I barely ever left the house.

When I did, I was in big baggy clothing.

And we were doing this because even when they offered the 70% less, it wasn't on paper.

And so there was... And what was the basis of them lowballing you?

Did...

I think it was really, you know, I was older.

Yeah.

And I think they didn't think that they had to pay me to do it.

You know, who else was going to pay me?

Yeah, I wrote a New York Times op-ed sharing what was going on.

We had turned our attention away from the financial part of it and asked for maternal protections, which simply meant the contracts are performance-based.

And so they're created so that if you go to the Olympics or World Championships, you get a bonus.

And if you don't, you get a reduction.

But if you have a baby or if you've just given birth, there was nothing to protect you.

So I was simply asking for time to be able to recover after childbirth and not be further financially penalized.

And at first, they said yes.

And I was like, okay, then we can move forward.

And when the contract came back, there was no mention of maternity, no pregnancy.

And what we learned was that they were not willing to set that precedent for everyone.

They were willing to give it to me.
