McKayla Maroney Talks Publicly About Larry Nassar for First Time

McKayla Maroney is one of the many people who have accused doctor Larry Nassar of abuse and now she’s speaking out for the first time publicly.

The 22-year-old gymnast made a rare appearance while attending the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children Luncheon on Tuesday afternoon (April 17) in New York City.

“We knew that Larry was a monster, and learning from everything that has come out, I never should have met him. The USA Gymnastics, MSU and the USOC continued to look away to protect their reputations. All they cared about was money, medals, and it didn’t seem like there was anything else,” McKayla said (via Page Six).

She added, “The cool thing about social media is that so many people at that time were speaking up. I felt like, This is my moment.”
