Aly Raisman On Dr. Larry Nassar’s Medical Treatment: I Didn’t Know It Was Abuse | Megyn Kelly TODAY

[@mariamarson5158]

"I don't know why we protect these disgusting people" ...that's perfectly said.

[@mantisking4567]

[@elchacal535]

They are protected because of people like Aly. if you don't report to the cops because you thought he was your "friend" what can anyone else do about it? what if someone tries to do something and you show up to the cops and tell them that Larry is your buddy. you know what would happen to the guy who tries to help you? don't blame others. you did not do your job.

[@ps6474]

@weepingwillow21...Well luckily he´s in prison for the rest of his life. But I have a question in case you may have knowledge, How was this sicko Nassar able to sexually abuse these girls, what kind of medical exams do female gymnast have to go through? I figured it was stretching of the limbs and exams of the arms, legs, such as the bones and muscles. I honestly have no clue how it works.

[@weepingwillows21]

@@ps6474 Me either. I've never been a gymnast myself, but I wish I knew how he was able to hide it for so long. I'm betting you have the right idea, though. I'm also betting Nassar isn't the only predator in the nest.

[@angsusornapirajkamol]

@@ps6474 I believe that he was claiming to do acupressure to release some muscle tension. Normally they need to put pressure on specific places on the body but for Nassar, that place happened to be inside the girls' vagina. One girl has said in her testimony that he did that to her brother as well by putting finger inside his genital and claimed that it would fix his 'chi' and then shoulder problem.

[@ps6474]

@@angsusornapirajkamol Oh wow, that is so crazy and sick for this creep to have taking advantage like that doing his dirty nasty tricks. I was confused as to how this Nassar was able to achieve this abuse, being I know nothing about these exams gymnast thought, so I thought perhaps these girls have have gyno like exam. I didn´t know he also abused males. Anyways, thank you for responding, I appreciate it.

[@OSOLovely93]

And this is why I’m grateful for my grandmother. From a young age, she taught me (like most Caribbean parents and grandparents) if someone touch me inappropriately or in a way that I don’t feel comfortable to open my mouth. It doesn’t matter if I’m not sure. I must tell someone and from a young age it was drilled into my head countless times . Some parents skip this step cuz they believe “it wouldn’t happens to their child”. But you don’t know what’s out there waiting for them.

[@77Creation]

Just had to make it about being Caribbean as if there’s a country on Earth that doesn’t tell their kids the same thing.

[@knowsitbest2546]

No one knows what it feels like unless it's happened to you. Everyone handles it differently. The feeling is indescribable. You do start to blame yourself because you feel shame. Your feelings and emotions are everywhere. Especially being so young. You can't comprehend what's happening. It's not easy to come out and say it.

[@knowsitbest2546]

J W like I said no one knows what it feels like until it happens to you. It's an indescribable feeling. Especially being so young, you just don't understand. And at the same time the grooming is so terrible. Because they make you believe that they care about you. Just cause they say that they care, doesn't mean they do, and being so young, kids don't know the difference.

[@carleyprater2440]

Oh my gosh. Would she stop interrupting her?

[@MyChilepepper]

This interviewer is rude. Keeps interrupting.

[@smileyfan16]

First of all I think she didn't speak up before the 2012 Olympics because it would have ruined her chances of getting on the team. She was too focused on being the best gymnast she can be. It is sad that USA Gymnastics didn't do anything to prevent Dr Nassar's behavior towards these young girls. He is a manipulator. Why on earth did these parents let their daughters be alone with this man?

[@treroney4720]

smileyfan16 That's not uncommon actually. I'm in my third year of psychology, very common in female children under extreme pressure.

[@mocneeuq]

Her coach should be part of the blame too. Her coach is the one she is with in this national team camps.

[@Sofiachristinav]

Gracie C. But the same policy applies for Mihai as it does for Larry. They can't be alone with her so why would Mihai even go check on her alone if thats against policy. Her parents aren't at national camps. The only one who is at fault is Nassar then USA gymnastics for not dealing with it appropriately.

[@giabarrone7422]

He was known as "the best" by pretty much everyone in the gym community and parents were not permitted at the training camps. The Karoli's were (allegedly) doling out their own version of abuse (physical violence, humiliation, witholding food, etc), which provided mutually assured destruction. It also set the perfect grooming situation, because the doc would (allegedly) sneak the girls food and treat them kindly.

[@Elong.]

Gracie C. Her male coach wasn't in her hotel room or with her everytime she went to the doctor. I'm sure he was devastated

I don’t think this is accurate. When you’re a child you don’t think it is. I’ll tell you something that none of these girls or boys would ever admit, it feels good. They don’t know any better, they do know it shouldn’t be right but at the same time you don’t understand what happened because you kind of like it. No one will admit it and society won’t talk about it.

Agron Legioneras Dictionary definition of hero is "a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities". I would also say a hero is someone who protects others. She is a hero because I admire her courage in speaking out against her abuser. The women who are speaking out against this abuser (Nassar) are protecting other little girls who would be abused by the creep in the future. I stand by my statement that you are disgusting.

Maniac Games she's not brave. Waiting years to say something isnt brave just wants attention.

[@Jp-ml8dm]

Right. She didn't know or realize it was abuse and she seemed to function perfectly until she was told she was abused really makes me wonder if she was really hurt. I think that is something for researchers to follow up on. I mean she Won gold, was happy and then she is told You were abused. Then she joins the bandwagon, writes a book and makes a ton of money and then makes even more money or will if a civil lawsuit is in play from the institution that employed this doctor. Look, I am not trying to defend the doctor or dismiss the fact that she had the expierience but it really is odd. More has to be researched about this issue of child sexual abuse. Lock em up and throw away the key/punishment is most certainly not going to cure this problem. We have to find out if this is in fact a learned behavior or is this in fact a genetic issue and if so how do we as a society treat this. Punishment only sends those who have not been caught into hiding and obviously if it is an attraction that is so strong such as an alchoholic who is in recovery/sober and an alchoholic beverage is placed right in front of them, how hard is it to walk away from it. I hope those of you who do read this get what I am trying to explain. Parents, you have to educate your children that if they are ever in a situation that makes them feel uncomfortable how to get away from the situation. They have to be educated that not everyone is going to try and hurt them etc...Ever since 9-11 we as a country have slipped so deeply into a paranoid society. It was not always like that. Anyway, Ive said my peice. I truly hope that all of the doctors (victims) can find closure and that they can now move forward in thier lives and that the doctor recieves the treatment/mental health he needs. Besides, I dont think this doctor is ever going to see the outside of a prison for the rest of his life. Such a really sad situation for all those involved in this situation.

Aside from all the INTERRUPTIONS of Aly trying to speak, I am deeply moved that the networks carried this and became a conduit for all those coming forward.

The host act like "I know everything, let me tell the story, you are here just to be here"

[@KOTJ412]

God bless her & all the other brave victims that spoke up to finally bring their predator to justice. Unfortunately, there are a lot of victims around the world that don’t have voice. Protect our kids & keep fighting to put away as many predators as we can.

[@TampaJohn]

She is so incredibly beautiful and strong.

I don’t know why anyone is told to keep quiet at any point, and I can’t express enough how unethical, wrong, and disgusting a gag order is to prevent anyone speaking up about abuse, anything like this should be legally immune from gag orders.

Why did this interviewer call him a doctor so many times? At the time of this interview he was already stripped of that title.

[@travelsworld4941]

I am with you Aly and I am very proud of you and keep it up the good work ?

[@chantelledenson4578]

Why did Megyn stop so suddenly? Makes me think someone in her ear was telling her not to go any further with that line of thought....

This abuse happened for so many years because of various reasons. What I can't stand is when outsiders blame the gymnasts and say, "Why didn't they speak up?". So let me give you a number of reasons: 1. For many the abuse started when they were still children or young teenagers and they didn't comprehend what was going on and they truly believed that what he was doing was medical practice. 2. Sometimes, the child's parents or some other coach would be in the room. The fact that there was an adult there who didn't realise what was going on, how was the gymnast able to think that it was wrong? 3. Over the years, starting from 1988, some gymnasts did report Nassar's abuse but no legal action was taken and some adults in whom they confided turned a blind eye. 4. Larry Nassar was a renowned doctor, he had been the National gymnastics doctor for YEARS. Everyone praised him, everyone loved him. How were these young girls going to say that someone whom all coaches admired was abusing them? 5. The culture of silence and fear created by USAG, especially at the Karolyi Ranch made Nassar seem like the nicest person. The coaches were tough, strict, and many of them abusive. This made Nassar seem like the right person in whom to confide. At the Karolyi Ranch the food was disgusting and the gymnasts used to starve themselves. Larry was the one who brought them food, grooming them. He also let them compete injured which many gymnasts were thankful for. Mckayla Maroney even said that if it weren't for him she wouldn't have competed at the Olympics with a broken toe. 6. Many coaches didn't use to believe their gymnasts when they said they were in pain. How were these gymnasts going to tell them that the national team doctor was abusing them? 7. Martha Karolyi and other coaches made it clear that anyone who was problematic or difficult was going to be taken off the national team. Aly Raisman said that for this reason the gymnasts were afraid to ask for a bar of soap at the Karolyi Ranch. These young girls had their dreams in the hands of powerful adults who could end their Olympic dreams with a snap of their fingers. Nobody wanted to be the problematic gymnast. Hence, everyone stayed silent. My point is, this culture of FEAR gave way to a culture of SILENCE and that is why many gymnasts never spoke up. They had to SACRIFICE so much for their Olympic dreams, and some didn't even make it. The fact that Nassar, this abusive system and coaches completely destroyed these girls mentally, physically and emotionally hurts my heart. I hope change is in order. It needs to be.

Aly,you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Tipsey_Tunes]

Holy crap let Aly speak!!! I understand you’re on timed segments but stop interrupting her!

[@TGTismo]

Dear Today, FIRE THIS INTERVIEWER. She kept rudely interrupting as if she knew more than Aly. Shut up and get out.

[@Geoff1231]

Aly is amazing. They complained for years about his abuse to USG. USG should prepare itself for a wave of lawsuits and settlements. Oh and Megyn Kelly, please fire this lady. Horrible interviewer- STOP interrupting people!! SMH

[@bombdottcom111]

So true about having courage and dignity to hold your ground instead of going along with the herd of sheep lying to yourself and kidding your self about who the aggressor is as a person behind closed doors. Reputation is a perspective game. People can seem nice but be mean, vice versa even!

[@nick3367]

Lmfao, the subtitles bring up Kevin Spacey... what a coincidence!! 2:10 - 2:17 LMAOOOO!!
