On Monday, the gymnast added a new photo on Instagram where she sports a plaid shirt with a hat and appears to be wearing no makeup. With her natural look being displayed, people mentioned how lovely she looks while some others were not as generous.

One user wrote, "I thought you looked like a clown with all that makeup on but my goooood do you look terrible without makeup...98% of your followers would walk right by you cuz you look so...so...AVERAGE."

This led to people responding with how one should not be giving anyone a hard time based on appearances.

"I'm all for people having their opinions and all but why be a d--k? This kind of bullying is what we're trying to eradicate from the sport," a user wrote.

Another said, "She's a gymnast not a vs [Victoria's Secret] model. Stop holding women to these ridiculous beauty standards then bashing them when they wear makeup. It's inherently misogynistic and I bet you need makeup anyway."

Some other people on the social media app ignored this comment and just let Maroney know how much they love her look.

Other comments read, "Dream goddess, love your eyes" and "beautiful also without makeup! I love simple people ;)"
