Gabby Douglas Apologizes for 'Modesty' Comment
Olympic Gold Medal Gymnast Gabby Douglas caught some heat online after telling women to "dress modestly and be classy."
Gabby's comments were in response to teammate Aly Raisman's Instagram post telling women to "wear what you feel good in."
We are all in this together. If we are going to create change I need all your help.

Gabby took a screen shot of the post and then added her own thoughts to the conversation on Twitter.
“However it is our responsibility as women to dress modestly and be classy,” Douglas tweeted. “Dressing in a provocative/sexual way entices the wrong crowd.”
In response, Gabby and Aly's teammate, Simone Biles, stood up for Aly. "[S]hocks me that I’m seeing this but it doesn’t surprise me," Simone wrote. "[H]onestly seeing this brings me to tears bc as your teammate I expected more from you & to support her. I support you Aly & all the other women out there! STAY STRONG
