Gabby Douglas Said She Made History So Worry About Your Own Damn Hair!

Okay, so she didn't exactly say it like that but that's how she meant it. In an interview with Associate Press, Gabby talks about being confused over the controversy of her own hair.

Via Huffington Post

"I don't know where this is coming from. What's wrong with my hair?" said Douglas, the first U.S. gymnast to win gold in team and all-around competition. "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 (my) hair."

Douglas uses gel, clips and a ponytail holder to keep things in place while she competes, a style she's worn for years.

"Nothing is going to change," she said. "I'm going to wear my hair like this during beam and bar finals. You might as well just stop talking about it."

The bubbly teenager is the first African-American gymnast to win her sport's biggest prize. She had no idea she was lighting up social media until she Googled herself hours after winning her gold medal.

"I don't think people should be worried about that," she said. "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."

Crazy thing is, I may be the only person the planet that doesn't see what the fuss is about her hair. Even if she hadn't made history, I don't get what the problem is. She has thick hair, full edges and a great length. What's the issue here? I'm sorry, with all of the women who have their edges on life support, I can't possibly fix my mind to see anything wrong with Gabby's hair. Is it not as slick as people want it to be? Is it because of the clips and gel that she uses to keep her hair out of her face while she's out there WINNING? She is 16 years old and sweating out her hair daily. She has the rest of her life to be concerned about Indian Remy weave. Til then, she's going to keep counting those Corn Flakes dollars and stunting while the haters stay mad.

Me frustrated? not one bit. I have enough self love. Just because I said I'm slapping you? Please that has nothing to do with lack of self love or anger. It's your asinine comment. Stop veering off course and FOCUS.  It's comical you keep spewing that nonsense when you won't admit you were wrong to say that about Gabby and her hair. Now I request you give her an apology and move on.

@oldspice...same comment I left siren was for you as well. I'm sure you read it. I still think she should hire a personal assistant and a cosmologist and a loan counsler for her mom. They just filed bankrputy. So, no you can invest more time on me on not yourself. You self esteem issues need professional help. You seem to hold on to slot of resentments.Definely not good forbtge soul.

girl, you didnt say a damn thing about a PA, a cosmetologist, or a loan counselor. You said "beautician". BWAHAHA.

Her family finances weren't the subject of the convo and neither is that the reason everyone is giving you major side-eye. 

Just stop, you make no sense.

@goldie,oldspice..Yall need to find balance in yourselves.You both seem to suffer from being open minded.Your thinking is so limited. Y'all seem real analytical. Stop tryna analyze everything. Your tryna control the uncontrollable. Your losing your sense of focus. Your nagging and nagging isn't cute.
