“Now that I have a daughter\u2026 I want the future of women\u2019s gymnastics and women\u2019s sports in general to have fairness,” Mykayla\u00a0said<\/a>, explaining her motivation to come forward now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“There have been multiple times throughout my Olympic journey\u2026 where she has come and belittled all of us\u2026I wanted to stay silent\u2026 because she has a huge platform,” she\u00a0added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mykayla described one instance<\/a>\u00a0during the last Olympic cycle as a tipping point. After posting a commentary video about the Olympic trials at the request of fans, she said a clip from it was taken out of context and went viral, leading to intense online backlash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She claimed her publicist even received hate and threats as a result, and despite reaching out to Simone and other teammates, she said no one responded. “It was really hard. I felt so isolated,” Mykayla\u00a0recalled<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
