“The minute I come home, I can’t even go to my goddamn favorite place,” she said of her sudden rise to fame.

“It makes you angry. I just wanted a day where I was left alone. And it’s impossible.”

“I appreciate that everyone loves and supports me, but I just wish people could understand what I was going through up to that point. Everyone was like, ‘I just met her, and she’s such a bitch.’ I’m not a bitch. I just had the most exhausting two months of my life, and the minute I get home I’m getting hassled,” she continued, adding “I just want to get my f–king ham and cheese sandwich and go.”

She went on to say that she resented the massive change in her life so much that she threw the medal in the trash, but not forever.

It eventually came out of the garbage, and her attitude has since changed.

“I don’t care anymore…I guess I would tell my younger self that even though things get hard and people are mean to you or whatever, it’ll get better and you’re going to realize that you have so much good happening in your life, that the bad isn’t going to hurt you.”

“It’s just annoying,” she added. “It’s like an annoying mosquito in the background, just flying around.”

There was a recent announcement regarding protocol at the 2022 Olympics.
