Well God bless her!

I can remember back in the 80’s some Philly cop arrested former heavy weight champion Smokin’ Joe Frazier for suspicion of DUI because he was slurring his words when he was stopped. Of course, that was because he was punch drunk, and he beat the rap. Hopefully, sweet Mary Lou can do the same. I’ve been stopped a few times for suspicion of DUI when I was stone cold sober just because I was driving late at night at the end of the month. At the end of the month, cops are trying to make their monthly quotas.

Leave her alone. Good grief. I mean, let the law do its thing, but good heavens, do I want to read about YOUR indiscretions as if they need headlines?

I dont know her situation but i think she should be treated with blind justice and no special treatment because she was a gymnast and celebrity. Treat her fairly according to the law.

With her stature, it wouldn’t take more than a tablespoon to put her over the legal limit.

Retton did not have insurance at the time and the crowdfunding page raised over $200,000 per day to pay for her medical expenses.

She's a millionaire in her own right. Why she doesn't have insurance is a mystery to me......

” she is not insured. We ask that if could help in any way”
The DUI doesn’t shock me, can happen easily w/.08 as the standard.
After her olympic performances, she was on Wheaties boxes, and every other commercial on TV. What did she do with the money?
Hard to feel sorry for these so-called “stars”, when they can’t save a dime. She should be living comfortably, and have insurance, as well.

If she went from

to

that's pretty sad. But hey, being from West Virginia
and NOT using anything else is a big plus.

Well, this all sounds unfortunate, but how on earth did she not have health insurance in 2023? Did not Obamacare fix those issues? I’m serious! And how old is she, she’s not eligible for medicare?
