A Gold Medal For Attention Seeking

September 27, 2021 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] This female athlete certainly knows how to draw attention to herself!

There were high expectations for her for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.

She was deemed an early favorite to take home a gold medal.

Unfortunately, she became more of a poster child for controversy than for athletics.

Whether you support her or find her actions questionable, you have to admit that she certainly knows how to put herself in the spotlight to draw attention to herself.

Anyway, her personal life is about to make some new headlines!

She is planing to come out as gay.

It will be very choreographed and the media will be involved through the whole process to make sure that she gets maximum exposure and that all her sponsors stay in place.

The narrative will be that she is brave. Anyone who contradicts that narrative will be named and shamed.

Athletic skill aside, it looks like our athlete is ready to claim the gold medal for attention-seeking!

    This has Simone Biles written ALL over it. I feel bad for all she, and the others, went through with Nasser. Its horrible and will forever change their lives. I just wonder what is genuine with her.

      Simone has a pretty cute bf. I’m going with Osaka.

      I assume if she (or anyone) comes out as gay, it is genuine and even possibly under pressure to beat a “shock revelation” tabloid story as many celebrities have had to do.

      I don’t think it’s Simone Biles. One can hardly be considered “drawing attention” to oneself if they’re the greatest athlete to ever participate in their sport and it’s not even close.

    • PatioPrincess says

      October 2, 2021 at 11:19 pm

      This is either the attention seeking, throw everyone else under the bus, gymnast Simone Biles, or, it’s the dimwit runner with the orange hair and the weird name shakira who wasn’t bright enough to stay off the drugs. Both are uninteresting, as was the whole Tokyo Olymipic cluster-eff. I’m losing interest in traditional “entertainment” and prefer Youtube etc.

    • PatioPrincess says

      October 2, 2021 at 11:24 pm

      For a moment I thought of the tennis gal, that’s bigger than her husband and wears tutu’s but, she is retired I think….there are so many weirdo athletes and entertainers it’s becoming the norm. LOL, and the entertainment industry worries about their future……go figure.

    I can’t even think of her name now (& I’m not being sarcastic). But, yes I’m surprised. I thought she was dating a pro football star–but that could be a cover for both of them. I wish she hadn’t gone to Tokyo so that another gymnast could’ve had the experience.

  4. katekatekate says

    September 28, 2021 at 9:33 am

    Simone Biles.

    “The narrative will be that she is brave. Anyone who contradicts that narrative will be named and shamed.” Funny how often we see this play out. Biles, Osaka, Markle, the list goes on.

    Simone Biles

    Yes, it surprises me, but it makes all the weirdness around the Olympics make a bit more sense. As someone who’s a little gay myself, I understand the pressure to keep that part of your life hidden. There are still parts of our society who attack LGBTQ folks simply for existing, However, I can’t IMAGINE the pressure on someone with as huge a profile as she has. Eventually it can become too much for even the strongest folks. 100% support her!!!

    Simone Biles

    It’s hard for me to judge a 24 year old for quitting. I was responsible, but
    I wasn’t mature at that age. I don’t hold it against her for quitting Tokyo.

    A little surprised about her coming out, didn’t see it, but don’t care. Kirsten Stewart did it the best way. Just started openly dating rather than make announcements and speeches. There’s really no need for the fanfare.

    Simone Biles? She’s the only one I can think of at the top of my head who had some controversy going on. She’s going to have to explain away that boyfriend of hers if it is her, which will be interesting.

  12. SilentWhisper666 says

    Sha’Carri Richardson who failed her drugs test after testing positive for Marijuana

    This could be interesting because she’s allegedly has internalised homophobia

    September 28, 2021 at 4:15 am

    This has Naomi Osaka written all over it.
    [Optional] No, it doesn’t really come as a surprise, she emanates this energy from all her pores. I don’t like her attention seeking ways and the lack of professionalism.

  14. pumpkinjuice says

    September 28, 2021 at 2:29 am

    It’s Simona Biles for sure.. all the issues (mental health, homosexuality) are very important to talk about BUT I get Markle vibes from her… when these issues are raised wrong way it can become counterproductive.

    September 28, 2021 at 2:10 am

    Simone Biles. [Optional] I don’t know what to think but I don’t think “coming out” should be conflated with her backing out of the olympics. Especially since high profile women athletes have come out for decades, maintaining strong careers and status.

  17. aaaJoana says

    Naomi Osaka or Simone Biles.

    Both of them are attention-seeking divas who use the ‘mental health’ card when things don’t go their way.

    Simone Biles (sp?). I don’t have a personal opinion about her. While I do think sexual preferences are a personal thing and don’t need to be dragged out in the public, I also think it’s still necessary to remind people that being gay is normal and nothing that needs to ask for permission or acceptance. *

    • IamnotMe says

      September 28, 2021 at 3:54 pm

      This! 💕 Except that it’s not a preference. It’s an orientation. Preference implies choice and most individual’s are born or form the seeds of their orientation very early on. I’d also say it’s not a matter of dragging anything out. Sexuality in any form isn’t relevant in this context.

    Simone Biles.

    Doesn’t she have a boyfriend? Or is she just going to claim that she’s a member of the LGBT community, but happens to have a boyfriend? Either way, her attention seeking is appalling. I hope people see through it.

    Naomi Osaka. She’s let all of her causes get in the way of her game, as she bombed at the Olympics and U.S. Open. She needs to get her mind back on tennis or she’s going to go the way of Colin Kaepernick, where his social justice issues became a distracting from his play. She’ll end up becoming a woke heroine and probab

    Naomi Osaka – she needs to quit tennis or get on board with interviews. It’s part of the job. You want the money and sponsorships, you’ve gotta deal with it. Otherwise, go get a job making 60K as a librarian or teacher or chef or other regular person job.

    I thought she had a very mature attitude about her suspension. She took it a lot better than some of her fans did, definitely. Other than that, I don’t know much else about her.

    September 27, 2021 at 3:41 pm

    You have got to be kidding. Simone Biles. how are gay people okay with this? this person is hijacking your cause and you are letting her. I hope this leads to backlash against her and the gay community. Don’t support someone who is riding your coattails to support their selfish desire to be seen.

  63. passtta says

    This isn’t surprising. I figured she would try to salvage her career somehow.

    I think she is trash and brings the caliber of an Olympic althete to a new low. Like Ryan Lochte. Except Ryan actually won medals.

    Nothing surprises me anymore. But, it does aggravate me that people think their sex life is any of our business. I don’t go around bragging that I’m straight so why do they?

  74. Midsomerfan says

    September 27, 2021 at 2:17 pm

    I am guessing Naomi Osaka because I believe Simone Biles (my first thought) is dating a male football player.
    Does coming out as gay in the year 2021 require incredible bravery? I can’t imagine who she expects to criticize her? To use this for publicity and the enhancement of her image (‘she’s so brave, wow!’) seems wrong from my point of view.

  75. Ramblingirl says

    September 27, 2021 at 2:09 pm

    The tennis phenomenon who turned out to be a dud and a hysterical mess.

    I can’t even look up her name that’s how little I care.

    It’s a shame though, that other athletes were overshadowed by her histrionics.

    Sha’Carri Whatever, I’m guessing.

    Once she’s done coming out, will she still be the same obnoxious also-ran? And will speaking her truth mean she can swear off the skunk bud before a race? Fingers crossed.
