Gabby Douglas, Twitter Hair
Really? Olympic Gymnast Gabrielle Douglas Gets Twitter Hate Over Hair
“Flying Squirrel” Gabrielle Douglas, who continues to wow spectators with her riveting moves that contributed to her gymnastic team’s gold medal win, has been caught up in a firestorm. The controversy, though, has nothing to do with her brilliant performance at this year’s Olympics, but with her hairstyle, according to the Huffington Post.
