Welcome to the world of breaking, where Australian competitor Rachael Gunn, also known as b-girl Raygun, made a splash with her viral routine at the Paris Olympics. However, with fame comes criticism, and Gunn is now addressing the hate she has received.
In an emotional Instagram video, Gunn expressed her gratitude to her supporters and acknowledged the positivity they have shown her. She also opened up about the negativity she has faced, describing it as “devastating.” Despite the backlash, Gunn emphasized the hard work and dedication she put into preparing for the Olympics.
Following the criticism, the Australian Olympic Committee took action against a change.org petition that contained false claims about Gunn’s qualification process. In response, Gunn urged those seeking information to refer to the AOC’s statement and called for an end to the harassment of her loved ones and the street dance community.
As she plans to stay in Europe for some much-needed downtime, Gunn assured that she would address further queries upon her return to Australia. Stay tuned for more updates on this talented breaking star.
