But popularity comes with its own set of difficulties, and Khelif has recently found herself struggling with the negative aspects of public attention.
The cyberbullying started soon after she won the Olympics and was fueled by social media sites where hatred can sometimes strengthen people.
Her online presence was inundated with negative comments, disparaging memes, and personal attacks, which not only damaged her reputation but also had an impact on her mental health.
Khelif said, “I never expected to face sŅch hostility after achieving something I worked so hard for,” expressing her disbelief at the extent of the harassment.
It’s devastating for my family and me. The involvement of well-known figures like Eloÿ MŅsk, whose tweets and other comments significantly increase public opinion, is what complicates this situation.
