Her worries about her brand and image have caused her to damage her brand and image.

I don't even get this explanation in refusing to sit for a deposition for two plaintiffs who sued the same hip replacement provider she sued, unless her brand and image was just being being a run-of-the-mill dick.

Truth is, though, that two or four mil probably ain't going far.  You know she has a million-dollar-plus house and a good chunk in cars, too.

If an employer ain't footing most of the bill, that shit's expensive.  So, she probably didn't have health insurance.  But it was mostly a matter of choice.

Still grifty.

NBA players Gold medal winning gymnasts with huge endorsement contracts, announcing careers, and well-careered ex-husbands make a lot of money.  But they spend a lot of money, too.

Paying for insurance sucks until you need it. Then when you need it they fight you on things. I had melanoma several years back and it’s a hoot…funny ha ha…with how they look at me. It’s fucking  fabulous. This whole Mary Lou story is like the Blind Side stuff. Dig under the surface of what appears to be a wholesome story and yuck.

it wouldn’t surprise me if she was anti-vax. Certainly not at all anti Obama care or insurance. Need the money to stock her bar and probably the butler’s pantry. I bet she has hooch hidden in drawers and closets all over her mansion. Literally. 

The space time continuum has been fucked by Covid. It’s not like we weren’t in our separate camps before that but now it’s irretrievably fucking broken. The people I pushed into Lady Bird Lake should be grateful they aren’t dealing with all this. They’d be ravaged like the swamp man from all the algae anyway. Like a superhuman but molting. 

Mary Lou looks pretty bad. Didn’t know about her hip shit but she seems like someone who could put away 48 Zima’s without breaking stride or even getting a buzz. That’s what’s tragic. I just don’t like all the go fund me crap people are abusing. It’s like every day is a new one and some are really needed. Mary Lou made her decisions but because of her fame she doesn’t have to pay for them (via medical bills) and won’t learn a damn thing from this. Yuck.

She is ~1½ years younger than me but seems to have "smokers lips" type creases.

& As to her crowdsourced fundraiser... imagine, getting large masses or people to share in your medical expenses (socialism).

I'm sure she will look a little better when she gets off oxygen and can take a shower and put on makeup.

Boy, she really handsprung'd her way into fringe, batshit mediocrity and won't be around to stick the landing.  Kudos to her and her family though for taking advantage of the stupids and getting rich doing it.  A fisherman always sees another fisherman from afar.

By all accounts, Retton has the money or assets to pay for her medical bills. If she gambled without insurance, she should take the hit. Now maybe it's possible that while she was unable to make decisions in the hospital, her daughter made the wrong choice to beg for money but Retton is in a place to correct that mistake. 

I also doubt we see many more Retton interviews unless it's like with an entertainment reporter or perhaps on ABC's coverage of the Olympics. With any real reporter, Retton won't be able to explain her recent lie that she couldn't get insurance because of pre-existing conditions. And if she couldn't afford insurance due to low income, the govt helps with that.

Retton is the first American woman to win a gold medal in individual all-around gymnastics. Her arrest comes nearly two years after she was in the ICU with a rare form of pneumonia.

Her daughter, McKenna Kelley, announced that she was hospitalized in October 2023 in a post on her Instagram Story which included a link to a Spotfund page dedicated to her mom.

"My amazing mom, Mary Lou, has a very rare form of pneumonia and is fighting for her life. She is not able to breathe on her own. She’s been in the ICU for over a week now. Out of respect for her and her privacy, I will not disclose all details. However, I will disclose that she not insured," said Kelley.

I’d believe that. She and her husband Shannon sat right in front of us at the Bleachergate game at UH back in the day. First CFB game we went to that sold beer. She comes back to her seat with 4 beers, holding them with her fingers in the cups. Some UH fans start giving her shit, she whirled around and ripped into them, without spilling a drop. If she’d have had a cigarette dangling from her lips, she would have been 100% Texan (or…a shorter version of my mom, a true class act). It was awesome…but gal could drink. She’d already had several brewpops by that point.

I wonder if she will do another crowd funding effort for her legal fees. You might recall that she raised half a milly for her pneumonia a few years back, raising lots of eyebrows.

If she was one of the ones molested by that Larry Nasser guy at her coaches training center in Texas, I am definitely gonna give her a pass for how she dealt with the trauma.

He was 4 when she was born.  Probably... I think... maybe... probably didn't happen with her.

A neighbor here had a "heart attack", and his family started a go fund me.   

A month or so later, they remodeled their kitchen and built a new deck.

It was close, though.  She retired in 1986, which was the year he started working with national team.  I have no idea if they crossed paths.
