VICTIMHOOD SORRY
Are you really trying to make a case against the victims? Why? Why do the victims garner more hate and criticism than Dr. Nassar in comment sections? You don't get famous from being a victim; they gained nothing but the right to face their violator by making themselves known. They did not make themselves victims. A doctor told 7 and 8 year olds he had a vagina massage treatment that would improve their health. Those 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 ,16,17, & 18 year olds are victims of sexual assault. Some were innocent victims and some were naive victims, but they are victims. When they spoke their truth in order to help others they left victim hood behind.
One man did ALL that damage and no adult acted? A lot of prominent people knew this was going on. I'm willing to bet that Two of those prominent people are *Bela and Martha Karolyi.*
MalcolmRandall They deserve to do some jail time also. Larry Nassar was a sick, manipulative fellow, but he didn't get away with it for so long by himself. Others need to pay too.
Nikki Fresquez It is an award for area strength and courage. It’s never a light topic award. Just because you don’t understand does not mean it’s wrong.
All those poor young innocent girls systematically abused and being told it was “normal “ procedure thank goodness someone finally believed them and that thing is now behind bars
I don't care other comments are saying but this video had me crying so powerful so touching so heartbreaking and so much courage love empathy and strong words man there's too many words I want to describe this very emotional moment.
I applaud these women so much. I can’t even imagine what they went through. To everyone who says they are lying, you seriously need to listen to the testimonies. To everyone who says this is a “witch hunt” or fake, imagine being in their shoes....... I give these women so much credit and they are all survivors. Simple as that #TimesUp
Exactly Matthew shoot an arrogant jack a** on here said to me that because I didn't speak up that, that was the reason I was sexually abused and that if I'm not willing to get the help I need that I'm too weak for this world.... and same said arrogant a** also said that what these ladies did isn't courage and that it's just common sense. I swear some people just infuriate me, & honestly what he said to me really really upset me and I had even asked him if he'd been abused and he said no, and then I told him well that's exactly my point cause if you've never been abused then you don't know the pain that sexual abuse victims turned survivors go through day in and day out and sometimes this lasts for the rest of their lives.
Skip Bayless I’m not a sheep, I’m fully aware of what’s going on. Have you listened to the testimonies!? Where’s your proof they are lying? There’s way more proof that this is true vs it being false. Open your eyes and ears to the world around you cus you’re clearly missing out on what’s important
Matthew Paydo Nah I don't have time for that shit. Come on you really believe most of them? HAHAHAHA women lie about rapes and sexual harassment etc. example Duke lacrosse scandal. I'm not saying all of them lie but most did. What's important is my money and health son. In today's world is survival of the fittest and if you're a sheep you're to get slaughtered. You must hate being a man huh? Pathetic.
@@markcarls1896 you seriously think 300+ people would all decide to just accuse someone for fun? no these girls were sexually abused and USAG let it go on for over 20 years knowing about it
You can see the astonishment and tears in many of the audience members eyes and faces as they are clapping as the never-ending line of women make their way to the stage, like they all understood the poignancy of that many women and what they endured.
@@ileana823100 Which is the WORST part -because if someone had listened back in the 90s, most of them would have never have had to suffer and had their lives changed by him.
I’m convinced some of you just clicked on this video to leave a rude comment about these women and didn’t actually watch the video or listen to what they were saying at all.
Rodrigo Gonzalez I’m not saying it doesn’t. But so many of these comments are criticizing them for not trying to do anything when half their speech is literally about how much they were being silenced when they tried.
Most time victims, especially children, don't understand what's happening Conor. Also, lots of times they are terrified and ashamed to speak up! Don't judge someone when you have not the first idea of what it's like to be a child in that situation.
You are a terrible mother for raising your daughter to think it's OK to lie about being sexually abused. I hope she is taken away from you and sent to a good home!
Sending all these amazing women who have the courage to finally stand up. And the men who help and support them, I commend. Let's all act humanely towards each other. It's just a shame how we dehumanize ourselves and others by sexual violence and depravity. Beautiful award show. Glad they have this time.
Myellaa Black Their parents were in the room with them while he fingered them and they came back for multiple checkups for 30 years because I mean obviously it felt good. Their own parents didn’t care
Bravo to all the sister survivors (332 in total) who spoke up and praises to the judge and prosecutors who put an end to this depraved scandal. Let it be a lesson that a scandal of this proportion never happens EVER AGAIN!!!!
It is mind-boggling how this many 'girls' (now young women) could have been going through the same abuse for SO LONG and NOTHING was ever done about it. Same with the priests who molested children for decades and Sandusky molesting boys right in the locker room and so many other instances of systemic abuse where no one would stand up to it. What is wrong with people???
Seeing them. All of the different ages. It’s insane. And then to remember that this isn’t even all of the women that came forward. And there’s undoubtedly more women who didn’t come forward. You are all so strong.
Seeing all the sad looks on those big tough athletes on stage and especially in the audience was so moving. A good reminder that they're still human and they hurt like the rest of us.
After the sentencing, there were also 2 men who spoke and are part of this group. I wish they had been ready to do that earlier. I would have been honored to also hear their voices.
I just stumbled across this. For what it's worth, all these years later, as a 60 year old man, father of a daughter, husband to a wife, I am ugly sobbing. Kudos to these brave women and the law enforcement people who finally....finally believed them. Wow.
That speech and so many of them 😭. I'm watching almost two years later, feeling that heartbreak and pain all over again 😭. I can't even imagine how they're all feeling. I'm glad someone FINALLY listened. I truly hope they get the support they need for the rest of their lives.
To all those who say that these brave, courageous women are liars, shame on you. This is why many sexual abuse and assault survivors like myself don't come forward until for some of us months or even YEARS after the assault or abuse we received because we have always been told that we are lying or making it up. sexual abuse and assault is not a joke, it's nothing to take lightly. It's very serious, I hope that all sexual assault and abuse survivors find their strength to stand up and speak up about what happened to them. Cause as the beautiful Aly Raisman so beautifully put, we may suffer alone but we survive together. #MeToo
Some people can be soo insensitive to what others go through. These girls are soo strong and inspirational and people are making cruel jokes. It's all funny and shit until someone you know is sexually abused.
To everybody saying he was doing his job, fu. If you watched this live you would've seen how many women, ages 6-40, he abused and you would've heard it in detail. They literally explained how he would stick his fingers INSIDE and "internally fix their injuries." Mind you, he did this to girls as young as 6 years old.
It's absolutely normal to put fingers inside of a female patients genitals during a pelvic exam or pelvic floor physical therapy. There's no other way to reach the muscles. That alone doesn't constitute abuse. He crossed a line when he started to perform this unnecessarily, as he admitted.
Scrolling through the comments would be funny if it weren't so sad. We are at a point where being against child abuse, sexual abuse, is now a "liberal agenda" apparently. If you are so upset at speaking out against a sexual abuser for 10 minutes durring an award show is so inconvenient for you that you feel it necessary to take the time to complain on TH-cam, perhaps you are the real issue.
Thankfully there are still good police and members of the justice department who took this case and prosecuted that monster to the full extent of the law. Seeing the number of women on stage, who only actually represent a fraction of the likely thousands who were abused, makes me feel so sad. I am grateful that they are strong to tell their story. Thank you
Jesus. When you see the numbers...the scale of the shock is made crystal clear... I can’t help but cry. And I’m incredulous as to how this sick individual was allowed to continue for so long.
Michael Hart did Larry finger her too even though her dad worked for the team?! Maybe he didn’t tell his daughter a doctor isn’t suppose to finger the gymnasts?
Laura Bourdrel I’m not really sure how Nastia fits into all this, but there are many assumptions out there Nadar did not touch Nastia for fear of her father (her coach) finding out... some people say that he knew of others being abused but there was never any proof... Nastia and Shawn have commented on the case, saying how though they weren’t abused but are praying for those who were
@@JudgeDredd_ how is that sketchy? How do you know she wasn’t abused and it’s because of that that she’s keeping quiet. How do you know she hasn’t reached out to these women privately?
He's a gross, vile, disgusting excuse for a human being... him and all sexual predators. here's what I think should happen, lock up every single abuser in the world in a ginormus metal cage, give each abuse survivor a long hard metal baseball bat and let the survivors have "a little fun with their abusers".... now that's something I can get behind because I'd gladly have fun with my abuser by being allowed to beat the living sh*t out of him. Cause after what he did to me and the scars that are left behind he deserves a life of misery, and a slow painful death.
Most definitely. Hopefully, USAG, MSU, Twistars, and USOC will all be held accountable too. Also, the shame goes on the perpetrators, not the victims. All the women who accepted their award are courageous!
The idiots who make fun of this are probably guilty of sexual assault/ harassment themselves. Anyway, this was a powerful moment and as a victim myself, it is good to see them speak their truth. They are brave!
Seeing this helped me get through my Abuse. and MILCK even personally responded to me. As a man and having to deal with Sexual Assault it is extremely hard to speak out, I got the courage to do so when I seen this. and hearing 'Quiet" really helped me find my voice again. I was silent for so long, but I love singing this song. Thank You to MILCK for making this song, And a great big Thank You to all these women and sooooo many more for speaking out. Thank You so very much!!!!!!!!
Chills. Every single time. This alone shows that they didn't let Nassar beat them down. They spoke their truth and rose. Nassar has no more power over them and they have each found their own strength. These women are some of the strongest and courageous women I know. ❤️
I have no words! Thank you Milck for leading me to this video. I actually, for the first time in over 30 years .....DIDNT feel alone. Thank you for this moment of peace I felt ❤️
I seriously cried seeing all of them survivers just seeing how one guy can do it to so many women. These women are so very strong and I applaud all of them for how strong they are
Wow. Bawling my eyes out. Gymnastics is really the only sport I watch and love. It breaks my heart that these girls were being abused while I was watching them on tv. So powerful. Amazing ❤️
Yes, as a big gymnastics fan myself, it too breaks my heart to know their success came with such suffering. Seeing them all together is really powerful = though again heartwrenching because of the sheer magnitude of his abuse.
@@macaelatice-loma1048 Without a doubt. But the sheer number of women on the stage really hammers in the fact that this is was allowed to go on and on for such a long time.
How many years of abuse reporting on Nassar? I have also encountered abuse, and when one is not believed, it seems like a double betrayal. In my case, I told a minister expecting understanding or empathy, but got none. Don't give up. Keep telling your truth until someone believes you, and will truly help you. Stand strong. ☮️
I can only admire and respect the courage these girls showed... The whole system was against them, the whole system tried to silence them! They, however young and fragile they were, found incredible inner strength, courage, determination to stop the abuse. To each and every single one of you, girls, I can only show respect and admiration. You can bring a lot to this world.
It's overwhelming to see how many women he abused. What a beautiful thing to see him no longer able to hurt anyone. These young ladies are so beautiful and brave!
Was an incomplete message , in fact maybe even downright disrespectful. How about them sandusky boys that were raped ?? Shouldn't they share that same stage being they were the first to bring awareness to athletes who were raped ?? It's gross to think that their voices did not get the same attention at this event.
Elaine&alive No I dont think thats it. Its just another thing the media holds up to distract from POTUS Donald J Trump's accomplishments and his work to make America Great Again!!!!
Incredible ladies. Just incredible. Thank you for stepping forward and setting a standard for all to see. Putting personal pride and privacy aside and going through the long and grueling process to make this happen.
Seeing an innocent man incarcerated for the rest of his life so that these girls could have a few moments of fame? You are the most disgusting kind of person.
This comment section is disgusting. Making fun of this particular moment and all that led up to it makes you guilty of defending the man who committed atrocities against these women every day for years. Clearly, you don't have a clue about the effects of sexual abuse on a person and oftentimes how hard it is to speak up. You should be ashamed of yourselves for joking about this moment and oh yeah I'm a male saying this in 2018. This isn't being an "SJW," this is about justice for these ladies who were victims of horrendous crimes.
If telling people he thinks they should be ashamed of themselves is thought policing, isn't it also thought policing to tell someone they shouldn't share the fact that they think you should be ashamed of yourself? Spoiler: Neither are thought policing, because neither of these cases involve anyone telling you what to think. It's about behavior, and it's actually a good thing when someone calls out shitty behavior. You probably should be ashamed of yourself, but you're 100% free to keep sticking up for the pedophile by downplaying the situation
It's still a fucking two faced industry. The room is applauding these people from coming out but they all knew. It's like the Academy Awards and Weinstein all over again.
For these beautiful young ladies to stand up and say they were abused is one of the healthiest things they could have done. I am so proud of them. I hope they are getting the therapy they need. I, too, was sexually abused when I was a little girl. I had 1 yes 1 supporter who was my sister-in-law. Not my brothers, sister, mother or many other family members. Thank God I got therapy; it saved my life.
It horrified me how many women stood on that stage to speak their truth. Knowing there were even more made me cry. I am so upset that they were failed in the past and I am so glad that despicable monster is behind bars.
It is incredible to see how powerful silence can be, it is horrible to see what a man with power is capable of but it is more frightening to see how there are people who defend that monster justifying their actions because he was a doctor and I can only think of two things, those people are either sexual depressors like him and that's why they defend him or are simply idiots without a heart
Thank you ladies for having the courage to stand up for what is right. For over a year or so I was abused by a man who would give rides to and from the doctor. He would try to touch my private area. Told a counselor but she didn't believe me. Told my mom, sisters, and pastors wife. Finally something was done. It wasn't easy speaking out being called crazy and over I overreacted because of my mental illnesses
This award presentation is extremely moving. These survivors have participated in the #MeToo movement and have been strong enough to speak out about what happened. I think that this is just the beginning of this movement and it will continue to grow. I wish it hadn't taken this case for women to finally speak up but I am glad women are coming together to stand up for themselves as well as each other!
My god a very close friend of mine was a part of this and she was abused!!! I can’t believe that this happened to her. I never knew what was happening and I only feel sorry that I didn’t know. There were times when I was mean to her and I had no idea what was going on behind the scenes. She was very suicidal and I had no idea, I only wish I could go back and help her.
watching how many climbed onto the stage broke my heart even more than it already was
Cassady Taylor I cant believe they all climbed on his table to get molested while their parents were in the room that’s so crazy that he got away with that
And least two are missing. It seems at least two of his victims commit suicide.
Cassady Taylor , can you imagine how many actresses would be up there? Or Epstein victims? This is a powerful group because their sports are considered dignified and they usually well looked after by their parents who sacrifice hugely to get them to these competitive levels. So proud of them.

I’m so happy you were able to report them. You are so so strong and beautiful. You did such a incredibly tough thing with so much courage, you are incredible!!!!! Please let us know if u need ANYTHING!! I am always here to talk!:))
Bravo to you for doing what you did, as well as Ally.
Incredibly proud of you for that. It takes immeasurable courage
I am so glad you had the courage to report your abuser. *hugs from Ohio*

That speech and so many of them 😭. I'm watching almost two years later, feeling that heartbreak and pain all over again 😭. I can't even imagine how they're all feeling. I'm glad someone FINALLY listened. I truly hope they get the support they need for the rest of their lives.
Try to watch videos from the courtroom,it was so hard to watch,but all i can say is that these women are not victims, they are survivors
This gave me chills. What a brilliant moment of women uniting and standing together.
This is one of the most wonderful event gatherings I have ever witnessed.
To all those who say that these brave, courageous women are liars, shame on you. This is why many sexual abuse and assault survivors like myself don't come forward until for some of us months or even YEARS after the assault or abuse we received because we have always been told that we are lying or making it up. sexual abuse and assault is not a joke, it's nothing to take lightly. It's very serious, I hope that all sexual assault and abuse survivors find their strength to stand up and speak up about what happened to them. Cause as the beautiful Aly Raisman so beautifully put, we may suffer alone but we survive together. #MeToo
i understand you, WOMENS ARE STRONG
we believe u
30! FREAKING YEARS OMG
Ben Sedgmer their own parents didn’t care
Some people can be soo insensitive to what others go through. These girls are soo strong and inspirational and people are making cruel jokes.
It's all funny and shit until someone you know is sexually abused.
Yes I'm revisiting this in 2020. We can never forget what these women taught us!
What happened to these young women was horrible but it was moving to see them all looking so beautiful and strong up there on that stage.
To everybody saying he was doing his job, fu. If you watched this live you would've seen how many women, ages 6-40, he abused and you would've heard it in detail. They literally explained how he would stick his fingers INSIDE and "internally fix their injuries." Mind you, he did this to girls as young as 6 years old.
It's absolutely normal to put fingers inside of a female patients genitals during a pelvic exam or pelvic floor physical therapy. There's no other way to reach the muscles. That alone doesn't constitute abuse. He crossed a line when he started to perform this unnecessarily, as he admitted.
Lindsay Willis whats wrong with that?
Fuck all of you sexist pigs in this reply section
Tyrone he was a bone doctor not a gynecologist!! no gloves!!! they were children!! why would a 6 year old need a pelvic exam??
yeah he abused his power as a doctor . so gross when they pretty much minors
This weighed heavy on my heart to literally see all these women come forward.. just imagining all the other women in the world that couldn't 😔
I wanna hug each of you .such brave and beautiful ladies .
Sandy L assault
Just came from watching Athlete A. This is powerful.
The HBO Documentary: "At the heart of Gold" is also a good documentary on this scandal.
Scrolling through the comments would be funny if it weren't so sad. We are at a point where being against child abuse, sexual abuse, is now a "liberal agenda" apparently. If you are so upset at speaking out against a sexual abuser for 10 minutes durring an award show is so inconvenient for you that you feel it necessary to take the time to complain on TH-cam, perhaps you are the real issue.
Great speeches ladies. What strong women. So proud of all of you.
Thankfully there are still good police and members of the justice department who took this case and prosecuted that monster to the full extent of the law. Seeing the number of women on stage, who only actually represent a fraction of the likely thousands who were abused, makes me feel so sad. I am grateful that they are strong to tell their story. Thank you
Every one of these women are heroes and they NEED TO BE HEARD!!!!
Jesus. When you see the numbers...the scale of the shock is made crystal clear... I can’t help but cry. And I’m incredulous as to how this sick individual was allowed to continue for so long.
My heart breaks when Nastia wiped away a tear
Michael Hart did Larry finger her too even though her dad worked for the team?! Maybe he didn’t tell his daughter a doctor isn’t suppose to finger the gymnasts?
@@JudgeDredd_ she never said she was abused or anything. She remain silent about all this nassar case, like Shawn, Alicia etc..
Laura Bourdrel that’s so sketchy of them but I guess it’s their right or whatever
Laura Bourdrel I’m not really sure how Nastia fits into all this, but there are many assumptions out there Nadar did not touch Nastia for fear of her father (her coach) finding out... some people say that he knew of others being abused but there was never any proof... Nastia and Shawn have commented on the case, saying how though they weren’t abused but are praying for those who were
@@JudgeDredd_ how is that sketchy? How do you know she wasn’t abused and it’s because of that that she’s keeping quiet. How do you know she hasn’t reached out to these women privately?
Brave women, I don't know what I do if this happens to my daughter.
I know if it was mine, that dude would never make it out of the court room
So brave. Thank you for standing up and helping others in the face of your own pain.
Love and respect to each and every survivor of his abuse!!! Hero's and Idols! Girl Power!!
I'm crying so much right now 😭
They are so brave, courageous, and well spoken. Heroes!
Larry Nassar is gross.
finally, a comment I can fully support.
He's a gross, vile, disgusting excuse for a human being... him and all sexual predators. here's what I think should happen, lock up every single abuser in the world in a ginormus metal cage, give each abuse survivor a long hard metal baseball bat and let the survivors have "a little fun with their abusers".... now that's something I can get behind because I'd gladly have fun with my abuser by being allowed to beat the living sh*t out of him. Cause after what he did to me and the scars that are left behind he deserves a life of misery, and a slow painful death.
Michelle C As a society we still don't lock up guys like him until there's 300 girls testifying. It's pathetic
Most definitely. Hopefully, USAG, MSU, Twistars, and USOC will all be held accountable too. Also, the shame goes on the perpetrators, not the victims. All the women who accepted their award are courageous!
Michelle C You are so correct.
these comments are disgusting. So proud of all of these women
steve hornostaj amen to that
Go to sleep momma soy boys....you beta manginas
GenX Alpha fuck outta here uneducated bitchass
steve hornostaj stop copying and pasting that comment. Jesus dude
steve hornostaj your pathetic for thinking your gonna make an impact sir down bitch and take a fucking joke
The idiots who make fun of this are probably guilty of sexual assault/ harassment themselves.
Anyway, this was a powerful moment and as a victim myself, it is good to see them speak their truth. They are brave!
Wow you're gross. Your parents failed raising you.
socalgurl01 I’m pretty sure these gymnasts’ parents failed them 🤣!!!
socalgurl01 I mean the username itself gives everything away
I’ve watched the trial videos but seeing how many people were actually affected made me cry.
shy anne shepherd so wait he fingered every single woman on stage and nobody knew? I find that extremely unbelievable.
Judge Dredd people did know. Money does wonders. The catholic church has showed us that.
Scorpio Panda the parents got hush money too?
Judge Dredd some did. And some didn’t believe them. Who would. Just look at these comments including yours!
Scorpio Panda A good parent would. Hard to believe there were over 300 pairs of shitty parents. I love my mom and dad.
Seeing this helped me get through my Abuse. and MILCK even personally responded to me. As a man and having to deal with Sexual Assault it is extremely hard to speak out, I got the courage to do so when I seen this. and hearing 'Quiet" really helped me find my voice again. I was silent for so long, but I love singing this song. Thank You to MILCK for making this song, And a great big Thank You to all these women and sooooo many more for speaking out. Thank You so very much!!!!!!!!
Chills. Every single time. This alone shows that they didn't let Nassar beat them down. They spoke their truth and rose. Nassar has no more power over them and they have each found their own strength. These women are some of the strongest and courageous women I know. ❤️
Whenever I need to feel aggressive to get through hard times, I watch this video. These women change the course of history.
Me too 😢
It’s so touching!
The song is so haunting
I have no words! Thank you Milck for leading me to this video. I actually, for the first time in over 30 years .....DIDNT feel alone. Thank you for this moment of peace I felt ❤️
I seriously cried seeing all of them survivers just seeing how one guy can do it to so many women. These women are so very strong and I applaud all of them for how strong they are
Wow. Bawling my eyes out. Gymnastics is really the only sport I watch and love. It breaks my heart that these girls were being abused while I was watching them on tv. So powerful. Amazing ❤️
Amanda Jones Great.....where's my sandwich?
Yes, as a big gymnastics fan myself, it too breaks my heart to know their success came with such suffering. Seeing them all together is really powerful = though again heartwrenching because of the sheer magnitude of his abuse.
@@amethystthedarkrai648 hahahaha
Amazing!!
Anyone that has been sexually abused or assaulted needs to speak up, do not be afraid!!
You can make a change in this world!!
I also love how everybody in the crowd qas very respectful
Just seeing all those ladies broke my heart, seeing their strength made it swell w/pride!
oh my gosh the amount of people this man abused is heartbreaking 🧡
The sheer number of recipients....this is heartbreaking...
yeah but the important thing is that somebody stepped up and told trusting people to charge and put him in incarceration for life!!
@@macaelatice-loma1048 Without a doubt. But the sheer number of women on the stage really hammers in the fact that this is was allowed to go on and on for such a long time.
How many years of abuse reporting on Nassar? I have also encountered abuse, and when one is not believed, it seems like a double betrayal. In my case, I told a minister expecting understanding or empathy, but got none. Don't give up. Keep telling your truth until someone believes you, and will truly help you. Stand strong. ☮️
To all of you beautiful talented women that were a victim of this I wish each and everyone of you guys nothing but the best.. God bless
ESPN should've disabled the comment section
Bill Russell yuppp
They will soon. But this is a free country and people should say what they want.
for the love of god ESPN put us all out of our misery.
I can only admire and respect the courage these girls showed... The whole system was against them, the whole system tried to silence them! They, however young and fragile they were, found incredible inner strength, courage, determination to stop the abuse. To each and every single one of you, girls, I can only show respect and admiration. You can bring a lot to this world.
This was amazing well done girls you are so brave we are proud of you
It's overwhelming to see how many women he abused. What a beautiful thing to see him no longer able to hurt anyone. These young ladies are so beautiful and brave!
And that's only a part of the woman, children, and events he sexually abused. Over 300 young people . And probably a lot more
This is at once so powerful and extremely heartbreaking
Thank you ESPN!
Very powerful woman. Thank you for speaking up and sharing. I love each and everyone one of you. Thank you!💛
This is awesome! What a great message
s617 doesn't like when people criticize pedophiles! Wonder why!
Nick Perez like em young 😘😘😘😘
Was an incomplete message , in fact maybe even downright disrespectful. How about them sandusky boys that were raped ?? Shouldn't they share that same stage being they were the first to bring awareness to athletes who were raped ?? It's gross to think that their voices did not get the same attention at this event.
The Sandusky boys liked it because if they didnt they wouldnt have let it happen.There were boys who kept doing it after it happen the first time.
Joe Mannix .........that was a disgusting comment to make. Grow up !!
Brave women,we love you
brave? for getting rubbed?
m335 for speaking out, jerk
Elaine&alive No I dont think thats it. Its just another thing the media holds up to distract from POTUS Donald J Trump's accomplishments and his work to make America Great Again!!!!
Elaine&alive For lying you mean
Connie Muniz For snitching? Fuck outta here.
Incredible ladies. Just incredible. Thank you for stepping forward and setting a standard for all to see. Putting personal pride and privacy aside and going through the long and grueling process to make this happen.
Most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Seeing an innocent man incarcerated for the rest of his life so that these girls could have a few moments of fame? You are the most disgusting kind of person.
LunarX but he’s not innocent.
@@markcarls1896 Why do you support nessar so much? I guess you freaks really do stick together.
These ladies are such an inspiration ❤️
This is powerful. God bless these women.
This comment section is disgusting. Making fun of this particular moment and all that led up to it makes you guilty of defending the man who committed atrocities against these women every day for years. Clearly, you don't have a clue about the effects of sexual abuse on a person and oftentimes how hard it is to speak up. You should be ashamed of yourselves for joking about this moment and oh yeah I'm a male saying this in 2018. This isn't being an "SJW," this is about justice for these ladies who were victims of horrendous crimes.
"Making fun of this... makes you guilty"
Thought (thot) police much?
Auzz oh shut the hell up
If telling people he thinks they should be ashamed of themselves is thought policing, isn't it also thought policing to tell someone they shouldn't share the fact that they think you should be ashamed of yourself?
Spoiler: Neither are thought policing, because neither of these cases involve anyone telling you what to think. It's about behavior, and it's actually a good thing when someone calls out shitty behavior. You probably should be ashamed of yourself, but you're 100% free to keep sticking up for the pedophile by downplaying the situation
throwing a man in prison for giving out free massage?
It's still a fucking two faced industry. The room is applauding these people from coming out but they all knew. It's like the Academy Awards and Weinstein all over again.
For these beautiful young ladies to stand up and say they were abused is one of the healthiest things they could have done. I am so proud of them. I hope they are getting the therapy they need. I, too, was sexually abused when I was a little girl. I had 1 yes 1 supporter who was my sister-in-law. Not my brothers, sister, mother or many other family members. Thank God I got therapy; it saved my life.
It makes me scream in tears of glory to see you all together to show the world's in justice on us. Praise you.
It horrified me how many women stood on that stage to speak their truth. Knowing there were even more made me cry. I am so upset that they were failed in the past and I am so glad that despicable monster is behind bars.
Sarah it’s not their truth. These are false allegations made to push feminist propaganda. They should be in jail.
@@condorsalesman 30 years of truth vs a youtube idiot. You lose.
I have goosebumps. My Sisters... So proud
Alicia sacramone coming on stage to hug Aly Raisman means everything...
So courageous I'm sure speaking up alone all those years was traumatic enough as a child basically I pray for healing
Amazing! You speak for us all, the survivors or sexual predation. I'm proud to draw and share strength with all of these ladies.
the way they just kept coming out breaks my heart :(
It is incredible to see how powerful silence can be, it is horrible to see what a man with power is capable of but it is more frightening to see how there are people who defend that monster justifying their actions because he was a doctor and I can only think of two things, those people are either sexual depressors like him and that's why they defend him or are simply idiots without a heart
Thank you ladies for having the courage to stand up for what is right.
For over a year or so I was abused by a man who would give rides to and from the doctor.
He would try to touch my private area. Told a counselor but she didn't believe me. Told my mom, sisters, and pastors wife. Finally something was done.
It wasn't easy speaking out being called crazy and over I overreacted because of my mental illnesses
This award presentation is extremely moving. These survivors have participated in the #MeToo movement and have been strong enough to speak out about what happened. I think that this is just the beginning of this movement and it will continue to grow. I wish it hadn't taken this case for women to finally speak up but I am glad women are coming together to stand up for themselves as well as each other!
The #me too movement is not inclusive.
I cried,I was emotionally abused for 9years,it isnt something I would wish on my enemy,THIS WAS POWERFUL
My god a very close friend of mine was a part of this and she was abused!!! I can’t believe that this happened to her. I never knew what was happening and I only feel sorry that I didn’t know. There were times when I was mean to her and I had no idea what was going on behind the scenes. She was very suicidal and I had no idea, I only wish I could go back and help her.
More power ,courage and love to these brave women..
You are not alone
