McKayla Maroney Is Allowed to Testify Against Larry Nassar, USA Gymnastics Says

USA Gymnastics will not fine McKayla Maroney if she decides to speak out against her alleged abuser Larry Nassar during his sentencing hearing.

There has been an uproar after it was revealed that an NDA signed by McKayla would cause her to be fined $100,000 if she were to speak out about the abuse she experienced. Several celebs announced they would pay for the fine if the former gymnast chose to speak up.

“USA Gymnastics has not sought and will not seek any money from McKayla Maroney for her brave statements made in describing her victimization and abuse by Larry Nassar, nor for any victim impact statements she wants to make to Larry Nassar at this hearing or at any subsequent hearings related to his sentencing,” the organization told USA Today. “This has been her right and USA Gymnastics encourages McKayla and anyone who has been abused to speak out. USA Gymnastics remains focused on our highest priority – the safety, health and well-being of our athletes and creating a culture that empowers and supports them.”
