If the continues bullying is true, Rafael should be investigated
IF it was true, but I think its all fabricated in a Real Housewives way.

There’s no reason why Bell shouldn’t go to prison
When I think of bullies, Mariah Bell is the first person who comes to mind!
I cannot imagine ANY skater deliberately colliding at World's. There really isn't a way to guarantee their own safety here. (Well, maybe like the 3rd ranked skater of a country where the top skater is a huge star? They might be getting paid off to take one for the team? )
And was Mariah really in a run through with music? In that case, she'd absolutely have right of way. It's never the run-through skater's fault. (I can't tell from all the chatter if it was Mariah or Eunsoo in the run through.)

I know many here don't care for "The Skating Lesson" but they just posted a grainy video and Mariah really was doing her run through with music

If Mariah did it intentionally, her coordination is pretty amazing. Impeccable timing. And the planning- to have her program set up like that this whole year!
Thanks for making me laugh. I’ve been so down with all this, I love Mariah as a skater and she seems like a sweetheart."I need a movement here that says I'm in love, but also one where I could nick someone with my blade if I had to. Theoretically, could we do that?"
I'm assuming that Eunsoo is barred from making a comment about this, from her shady agency. And how will she handle all this pressure? I can't imagine she's okay with it. This is beyond upsetting, for both skaters.
I can't go that far. But this behavior is horrible for sure.ATS and the fans who went after Mariah with all of that hate and anger WITHOUT HAVING FACTS are horrible people.

My husband, a historian, suggested that some of the extremism of Korean fans that some people (not you, @kwanatic) have been commenting on may be rooted in the country's long history of being ruled and humiliated by larger, more powerful countries, especially China and Japan. He said historians have suggested that one reason Korea took to Christianity so powerfully in the late 19th-early 20th centuries was to distinguish itself from Japan, and he thought that sports victories (and therefore defeats, slights, etc.) might be exceptionally meaningful to many Koreans because of their deep national consciousness of humiliation, despite their current prosperity. I don't know if he's right or wrong - I'm just passing it on. Not to excuse the treatment of Mariah, but to possibly get a better understanding of the people. Korean fans are not our enemies. Perhaps Koreans here could comment.
I dont think these fans are all from Korea.

Right, if you look at the hateful comments, it's not coming from all Korean people (also, I wouldn't call the majority of the people leaving nasty messages 'fans' of skating). The generalizations and ignorant comments I've seen about Korean people as a whole is another thing I find very troubling about this entire debacle.
You find it unusual that a retired skater who stays quiet about everything is staying quiet about something?Conspicuous by its absence seems to be any comment from the reigning Korean "goddess" and her parent, the CEO of the agency in question. Why is that?

For God's sake! As much as I enjoy Eunsoo's skating, K-Fed is ridiculous for lodging an official complaint. If there are any actual tensions in the training camp, it should have been handled by the coaching staff, pronto! This heavy-handed action though and piling on by K-Fed and Eunsoo's fans and management company, I cannot see ultimately working in Eunsoo's favor, at all.
