[@ebogar42]

Simone is more brave for her battle with twisties.

To Aly and to all those who have fallen victims in the hands of demon Larry Nasser--I strongly suggest that you all get together and write a letter to President Biden A

@@ebogar42, this isn’t a competition. Both of them were brave. Simone was one of his victims, too.

[@gretchendemasi768]

Aly you are an empath. You take on others pain, you feel their pain while feeling your own. Sounds like you are aware and are taking steps to heal yourself. You are amazing and so many people look up to you. A true humanitarian, go get them Aly!!

[@ebogar42]

I'm not. I don't feel anyones pain and don't want to. Sounds stressful. I don't want to feel raped ever. 😂

[@belu2438]

This girl is everything, thank you so much for your words♥️

[@shannonlee9693]

I love that she is one of the only people speaking out saying it’s okay to be mad. I know it sounds negative but it’s not sometimes part of healing is letting it out and part of that is being mad. She is amazing.

[@DanceDaily]

Yahoo, I commend you for giving this topic coverage. NOW keep reporting until USA Gymanstics and the Olympics are held accountable too. Thank you.

[@geraldstamour1312]

As a sexual abuse survivor myself, I applaud the courage of Aly Raisman in sharing her story. An absolute TIGRESS!

[@donaldholderdoc2910]

Can you imagine what she could have achieved if she hadn't had to endure the mental anguish as she was competing on the international stage? She already won 3 Golds, imagine her concentration level if she hasn't been assaulted AT the Olympics. She could have won 8 all those years combined. SOOOO freaking strong young Lady. All my respect. Love the interviewer.

Zainab Salbi, THANK YOU I HONOR YOUR for doing this interview. This is real and loving journalism.

She is such an inspiration

We are standing with you ❤️❤️❤️

[@lilg3514]

I had the same “pull up” bullying from boys in middle school (due to my upper body strength from gymnastics). I was small too, so they in tandem bullied that. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thankfully, I knew what I could do in the gym. I had a completely different world that my classmates didn’t know about and that gave me confidence. In any case, Aly is incredibly impressive. I am particularly impressed in her maturity as it relates to caring for herself in post -retirement. It’s definitely a big change, but she’s strong, thoughtful, and intelligent. I’m sure she will find peace. ❤️

[@jaxs2384]

[@ralex3697]

They should all be held accountable for not reporting him to the police. The enablers need to be held responsible, they are just as guilty. Still going on, so a long way to go.

They were children...

[@taylors445]

@@MyAGChannel-qf1ci I think they are referring to the adults who were told about Larry and the abuse and then chose to either not believe or cover up for him.

[@TRISMUSIK]

Aly. What a gorgeous, strong young lady.

[@togetherone8919]

We are here standing with you and when I say standing with you I mean standing tall. I was raised by a single mother that was abused so I got to see it firsthand and what it does so all my adult life I was pretty much raised by all women and I got to see how strong and amazing and how capable and equal they are to men. In my ❤️ since I was very young I have this calling in my heart to shine God's light upon women and help with fair pay and equality and to stop abuse to all women young are old and however I could be of help. We LOVE you are sisters ❤️❤️❤️

[@brendakauffman2222]

We need a full independent investigation of the whole system, MSU and OPC, and USAG. When a child reports sexual abuse or abuse of power, it needs to be taken seriously. It needs to be followed through and reported, not drawered and buried.

[@DanceDaily]

Since 1997 until 2016, so many people turned a blind eye and he was allowed to keep abusing. WHAT?! "all we needed was one adult to have the integrity to stand between us and larry nasser"

[@bobbyc.1111]

thank you for sharing and the interviewer has a book between two worlds. I recommend this,

[@Candyfloss701]

Love her! Good on her for pushing for change

[@loletafiler3924]

So articulate and such a strong person. So sorry this happened to her and others. She can be such are strong rule model and can be the voice for all gymnast going forward .

[@sharonsekhon9475]

It's 2021 and the Olympics are on but no one is talking about this. It's like the sports commentators, the Olympic Committee, and Gymnastics USA have amnesia.

[@mandalorian8005]

it's bad for business I guess

[@SaritWorld]

We live in a world where every woman and child is familiar with some form of sexual abuse. This is disgusting and taking the toll on us all.

[@PhilipSteeves]

An amazing young woman!

[@bg9217]

Aly, HOW F-ING DARE ANYBODY THAT TOLD U TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS!!! I'm a 50 year former gymnast and u inspire me. When I'm feeling down I watch your floor routine at Rio and London. I was abused and you should never stop voicing your opinion and story to anyone or everyone!! No, jail is not enough for this monster. Never feel you're in the wrong. When you get older you will be glad you didn't let it go. Find new friends who will never tell you to stop!! Many people love and adore you, more then you know. 👋👋👍👍😘❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@youtmeme]

I feel for her and the other girls who want to change things. What shes feeling is apathy. Ppl today are.conditioned to be intensely involved in an issue or two, then let off after some time. It's up to her and the other girls to be vigilant of the issues that matter to them and make them important when they come up. They must make others aware bc ppl forget or give up. Hopefully some of them, if they're interested, can change the system by becoming involved and hopefully run the system for better change.

Thank you. Any form of sexual abuse ,. Changes a person forever

[@togetherone8919]

These physical assaults upon women needs to stop now and I can't do it on my own we are stronger together then we are alone so all the good men out there that respect and love women they give birth to our children and their beauty and strength what they're capable of talent-wise and at work and let me remind you they are responsible for giving birth to our children and to nurture them and help guide them in their lives. God chose women to give life I know this might sound weird but it is a blessing to give life and be chosen to do so by God . I am a man and I'm calling out to all the good men to stick up for fellow sisters and stand by their side and support them in any way they need or want. If you see something stop it call the cops and help defuse The situation the best you. I pray right now God that all these violence in this world and these attack violently on women has to stop and I pray that she will stop I pray that you will protect men and women with your guardian angels in your hand of protection and I pray that we can end violence and come together as brothers and sisters and help each other not destroy each other because if we keep doing this we won't have anybody any more communities and it could get out of control real quick so let's stop it (NOW)♥️♥️♥️✝️

With education with watching each other's back communication letting a friend know where you're going.

[@steveedward7572]

There are too many people involved too stupid about sex for too many years. It's hard to grasp. And your not allowed to ask questions. Sex abuse takes about 1/2 a second realize and you know who did it. Money makes it easy to talk about.

You are the coward, You cant show your picture or your real name and you sit behind a screen victim blaming innocent children. Did you not hear what she said? she said that every girl told and absolutely nothing happened, USA gymnastics covered it up and so did the FBI and the police, do you not understand not one part of what happened was the fault of the victims they were scared and confused about what Nasser was doing he was a doctor and they trusted him he molested children I'm not sure how u think it's ok to blame a child or anyone for being abused!!
