Chris doesn’t handle the truth well at first. When she hears about the steroid accusations, she immediately denies them, even correcting her husband when he calls it a rumor – she insists it’s a lie. Discovering that a former teammate, Tunde Johnston, started the story only makes things worse, and Chris reacts poorly. After a night out, she drunkenly leaves a furious, profanity-filled voicemail for Tunde, threatening her and demanding to know if she understands who Chris is. Predictably, the voicemail goes viral as soon as Tunde releases it. When Alex confronts Bro Hartman about broadcasting the voicemail on his podcast, he points out his popularity and financial power – essentially, he controls Alex’s salary. He also argues that a scandal involving America’s beloved gold medalist is big news, and Alex knows it. Alex is left speechless, responding only with a string of expletives.
