documentary has made it worth it for Jennifer Sey. The former gymnast served as a producer on the documentary, which follows a team of investigative journalists fromMore than 250 women and girls have accused Nassar of sexual misconduct. In January 2018, the former Team USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University doctor was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison for sexually assaulting athletes under his care.
She remembers being"berated, belittled and threatened" over her claims at the time, and she tells ET's Deidre Behar that coming forward then allowed her to gain the trust of athletes ready to tell their stories about Nassar. The mom of three says she didn't mean to become a"whistleblower," but has felt the need to expose the alleged culture of abuse in gymnastics.
"Many of the women say the abuse started at 11, 10 -- very young," Sey points out."We need to treat these young athletes like children that are developing. We need to teach them that they need to stand up for themselves, that they need to trust in their own experience, that their voice matters, that their emotional health and well-being matters, that their physical health and well-being matters.
"Rachael Denhollander, who is one of the featured survivors... feels it's very important to tell the details of the story, so people really understand," Sey describes. The author turned producer credits another athlete, Maggie Nichols, for telling the important story of alleged backlash after reporting abuse.
