McKayla Maroney Accuses Dr. Larry Nassar Of Sexually Abusing Her
The sweaty, slimy and sexually abusive Harvey Weinstein scandal has set off a wave of women coming forward to share their harrowing experiences on social media via the hashtag #MeToo. “Me Too” began as a creation of Tarana Burke back in 2007 in an effort to support sexual abuse survivors.
McKayla Maroney rose to fame in the 2012 London Olympics when she won both gold and silver medals. She also became virally popular when memes of her now-infamous “not impressed” face became everybody’s favorite thing online.
Early this morning, McKayla revealed that while she was winning medals and enjoying celebrity, she was suppressing a dark secret. She freed herself of that burden in a letter she posted to Twitter.

For those unaware of Dr. Larry Nassar, he is currently in prison after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography in addition to being accused of sexually abusing over 100 and young girls. He’s set to be sentenced between 22-27 years in prison next month.

We personally hope that Dr. Nassar and everyone like him rots in prison, then in Hell.
