Riley McCusker and Emily Liszewski filed lawsuits in late October against former MG Elite Gymnastics coaches Maggie Haney and Victoria Levine alleging a "culture of abuse."
Katie Kausch of NJ Advance Media reported Monday the women said in the lawsuits filed in New Jersey's Monmouth County Superior Court that the training environment at MG Elite regularly included "screaming, body shaming, discouraging girls from getting their periods and unsafe training conditions." The women said this culture led to injuries and athletes training while suffering from injuries.
Along with Haney and Levine, MG Elite, Monmouth Gymnastics and Arena Gymnastics are all named as defendants in both cases.
