'In connection with the mass defamation and lies about me in the media, I believe my loyal fans and all those who have supported me for years deserve a few words of explanation,' she wrote at the outset. In her post, the athlete stated she has been the subject of unjustified attacks for over a year. She also criticized the way her image is presented in the media, pointing out the practice of publishing her photos with her eyes covered, which she believes is hypocritical in the context of simultaneously detailing her private life.
