You guys forget that after the all around so many newspapers were digging things up about gabby ( her mom's financial history, dad's arrest), I definitely won't think less of Simone if she starts sharing more about her story and hardships because it not about milking it but about telling her own story accurately and on her own terms."
That's a good point, telling it first before a rumor mill starts. Such a shame that's the world we live in. Gabby tried to present her father as this military guy she was proud of and then the whole story changed. I hope the media doesn't try to find Simone's mom, though I'm sure they will. I remember the Russian media even found the birth parents of some American paralympians.
