Over the weekend, U.S. Olympic hopeful Gwen Berry made herself a household name by defiantly pouting during the National Anthem as she stood on the podium with her bronze medal.
Hammer thrower Gwen Berry turned away from the flag during the national anthem on the podium at the US Olympic trials. She then draped her black T-shirt with the words “Activist Athlete” emblazoned on the front over her head.

Stop playing with her, because she’s stunning and brave and she wants everyone to know it.
Or maybe she doesn’t:
At this point, y’all are obsessed with me https://t.co/HBWCE28s7x

That sounds suspiciously like a complaint, Gwen.
Livin' rent-free in their heads while you go on with your good life! 😉

Who’s living rent-free in whose heads, Nancy? Because Gwen seems to be the one who’s bothered right now.
What a strange, conceited way to look at it lol

Sad!
Gwen wants all the glory that goes with being a shameless attention seeker without any of the negative attention that comes with it.
Not that this is what you wanted, or anything. You are but a humble figure, seeking no notoriety, eschewing all attention. https://t.co/i9aTxmFP3Q

Guys!!! Stop making this about the girl who wanted no attention at all by covering her face with an activist athlete shirt then facing away during the national anthem while staring directly at the camera https://t.co/Dx0nAMz6ph

You're literally a petulant child who wanted attention, and got said attention @MzBerryThrows … https://t.co/KrrKnTYXpy

I don't think she should be removed but it is very funny to pull the why are you giving me the attention I wanted pic.twitter.com/Nh5H5mdRqE

Everyone on the left after doing something they know will get attention. https://t.co/LbCAr4FtiV pic.twitter.com/IclkHeh1Uj

Lol. You've been a leading topic on Twitter for almost three days and haven't cracked 10K followers. No one is interested in you. https://t.co/3Twq4eJjEE
