McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman, two of Douglas’ ex-teammates on the “Fierce Five” team that won gold at the 2012 Olympics in London, have also come forward in the past month and said that they were abused by Nassar.
The 21-year-old Douglas was recently in the news after being criticized for a controversial response to a social media post on sexual abuse by Raisman, something that she also addressed in the above statement.
