GymnastHOLE of the Week: Dominique Moceanu

Dominique Moceanu Winning Gold in Atlanta

Since Dominique Moceanu has never met a scandal she didn’t feel the urge to exploit, from the Chellsie Memmel petition denial to Shawn Johnson’s “sudden” retirement, this week in gymnastics feels like a hug from baby Jesus for Dominique.

Dominique Moceanu, one-time Olympian and expert of butting her nose in places it doesn’t belong has been fanning the flames of the Chellsie Memmel drama, making it all about her, bashing USAG, Marta Karolyi, and the sport she claims to love by making innuendos and suggestions of all sorts this week on her twitter, even engaging in “twitter beef” and blocking people who dare challenge the ONCE UPON A TIME gymnast.

She also released an “earthshaking” Youtube video of her “private” phone call her husband Mike Canales made in defense of Moceanu to USAG of grievances against them denying her adorable, entitled little petition even though she didn’t release USAG’s rebuttal to her.  Yup, sounds legit to me.  Oh and by the way, I hope she got permission to record that conversation beforehand because last time I checked, that’s against the law!

This weeks drama couldn’t come at a better time for Ms. Moceanu since her book “Off Balance” (perfect title) comes out soon. And she also promises to create even more drama with some “bombshell” news she plans on dropping on ABC’s 20/20. I can hardly wait. The anticipation is definitely not palpable.

Here are a few of her non-bitchy tweets this week.

@lchops96 @SpannyTampson I value the wit, snarkiness, fervor, & views but please don’t ever mention my kids.

Dominique Moceanu ‏@Dmoceanu
@SpannyTampson C’mon Spanny you’re not naive enough to believe the decision wasn’t the result of pressure from Marta during podium training?

Dominique Moceanu ‏@Dmoceanu
@SpannyTampson I subscribe to the notion Marta convinced/pressured her to go from 1 to 4 days before the meet.

Dominique Moceanu ‏@Dmoceanu
@e_stepping Disappointed & Outraged, but NOT Surprised. Check out some of my tweets from yesterday & today, they’ll bring you up to speed.

@JulietMacur Veiled, Conflicting, & Dim-witted Criteria: Par for the course for USA Gymnastics Selection Committee.

Dominique Moceanu ‏@Dmoceanu
So Chellsie Memmel’s been added to the post-Olympic tour. Good deed or damage control?

Dominique Moceanu ‏@Dmoceanu
@lchops96 The “ol’ make up the rules as we go”. We’ve all seen it before. Again–The rules are there are no rules. #Gross

Dominique Moceanu ‏@Dmoceanu
@wagrobanite Are u certain?If she needed a 14.0, wouldn’t she elect to do a vault? Spoke to her mom b4 meet–she wasn’t aware of a score.

Dominique Moceanu ‏@Dmoceanu
NO. “@lchops96: @Dmoceanu do you believe Martha one bit when she claims to have cried over the decision?”

And on.. and on.. and on.. OKAY, I think you get the picture and for that, Dominique, girl, your petition has been accepted and you OVERWHELMINGLY win the first ever title of GymnastHOLE of the Week Congrats girl, you’ve made history again!
