some were to young to come talk at court or to understand

Watch court videos, lot of girls spoke..

And boys

They should be stoned to death

BangBangAhLieee amen

HAROON MUSHTAQ amen

Not just young girl it’s any women/girls in fact.

That’s the number one reason people don’t come forward because you get bashed more where the focus is taken off of the incident and has put more on “convincing”

@@amberlyn28 but we have to come forward if this happens to us regardless! If one girl came forward to authorities after this happened all the rest after her would’ve been saved from this trauma. I understand children being afraid to come forward, but adults have a responsibility to do it. If you can’t do it for you, do it for the next girl. It is not okay to not speak up regardless of your fears.

@@JahlenJohnson11 But some spoke up and were shut down.

@@JahlenJohnson11 You are beyond arrogant if you think that forcing a survivor or victim to say something will keep her abuser from abusing again . Period

Stephanie Smith yeees, i laughed so hard at this One !

She is so incredible.

I am upvote #999.

Gymnasts make that remark all the time.

You are a beautiful empowered woman Simone! You are a hero to millions of survivors!❤

A role model that allowed a man to molest her for maybe 8 yrs and only now speaking out? WTF!!

Sarai M she is a role model

You don't get how it is to get sexually assaulted and it is very hard to say something

Skyler Montgomery You’re just what’s wrong with why kids don’t speak out. If you had a single working brain cell, you’d see it’s a clear abuse of authority and power over a child. But, sure, go ahead and say she was asking for it, a kid at the time. You sound absolutely idiotic.

Can we say black ppl please. Ppl Always minimize and erase black pplz accomplishments by painting over it with a brown colored brush but when we mess up y’all get very specific and say black. I’m sure you ment no harm ami used to use the term POC but I’ve learned how systemically hurtful and problematic

She quit the Olympics. Never would have happened if he was still there. He made them winners.

@@kimwhatmatters4085 EXACTLY.

@@catsincredulous9998 she going on tour after the Olympics and her Olympics USA gymnastics team mates are going on tour with her. The other ladies are very excited to be going on tour with her. So, she still will be in the spotlight and getting paid while you will be sitting on your couch trolling her. Smh

People of color. Why not bridge gaps instead of supporting them? When a white woman takes a stand I don't think, " what a great move for white people." Your people talk segregation & inequality yet exclusion & separation dominate your everyday discussion.

Gymnast Girl exactly

And WHY would anyone want her to share details!!??

yep , she shouldnt have to share , see how much better the interview got after they moved on to her movie? I feel so sad for her I pray for her strength.

so true

Yes, it's one thing to go through trauma. That is difficult beyond belief. It is a whole other thing to then pick up that trauma and lay it out on national television, for everyone to see. I'm proud of her for even exposing herself to questions related to Nassar. I'm sure she does it out of selflessness and care. Increasing awareness of abuse in sports so future generations can be safer.

Jay Petrova Lmao. She sure DOES 😂😂😂😂😂

Jay Petrova 🤣🤣

Hahahh

😆

😂

I was like, how is she just smiling talking about her trauma? Then I remember she mentioned compartmentalizing. Amazing woman!!! She's won what 5 gold medals?!!?!!! There is more to life than another medal. A true hero, in many ways!

WickedlyMe328 i thought it was 165 women

footyfan101ful more are coming forward publicly with this week’s sentencing. 65 are expected to testify

at least one committed suicide.....her mother spoke at the trial.

And those are just the ones we know about:(

WickedlyMe328 Wow that many girls were involved in this, What has our world come to?

Marcos Juarez exactly

Larry Nasser would have been jailed for life by any judge, I dont know what the judge has to do with it.

tubester4567 that’s what we want to believe but the judicial system has let down females time and time again example: Brock Turner

leeny722 Nassar pled guilty and walked into court with a plea agreement/sentencing agreed upon by all parties per law. The judge didn't have to do anything but dot the i's and cross the t's.

tubester4567 Like, because women aren't taken seriusly enough to even be considered as dangerous as men? Society is also trying to change that too

@@slaveownersassociationofam6735 Your name already gives me an idea of who you are, a loser.

@@slaveownersassociationofam6735 you are the problem

@@KateBee123 No, she actually is down to earth. She is at a gym (WCC) with tons of kids who look up to her. I’ve seen with my own eyes how she interacts with kids in the gym, people in the community, and her teammates. This sweet personality that you see in interviews is how she is when the cameras aren’t rolling. She is truly a sweetheart.

@@asam3054 She is lovely.

I love her.

doedelzak True but at the end of the day she still got to hang out with friends, teammates, boyfriend, family AND win medals.

doedelzak well some people don’t get that until their 20 either. Anyway I was just stating my opinion. If you rather go through high school rather than train all day then do you.

High school sucked for YOU.

Maybe for you. I was the same, didn’t go to my school ball (we don’t have prom in Australia) coz I didn’t want to. But for a lot of girls they dream about it and it’s the best thing about high school. You can’t judge other people based on your own standards.

I’m not trying to judge anyone just stating my own opinion

Cooking Lessons for Dad an inspiration 🙏🏼 for the sport, for young people, So positive. Always smiling. And strong a Hero 💪🏼🏆

Katya Smit She really is

Simone is a transgender. She is not hero in America.

Hiroyuki Kato f u

Omar Alrusi really? Does saying that make you feel better about yourself?

Puckles100 I don't think Olympians would be able to compete if they did take steroids.

Well, that's the most important fact for you? She is black and you are racist. Did she also get any extra olympic points for being black sportsman?

Lorenzo Kiki I'm not racist at all I love and respect every race, I'm just supporting a strong girl who has accomplished so much that happens to be black. I'm black as well so of course I'm gonna be proud of her....

ITS DAVINA thank you!

You obssese with race .this people are incredible.even i am black but i dont care her color.

"well spoken" lmaoo completely unnecessary, but we see you

It's not unnecessary

Black women can't be well spoken? Would a white woman be considered well spoken if they spoke like her ? Hmmmm

@@illytree Yup, we sure do. Dayum, it's either "so well spoken" *OR* "Wow, she (or he) is so *ARTICULATE*. Geez..........

@@lisalafayette BLF means well, but most white people don't know how it feels as a black person to be told she's "so well spoken" or "so articulate". they don't understand the history behind this and sometimes the painful assumptions associated with those phrases, spoken by other well-meaning white people. so BLF, we say "bless your heart"

@@xur1317 you’re sick

Magic? Oh right the guy who eventually cheated on the mother of his children, his black queen, with a white woman. 😂

Simone is fantastic because of her achievements, not because of her colour...

Why can't she just be the embodiment of a young woman? Or a young woman from a disadvantaged or troubled background? Why does it have to be a black/white thing? Bc if white ppl said the same about Aly, ppl would be all 'omg that's racist.' If it applies to one group, then it applies to all. Simone is a beautiful young woman. Period.

aHapPyFroG Does this comment bother you?

what's that VICTIMHOOD?

she is a first class champ like serena williams. i'd wanna pay her Lobola ( dowry) . she is a good kid , my teenage son should bring this type of girls home.she is well spoken, has good manners and is poised. I just hope she likes mixed boys.i just pray no white guy is going to snap her up.

@@PHlophe Wow. Just..wow. Your comment is disgusting. As a biracial girl myself, Simone can be with any color of person she wants. What would be your feelings if a white person said they hope white people only stayed with white people? My guess is you'd be screaming racism. STOP the race wars. Its time for them to end. And black folks are just as guilty as whites. Im praying you truly find God, you need some guidance.

@@PHlophe why not just wish that she chooses to go out with a Good Man? Your comment was sounding good until you started with the ignorant comment about, "white guy..." His ethnicity doesn't or shouldn't matter, as long as he's a good man, he cares about her and he treats her with respect. There are good and bad people in every ethnic group.

@@sunshinelu6558 I was going to post identical thoughts and feelings. Your words are by far more eloquent than I could ever express. Thank you.. All Lives Matter. Bless you.

All girls rock depending on what they’re talent is .

6 years to the date she got the twisties and withdrew from competition to the day was when Steve Penny knew sexual abuse was happening and covered the evidence up by asking his buddy at the FBI to drawer or bury the evidence. She has to come back to compete in front of organizations that failed her and the other minors, and in front of judges who penalize her for her skills....something needs to change.

Blue Eyed Southern Belle Tiny giant a Hero. Sweet and Strong! An inspiration. Not bitter, She is so positive 🏆💪🏼

Yeah I know 😂😂 but gymnastics puts a stent in growth

Ultra Violet the intense training and strain on their muscles and their bones stunt growth.

Blue Eyed Southern Belle l

Ultra Violet it doesn’t. That’s nonsense. Gymnasts are preselected. Just like basketball players.

Those people are devils that support people like nasser.

They probably DISLIKED what happened to her, meaning, "Yeah Im going to downvote the sad story, so sad." Imagine UPVOTING a r**e story, it's like sheesh. Why did so many people like this? It's a double-edged sword.

Me too, I truly think she is such a sweet person. Wishing her the absolute best!

They are full of evil...and do not realize it..

I vote for her of her appearences check her out of all.

amber black it's probably a lot of her healthy athletes diet too

Makeup

bs130201637 Syed Ather Ali are you stupid?

Don't reply to the troll! Just seeking attention! :D

her total look was lovely. her hair was nice, but her makeup was flawless and very understated. really accentuated her natural beauty.

Karen Johnson Nadia, and it’s not even close.

Nadia won one olympics and no worlds. Simone won and entire quad of gold medals which nobody has ever done since gymnastics became a sport. Nadia was an amazing athlete, but she is definitely not the greatest of all time. Even her first 10.0 had a mistake.

You can't even compare the two. Technically, Simone does the hardest gymnastics more consistently and cleanly than any athlete in the history of the sport and she's been dominant during the hardest era in the history of the sport to be dominant in. Nadia is a legend in her own right for her own reasons but she couldn't actually compete with Simone under the current code and Simone wouldn't have been on anyone's radar in 1976 for numerous reasons. Nadia wasn't nearly as dominant as many of the Soviet athletes were during her time, either. With Simone, it's barely even been close.

Karen Johnson There is an easy way to compare them. After forty years, you know who Nadia is. I seriously doubt Simone will be the the measuring block in the far future. People will still be saying that gymnast x is better than Nadia, because scoring difficulty blah blah blah. Rinse and repeat.

Lester, I would never take anything away from Nadia. She was stunning the couple years she competed. She is known for being the one to score the first perfect 10. Simone will be known for being the first to not only 3-peat the World Championships, but to win an entire quad. She also has more medals and more golds than anyone in such a short time competing. There are only two gymnasts who have more medals and they competed at least 3 quads. She will be competing this year and the rest of this quad - she can pass one of them in medals this year. The other is Larissa Latynina who competed in the 50s-60s and Michael Phelps just passed her. She can actually tie Latynina for most golds in an Olys in 2020. She won 4 golds and a bronze in 2016 - Latynina has 9 golds and the bronze Simone got was with a huge mistake. People will be talking about her for all of eternity if she wins the next Olympics (something Nadia could not do).

Thanks, Olga! We are so excited for your blog post to come out! Thanks for all your help and best of luck in your academic endeavors!

Thank you! I'm including it on one of my posts next week to make sure usual readers come by. :)

No She is Simone

The1&OnlyKiaFOH Plus Kate

kristy park nassar abused children, and there is a lot of evidence. Weinstein has already used his money to hush victims and get rid of evidence. He can always counter actresses with the claim they did it consentingly to advance their career. Nassar obviously can't claim a child consented, so it's all very different..

NYPD have been working on his investigation.

he wasn't a coach...

kristy park why isn't trump?

kristy park Yaaasss WHY???!!!

Sandra Montelongo I hope you are okay now 💙

I can relate, and I'm so sorry you endured that horrible pain. I hope you have found healing. You are not alone, and I believe you 100%. God loves you so much.

Your comment seems so negative. Why concentrate on her parentage? Every family has challenges. She is an amazing young woman , athlete and philanthropist.

So she and another sibling were adopted by her maternal grandfather and his new wife. The two other siblings were adopted by their maternal great uncle.

Brenda Anne Du Faur people get adopted all the time boo...and they do just fine. You just had to bring up some drama. Plus everyone knows this adoption story. Smh

sometimes it's better for the child to be taken away or given up.

She was adopted by family, her grandfather and step grandmother

Most kids don't know it's abuse because it is adults that they trust who commit the acts. Simone and the other minors subjected to Dr. Larry Nassar's abuse are no different.

@@brendakauffman2222 , that can be true. But what she described sounded like she had mostly blocked the memories until the reality of whatever pieces she had held onto fit together and hit her hard.

Good luck! I hope you make it to the Olympics!

missychelle33 Lol Michelle Obama? What has she done! 🤔

Tommy Bones who are u saying that about?

All Michelle Obama did was be a wife. ? Simone is a gold medal winning world Athlete. I see no comparison to Michelle.

Lorin S all Michelle Obama did was be a wife? Wowww. No offense but you are obviously a child and too young to truly know everything that Michelle Obama has done. It’s ok- but you should educate yourself before opening your mouth. Michelle Obama has done a ton of things- so much more than just being a wife. She’s an amazing woman- and I’m not even a democrat! Lol

@Lorin S Well, first of all, she graduated from Princeton University, B.A., 1985; And then Harvard University, J.D., 1988 Timeline: 1988-1991 - Associate attorney at Sidley & Austin in Chicago. 1991-1992 - Assistant to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. 1992-1993 - Assistant Commissioner of Planning and Development. 1993-1996 - Founding executive director of Public Allies Chicago. 1996-2002 - Associate Dean of Student Services for the University of Chicago and director of the University Community Service Center. 2002-2005 - Executive Director for Community Affairs for University of Chicago Hospitals. 2005-2007 - Member of the board of Tree House Foods, a food supplier for Wal-Mart stores. 2005-January 2009 - Executive Vice President of Community and External Affairs for UC Hospitals. February 9, 2010 - Launches the national campaign, "Let's Move!," to reduce childhood obesity. April 2011 - Launches the national veterans' campaign, "Joining Forces," with Dr. Jill Biden. June 20, 2011 - Travels to Africa for a week to focus on youth leadership, education, health and wellness. May 2014 - Launches the national campaign, "Reach Higher," a higher education initiative. Now, and that is on top of being a mom and a first lady. Is that nothing to you? If yes, let's see your list.
