That comment has a sour taste to it when you consider that the documentary is about how skating left them broken inside. How the system doesn’t let them speak about burnout, PTSD or eating disorder. I would likely recommend you watch the documentary before trashtalking. Charlie might not be the most wonderful human being on this planet but this documentary is nothing about his ego or wanting spotlight.

The article says that Julianne is suffering long-term concussion effects and "depends on her parents for washing, cleaning, and preparing meals." But it doesn't give many more details of her current condition nor what the long-term medical outlook is.
