Sydney McLaughlin Shares What She Has Experienced From So called Friends After The Olympics

[Foodmanchronicles]

I’m light skin too and trust me, I will show love and support to her!

[jobnation]

There is always a certain jealousy when a successful person is also beautiful.

[warrenreed]

Sydney earned everything she has. She is very talented and deserves so much respect.

[clevelandbci]

Sydney, you're my little girl's hero. She didn't pick you out because you're light-skinned. She picked you out because she wants to be you one day: A classy and beautiful champion. Period.

[debjean]

Ignore the haters. They are jealous because you are a great athlete and you are so pretty. Some people wish they could just be pretty. So many people are proud of you.

I've met Sydney several times. She is the most humble down to earth phenom!! As a high school student best runner her age in the Nation she was still sweet kind and loveable. She works hard and deserves everything she has earned!!! Yes she's gifted and believes in God, being beautiful has nothing to do with running outrageous times. We will continue to pray for her and support her. Much respect

Track is the most objective sport. It’s either you get the time or not. There’s no judges that can be bias when scoring. It’s upsetting to see how many haters she has for being 2x gold medal Olympian 🤦🏽‍♀️

[clevelandbci]

Meanwhile a lady who threw away her Olympic dream to smoke weed gets 10X the recognition, while this champion is crying. What is WRONG with

[juliao]

Imagine being judged for your dark skin. But then also being judged because your dark skin isn’t dark enough. I’m not a fan of Sydney’s because of her looks or skin or anything superficial. I’m a fan because of her skill and accomplishments. She is so talented and has an amazing personality to go with it.

Girl please don't cry, it comes with the territory.. you are young but you will quickly learn how to handle it with ease as you live this life journey and continue on your path of greatness. Keep your circle small and your God big. Congratulations queen, stay focused & blessed!

[lovely]

she is a beautiful girl who has the most jealous, exhausting friends. she deserves better, she needs to see how amazing she is

[mr.imperfect]

No of that has anything to do with your running. Let them hate and keep winning!!

[sandrap]

Jealousy is a hell of a thing. She is amazing!!!!

[airuniverse]

I empathize with Syd's frustrations.
Remember, your dignity and soul are priceless. Block the noise and stand with TMH!
Haters are gonna hate cuz they got nothing better to do and deep down wish they were are dignified as you. Be good to you!

[nykka]

I’m glad she stayed away from social media during the Olympics.

[JLowe]

She is a true role model, trail blazer and fantastic woman.

[coreybedell]

People are just jealous. Don’t let them take you down mentally.
