@nickalvesmagaa I obviously don’t know what happened to Alysa and I don’t want to present my gut feeling as fact, but based on things I’ve heard and some of what her best friend has described, I do have a strong feeling that there’s much more to Alysa’s story too
okay i just watched one Alysa’s bsf FULL tik tok because i’d only seen the first few seconds before and genuinely wasn’t expecting where it went. i knew there had been issues with that coach, but i was absolutely not prepared to hear her talk about the Airbnbs,+
@nickalvesmagaa + the outside. Even if Alysa was favored, that absolutely wouldn’t mean she wasn’t abused or that nothing happened to her. Favoritism can exist alongside abuse, and it could’ve looked completely different with her. +
@nickalvesmagaa I did! Honestly it makes me feel sick. and knowing Alysa was there too is heartbreaking. i don’t want to speculate about her because she hasn’t spoken about what she personally experienced, and that’s completely her story to tell, but after hearing what her best friend+

+ i hope the adults responsible are being properly investigated and held accountable. Children should never have to be the ones to expose an unsafe environment. Those girls were children. they deserved adults who noticed, protected them, and got them out. My heart genuinely hurts
+ Ik Alysa hasn’t said anything herself and that’s her story to tell. The worst part is wondering how many adults knew these girls were exhausted, terrified, controlled around food, isolated from their parents etc and still thought ‘that’s just elite skating.’ +
