After All That Bullying, Celebs & Fans Are Reaching Out in Support of Gabby Douglas

Although Gabby Douglas is one of the greatest gymnasts of all times she is still subject to an incredible amount of hate. From people trolling her about her hair at the Olympics to her not putting her hand over her heart for the National Anthem, it’s safe to say that the haters are really trying to kill her Olympic mood. 


Thankfully, she has a team of loyal fans who are there to back her up no matter what. After Douglas revealed that the hate is “a lot to deal with,” many fans, including Shonda Rhimes and Chelsea Clinton, have been reaching out to her to show their support according to ESPN, and seriously, it is so sweet.

 

 

 

 

Douglas finally responded to the support with gratitude last night. You can just feel the love from here!
