Ok I've listened to part of the podcast : no, Jessica, you are not a victim of the gymternet. Saying "ahaha send me your hate mail" is so dismissive. Grasping at anything to save Val is really bad and ACTIVELY silences ppl who may have suffered from her practices recently. 1/
The comparison with addicts is ignorant, offensive and hurtfull. Abuse disproportionally leads to addiction. Addiction comes in many forms and does not always resemble what you see on TV. It is an illness, and usually not something your resolve by isolating ppl............. 2/
Alyssa and all the gymnasts that may have been abused by Val deserve better than this pathetic attempt to say that she has changed and that it's a two sided story and blahblahblah. This sucks AF and is 100% victim blaming. She should have shut the fuck up.
If Val actually HAS changed (which, come on, her book ? the fatshaming ?), it is in no situation ever Jessica's place to say so. Like. Lol, who does she think she is.
