McKayla Maroney, who won a 2012 Olympic gold medal as part of the United States gymnastics team, signed a confidentiality agreement with USA Gymnastics last year to not publicly mention her sexual abuse at the hands of former team doctor Larry Nassar, according to her attorney.
Per ESPN's John Barr, Maroney's attorney, John Manly, filed a lawsuit on her behalf against the U.S. Olympic Committee, USA Gymnastics, Nassar and Michigan State in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Manly said Maroney received a payment from USA gymnastics as part of her confidentiality agreement to buy her silence.
