I'm not one to run from a good discussion so let's talk about it! :) O.k, Gabby was born to be an Olympian! Since she was a little girl, she showed a love for gymnastics. By the time she was 6 years old her mother, Natalie Hawkins help nurture her daughters dream. Gabby began formal gymnastics training, and by the age of 8 years old, Gabby won a state Championship! In 2010, Gabby moved away from her hometown to further her dream. Training with world renowned Olympic trainer Liang Chow, she mastered her skills and was selected to compete with the 2012 Women's Gymnastic Team at the 2012 Summer Olympics. And as we all know, she has made world history for becoming the 1st African American female to win the all around event! Outstanding Gabby!!
After all of the celebrating and accolades that young Gabby experienced on the day of great victory, Gabby gets home and goes to her computer, googles her name, to find that many are having a good ole time cracking jokes about her hair, instead of appreciating that she has just accomplished something that no one has ever done before!
"I don't know where this is coming from. What's wrong with my hair? I'm like, I just made history and people are focused on my hair? It can be bald or short, it doesn't matter about hair. Nothing is going to change, I'm going to wear my hair like this during beam and bar finals. You might as well just stop talking about it. I don't think people should be worried about that, we're all champions and we're all winners. I just say that it's kind of, a stupid and crazy thought to think about my hair." said Douglas.
I 100% agree with you Gabby! You said it best! Personally, I see nothing wrong with your hair. It looks like the timeless pulled back look that all gymnast wear! What the hell? This young 16 year old has just made history!! Who cares about her pulled back hair that is in a pony tail, that when looking at it, could use some gel, a little holding spray, stronger relaxer, and a little less oil!! Just kidding folks. :)
To add insult to injury our ever probing nosie ass TMZ folks are looking all through Natalie Hawkins, the mother of Gabby Douglas's personal affairs and exposing it for the world to see. SMDH!! Reporting that she filed for bankruptcy and several other financial issues in vast detail! This is ridiculous! First of all that is none of our business about Natalie's finances, secondly and most importantly, at the end of the day Ms. Gabby Douglas with all of her outstanding talent has endorsement deals coming at her left, right, up and down and stands to make millions of dollars! Her mother did what she had to do to insure that her daughter lived her life doing what she loves, and sometimes that means sacrifices, emotionally as well as financially. Great job Natalie Hawkins! And I must say that all of your sacrifices has paid off, and any financial struggles that you have had to endure are behind you now and I wish you, Gabby, and the rest of your family nothing but the very best!
Did Scrappy propose to Erica Dixon and Dump Shay "Buckee" Johnson at the L&HHATL Reunion taping?
