McKayla Maroney Instagram Video Sparks Butt Implant Rumors, Star Responds To Hacking Claims

Former gymnast McKayla Maroney, who became an overnight viral sensation for her “not impressed” face at the 2012 London Olympics, shocked her 1.2 million followers when she posted a scandalous video to Instagram Saturday. The gold medalist danced for the camera in a black thong and red tank top, sparking rumors among her followers that she had implants.

She captioned the salacious clip: “Another world premiere.” It viewed nearly 800,000 times.

When people accused her of being hacked, the 21-year-old confirmed she posted the video herself. “I didn't get hacked. unfollow if u need to. all love,” she wrote, adding on Twitter: “hey, im just doing me. if u want me to be a role model so bad, get inspired by how i give 0 fcuks and go do u.”

She added in two more tweets: “not everyone's gona like u, but if u stay true to yourself they might just respect you… she bad, but her outlook on life badder.”

The day before she posted her tantalizing Instagram video, Maroney fired off a series of tweets.

She wrote:

“karma isn't a punishing force. it's a balancing force… need a boy who can take good pictures of me… stop falling in love w broken ppl… not leaving something toxic bc of the time you've spent on it, is just as bad as not starting something great bc of the time it will take… i’d rather have no idea where i’m going, then comfortably continue to live in circles… staying in ur lane is one thing, creating ur own is another… my reality check bounced… separate waze… living in fear of repeating ur past, is only gona sabotage ur future… it doesn't matter how evolved u are, just as long as ur open to evolving…”

Maroney didn’t address the butt implant rumors, but it wasn’t the first time she was accused of altering her body. When she sported a fuller pout in July, she denied getting lip injections to Seventeen Magazine.

“Makeup and a camera can really make you look like a different person,” she said about not surgically enhancing her face. “I don't mean to freak anybody out. At the end of the day, I have changed. I can't blame anybody for saying, ‘Oh, she changed!’ You know, because I have. And that's OK.”

The former athlete further denied altering her lips, saying she had grown from 16-year-old girl that everyone knew about the 2012 Olympics.

“Growing up in the social media world, it's tough,” she said. “Your face changes, you get older, your face fills out, and you fall into liking makeup and different stuff like that. And for people saying that, for the most part – it would kind of hurt my feelings when you haven't done anything.”

“Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star Kylie Jenner once used that excuse, and then later copped to getting lip fillers.

Since she’s retired from gymnastics, Maroney wants to focus on music. Her goal is to become the female Drake. “I love the way that he tells stories,” she said about the “Hotline Bling” rapper. “It has a little bit of a Calypso jam vibe. He's real and always lyrically-driven in all the melodies. If there's one person I want to sound like, it's him.”
