Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles revealed for the first time publicly that she is taking medicine to treat anxiety after revealing she was sexually abused by disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar.
“I’m on anxiety medicine now because I had a lot of ups and downs throughout the year and trying to figure out what was wrong,” Biles said Tuesday on “Good Morning America.” “I go to therapy pretty regularly.”
“It’s not easy but the people surrounding me are some of the best so it makes it a little easier,” she added.
Biles, 21, was one of dozens of gymnasts who spoke out about the rampant sexual abuse by Nassar, who was sentenced in January to up to 175 years in prison.
“I’ve felt a bit broken and the more I try to shut off the voice in my head the louder it screams,” Biles wrote on Twitter in January, with the hashtag #MeToo. “I am not afraid to tell my story anymore.”
