Liked by arthur_leclerc, charles_leclerc, danielricciardo and 991,959 others luise_leclerc After being silent for a long time, I have now decided to say something about the rumors surrounding me and Nicholas Brown.... Unfortunately the rumors are true. I was abused several times by my longtime trainer Nicholas Brown. It is hard to write this down here and know that everyone will know. But it's even harder to accept that something like this happened to me. Again...
My/our emotions and thoughts cannot be put into words and must first be understood, sorted and processed by us. That's why I ask you to respect my and my family's privacy. We all, especially me, need time to understand why all this happened. I need time in order to be able to heal the wounds he left behind. It is difficult to accept that there were hints of such behavior before, but I ignored them because I trusted him.
As many of you had already guessed correctly, this is also the reason why I did not participate in the friendship competition in Paris. The saison is also over now and I will continue to withdraw from figure skating. I will not participate in any events, shows or press conferences regarding my sport. I will decide later if I will rejoin professional figure skating.
One thing is for sure, I will not train under Nicholas Brown anymore and I will make sure that he will not be tempted to do it with other girls as well.
Thank you all for your support and the numerous, kind and loving messages I have received over the past weeks, even months. And I am grateful that you have respected my silence.
I'm going to sign off for now to focus on myself, to get out of the hole Nicholas has pushed me into. However, one thing is for sure, I will come back stronger.

username1 I honestly can't imagine how you feel. I got goosebumps just reading this....
username2 I have tears in my eyes. It's awful what people are capable of. We are all behind you Luise!
username3 I knew the rumors were true. Still I am shocked to hear it from you. Unbelievable...
username4 How much bad luck can a person have? I hope he is finally punished for it.
username5 It's terrible when you consider that the accusations already existed last year but were dropped because there wasn't enough evidence. It could have been prevented...
username6 Again... Goosebumps. ↳ username7 How she must have felt when she realized it was happening to her again.... ↳ username8 @username7 I've been thinking about that too....
