Rachael Gunn aka Raygun has apologised to the breaking community.
She states that her “record speaks” to being the best B-girl in Australia.
The 2024 Olympian breakdancer sat down for her first interview since her controversial dance moves went viral, plastering her name and face around the globe.
While appearing on “The Project” on Wednesday evening, Raygun publicly apologised to the entire breakdancing community following criticism that she had damaged the dancing style.
“There’s been a portion of very angry and, you know, awful responses, not only attacking me but attacking my husband,” she said during the interview.
She added that the “very angry” and “awful responses” have also been aimed at her “crew”, as well as “attacking the breaking and street dance community in Australia, my family.”
“The energy and vitriol that people had was pretty alarming.”
In addition to the online backlash, Raygun also inspired a comedy bit on US comedian Jimmy Fallon‘s The Tonight Show, in which Rachel Dratch portrayed the Australian breakdancer.
“I don’t know whether to hug him or yell at him because – what a platform he ended up giving me, honestly,” Raygun said in response to the sketch.
