Aly Raisman On Dr. Larry Nassar’s Medical Treatment: I Didn’t Know It Was Abuse | Megyn Kelly TODAY

THEIR LIFE. AND EVERYONE DEALS WITH IT DIFFERENTLY. AND NO ONE HAS TO COME FORWARD ABOUT IT PUBLICLY. IT'S EVERYONE'S DECISION. AND WE HAVE TO RESPECT THAT. >> AND WE KEEP PUTTING THE ONUS ON THE VICTIMS. SO YOU KNOW THIS STORY, RIGHT? THE TEAM DOCTOR HAS NOW BEEN IDENTIFIED BY SEVERAL WOMEN ON THE TEAM, AS HAVING SEXUALLY ABUSED THEM DURING HIS EXAMS, HIS TREATMENTS OF THEM. AND HE DENIES IT. IN THE PROCESS WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING TO YOU, YOU DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS ABUSE? >> NO. I JUST THOUGHT HE WAS REALLY WEIRD. YOU KNOW? TO BE HONEST. HE JUST WAS VERY ODD. AND HE WAS VERY FRIENDLY WITH US. HE WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. HE WOULD TEXT US AT TIMES. HE WAS OUR FRIEND. HE WOULD, YOU KNOW, COME -- HE WOULD WORK ON US ALONE IN OUR HOTEL ROOM. HE WOULD COME TO MY HOTEL ROOM ALONE. BECAUSE I WAS SO YOUNG AND HE WAS A DOCTOR, I NEVER THOUGHT -- YOU LOOK OUT FOR STRANGERS WHEN YOU'RE LITTLE. I DIDN'T THINK A DOCTOR WOULDN'T ALLOWED TO BE WORKING ON ME ALONE. AND THAT IS A VIOLATION OF USA GYMNASTICS POLICY. >> IT WASN'T JUST THAT. YOU'RE YOUNG. YOU'RE FOCUSED ON WINNING GO INNING GOLD. IT WAS THE GROOMING HE DID. THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERY PARENT AND YOUNG PERSON TO KNOW. TALK ABOUT THE GROOMING. >> I MEAN, A LOT OF THE MONSTERS, THEY'RE MASTER MANIPULATORS. THEY MAKE YOU BELIEVE THEY CARE ABOUT YOU. I USED TO FEEL GUILTY. HE ANNOYED ME SO MUCH. BUT I FELT GUILTY BECAUSE HE IS THE BEST, HE'S THE NICEST. BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE SAYS THEY'RE NICE, DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY ARE. >> TENDS TO BE MEN, CAN BE WOMEN, ARE INTERESTED IN YOUNG VICTIMS, PUT THEMSELVES IN PROFESSIONS WHERE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO YOUNG VICTIMS. AND THEY KNOW HOW TO BE NICE. >> LARRY GOT AWAY WITH IT, AS WE KNOW OF, FOR 30 YEARS. AND THERE WAS A REPORT WHEN I WAS 1 YEARS OLD. OVER THE YEARS, SO MANY PEOPLE LOOKED THE OTHER WAY. AND I DON'T KNOW WHY OUR SOCIETY, SO MANY PEOPLE LOOK THE OTHER WAY. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE PROTECT THESE DISGUSTING PEOPLE. >> LIKE KEVIN SPACEY. THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST KEVIN SPACEY INVOLVED YOUNG BOYS. HE DENIES THEM. BUT THAT'S ANOTHER SITUATION. WE'RE TEEING ONE PERSON RAISE THEIR HAND AND MANY OTHERS, AS WE LOOK AT YOU AND YOUR TEAMMATES, RAISING HANDS IN A DIFFERENT WAY. I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO HIM AND WHETHER YOU THINK IT'S JUSTIFIED AND WHAT ROLE USA GYMNASTICS HAS HAD IN ALL THIS. Every morning, I thought I had to make a choice. Do I use a toothpaste that whitens my teeth or one... ...that's good for my teeth? Now I don't have to choose! My dentist told me about new Crest Whitening Therapy. So, I tried it! From Crest 3D White comes new Whitening Therapy. It's our best whitening technology. Plus, it has a fortifying formula to protect your enamel. Now I get a whiter smile and healthy teeth, all in one. The 3D White collection from Crest. Healthy, beautiful smiles for life. At Hellmann's, we care about sourcing 100% of our oils responsibly. And we care about incredible taste.
