It's a shame how fast women bushed her. Black women for her hair, and white women because she beat that white girl in the all around.

Yes, Gabby Douglas has faced ridicule from other black women, particularly concerning her hair during and after the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games, which was often criticized as unkempt or unfashionable, a focus that many found sexist and hypocritical given the beauty standards black women face. She also experienced racism and bullying from a fellow gymnast during her early training, where she was called a "slave".

Hair Ridicule
- 2012 London Olympics:
Following her historic all-around gold medal win, Douglas's hair became a focal point of negative discussion on social media, with some black women criticizing it for being messy or not styled well enough, according to Kathleen McElroy on ISOJ.
- 2016 Rio Olympics:
The criticism resurfaced during the 2016 Olympics, with Douglas again being the subject of negative comments about her hair, despite her continued success, notes Allure Magazine.
- Impact:
The pressure and public criticism, often from other black women, were hurtful and caused Douglas emotional distress, even leading her to cry over her damaged hair and the racist online comments, according to Salon.com.
- Virginia Gym:
Douglas spoke about experiencing racism and bullying from a fellow gymnast while training in Virginia, which made her feel isolated and question her place, reports The Black Youth Project.
- "Slave" Comment:
The hurtful comments included a fellow gymnast referring to her as their "slave," a deeply traumatic experience for Douglas, according to The Black Youth Project and In These Times.
- Double Standard:
The scrutiny Douglas faced highlights a broader double standard for black female athletes, who are often judged more harshly on their appearance than white athletes, according to Allure Magazine.
- Internalized Beauty Standards:
The criticism of Douglas's hair by some black women also reflects a larger issue of internalized beauty standards that impact black women's perceptions of themselves and their hair, according to Black Enterprise and Salon.com.

She used to only wear her real hair, but after getting so much hate from other women she started wearing wigs. She’s the first black woman to win gold in both the individual all around and the team gymnastics, but instead of celebrating that, people were too busy bullying her over her hair to even care that she made history. The same thing happened with Blue Ivy too.
After what she went through, that natural hair is never seeing daylight again

And I don’t remember if shorty had mental health issues or not.
The marks on her arm makes it seems like she was cutting herself
