A musical inspired by viral Olympic breakdancer Raygun was shut down hours before it was due to open, after lawyers representing the athlete threatened legal action, the show’s creator said on social media.

She does not deserve this attention, a disgrace who denied the rightly deserved to compete and literally put on a show of other disrespect towards people who love that sport, that art. Of course she lawyered up. She needs to be buried in the annals of history of the disgraced and forgotten about.
..paid staff ..paid dancers ..paid suppliers ..paid legal advice ..paid venue rental ..no show ..no revenue ..refunds all buyers ..this would have been Raygun's 15 mins of extended fame but she chose to hurt. She deserves to be buried in the mud
She’s (raygun )the one who decided to do whatever that little Olympic Stunt she did. Maybe she should be sued her for making a mockery of break dancing. 😆 get over yourself @raygunsite.com
This is crazy. Raygun says she “owns” the moves? Can you copyright it? Why even double down on the stupid moves in the first place, I’m shocked she doesn’t want to distance herself from it all. And now she’s associated with blocking an event that raised money for charity. Gunn is an idiot, IMO.
I thought it was great her dancing, she should have allowed the musical as a bit of underground approval after all the negative criticism. It belongs on the level of Kaepernick's taking a knee as a peaceful message of his personality.
Not y’all caping for this woman in the replies. She used personal connections to steal a spot at the Olympics from a competent performer/athlete. She wanted the attention, and she got it.
Do you think the referee Anthony Taylor would look any better playing a Champions League final than this? Being a referee or administrator does not require the skills of the participants.

It could also potentially breach defamation and copyright laws.
If we start publicly ridiculing people who have tried and failed, what message does that send to those who are hesitant to try.
