From intlgymnast.com Forum First of all Rondeen..I am not Nastia bashing. I love her and like I said, I know her and have hung out with her...so that is unfair. If you knew her you would know exactly what I am talking about...She is VERY in to herself... VERY much...like she is the center of the universe. That is not a bad thing, but it rubs some people the wrong way. This is a known fact, so I am done talking about this....
Second of all I was referring to Nastia NOT making any mention what so ever about her teammates or SJ when talking about Wheaties Box or other photo ops. Shawn has always said that she want her teammates to be a part of all the glory...Nastia is just a different personality. She and her family are all about winning, second place is "not for them" they have literally said it 100 times. It is in every fluff peice, every mention of their family, Nastia "hates silver"...and has made several rude comments through the years...and often referred to as being "cold" and "aloof". Im just saying these are not qualities endeering to the AMERICAN public...The Chellsie Memmel situation still sticks out in many people's minds.
