So, @USAGym and USOC aka @TeamUSA
When I was under “your care” in Tokyo competing for Team USA at 15, and my parents weren’t allowed to stay in my hotel, or see me in person…
When I was all alone, naked, with Larry Nassar on top of me for 50min balling. Who’s fault is that?
USAG then points fingers at the USOC for abuse because they manage Olympics, international competitions, and all things Team USA.
Tell me why I never spoke to anyone from the USOC until the day I got to London?? and they just gave me rules of things I shouldn’t say or do.
USAG says they’re not responsible for the abuse that happened. Well then who is? I was a minor in Tokyo & in London.
We were not allowed to see our parents until after competitions, they were not allowed to stay at our hotel, or speak to us in person. We were in “USAG’s care”.
The goal is to create a culture where those that make us look over our shoulders are too afraid to act on their impulses because they see our power, not our weakness. They see that we will be believed and they will be held accountable for their actions.
Ask me how many times I looked over my shoulder while running? Six. I only ran 1.8 miles. I do this because I am female - but others do it because of the color of their skin, because of their gender identification or because they have been assaulted before.
@Mohloaka Please understand that you have no way of grasping my family’s circumstances. I kindly ask that you remove this tweet. Hurtful attacks on my family just makes the healing process more difficult for me.
John Engler actually said to his subordinates “get that teal shit out of here” in reference to the color supporting Nassar survivors. Respectfully, if the Board doesn’t act to remove him then the Governor and the legislature should act. He’s a disgrace. https://t.co/MkaxWbcjE9
Gymnast Aly Raisman says USA Gymnastics, United States Olympics Committee, and Michigan State University "enabled" Larry Nassar and "didn't handle it right": "That's why we need an independent investigation to get to the bottom of it."
This GIF of Judge Aquilina throwing away the letter Larry Nassar wrote the court about how hard it is for him to listen to victim testimonies PRETTY MUCH SAYS IT ALL.
Thank you to Judge Aquilina. Thank you to EVERY SINGLE person that came forward and shared their story, both in and out of the courtroom. And thank you to everyone who has reached out in support. ❤️ justice was served today and now it’s time for CHANGE #timesup
