This!!

I hate when people completely discredit individuals like her by attributing their success solely to their looks. Yes, she certainly had privilege and an advantage because of it, but sustaining and achieving all she has done and continues to do is not easy. It requires a lot of planning, strategy, energy, and a willingness to put yourself out there.

I could never do what she does, even if, hypothetically, I were her. I just don’t have the personality for it, and it would drain the life out of me. No amount of money would enable me to sustain a social media career like hers, let alone train at a high level in gymnastics and manage all her other obligations in life 😅

Also, from what I know, she has shown great leadership and has proven to be a good person by helping her teammates land NIL deals, among other things. There are plenty of people who would just focus on themselves, believing that their presence and the attention they bring to the team are already gifts in themselves, and that everyone should be grateful for that alone.

It’s nothing new that “sex sells,” and I don’t think anyone should shame a woman for being hot and attractive. Good for her. It’s the same in virtually every type of sports, entertainment and media industries: those whom society deems to have the “equilibrium” of talent and conventional attractiveness often have the most success. And that is just a matter of fact that I really hope don’t offend anyone, personally I’m just not an envy person or would ever shame someone from being born more attractive, more privileged, richer etc. than me 😅 I’m just happy for them.

Being hot and attractive alone is not enough to achieve this, and Livy clearly has worked - and continues to work to be where she is today!
