Gabby Douglas
When Twitter users spent a good chunk of the 2012 Olympics calling out Gabby Douglas’s bun while she was winning back-to-back gold medals, she had to ask people why they were focused on something so petty.
“I don’t know where this is coming from. What’s wrong with my hair?” she said. “I’m like, ‘I just made history and people are focused on my hair?’ It can be bald or short, it doesn’t matter about (my) hair.”
