"You have been an incredible champion for mental health awareness, and lot of people need your help now. We've been hurt and attacked in ways that I am certain you never intended," she continued, explaining that her friends and family have "been caught in the crossfire." "Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn't like what it used to be," Skinner said in part, in a since-deleted YouTube video posted during the Olympic trials in June. "Just notice like, I mean, obviously a lot of girls don't work as hard. The girls just don't have the work ethic."
