Lolo Jones Heartbroken By NY Times Saying She's All 'Image'

While her team mates were asking the media to give them some attention, Lolo Jones was doing an interview of her own. She had an emotional sit down with TODAY where she discussed the backlash of the media focusing on her looks and not feeling appreciated for the accolades she's won.

Looking at this makes me see where the other two girls were coming from. Lolo came in 4th place and no offense but, there is no reason to interview the 4th place runner. It's definitely clear Lolo was a favorite. It's sad because she didn't choose how she looks but the girl has also got to develop some thicker skin. When you make yourself so publicly available you take the good with the bad. When it was TEAM LOLO and she was on Twitter everyday, things were good. Now that she didn't place and everyone is wondering what the hype was about, it's not worth the tears. She should be thrilled she made it this far and work harder for 2016. So Lolo, toughen up! We wanted you to win, you didn't. Such is life.

It's sad that her own teammates are bashing her. Come on USA. LoLo here's dome words of advice... Everything you do and everything that crossed your path- people, situations, ideas,-all have the potential to contribute to your growth and understanding.More will defenitely be revealed when the time is right.

Ok..this is the when the stong black woman part kicks in and you tell them all to kiss a crusty crack.  Put on your Mary J Blige No More Drama and get ready for 2016.  Good Luck.

I can understand where the other 2 were coming from, but that just made them look petty and childish. Don't tell people their story wasn't good enough because you  got a medal and they didn't . She made it to the finals and that is a big accomplishment. Just take your shine and be positive, not kick the girl while she down.
