Suni Lee breathes a sigh of relief as fans mock unfortunate X incident: 'I was cheated on'

Suni Lee has finally found some relief. After recently losing access to her X account, she finally got it back. For the uninitiated, the Tokyo all-around winner's X account suddenly saw her selling MacBooks. Her fans were informed that Lee did this as part of a fundraiser. According to Lee's latest update, she apparently owned 10 MacBook Pros that she wanted to sell for $600. As an added benefit, Lee also mentioned in her post that the MacBooks were autographed by her, which significantly increased the value.

At first, some of her fans fell for the scam. But soon people realized that their account had been hacked and Lee was not conducting any such fundraisers. Luckily for the Olympian, after putting in a lot of effort over the past few days, Lee was finally able to get her X account back. The Olympic gold medalist wrote about her report: “Oh my god, guys, I finally have my Twitter back.”

Now it seems bizarre why hackers would target Lee's account and not other bigger names with more followers. But the truth is that Suni Lee is slowly growing into a fan base with names like Beyoncé and Hailey Beiber becoming her fans. After her gold rush in Tokyo, Lee faced a lot of trolls. People badmouthed her and said she wasn't worthy of the all-around title and only won it because Simone Biles withdrew.

Adding to her woes, Lee was diagnosed with complicated kidney disease. This almost caused her to give up her professional career. Luckily, Lee worked hard and qualified for Paris, showing off the champion she truly was. Looking to prove her haters were wrong, the Auburn gymnast was instrumental in helping Team USA win the team gold medal. She also won two more bronze medals, making her appearance in the French capital a great success.

And with her spectacular show, Suni Lee attracted a lot of public attention. After proving that she is a champion, Lee is now receiving a lot of support. And while the average Joe was always coming towards Lee, the gymnast was in for a shocker. When Lee recently spoke with Caroline Fenton on Yahoo Sports, he shared how Hailey Bieber once recognized her.

And as if that wasn't all, Lee was recently impressed by her childhood hero Beyoncé. While attending Glamor Magazine's Women of the Year event alongside Allyson Felix, Serena Williams and more, Lee caught a glimpse of Beyoncé. But given the fact that she was surrounded by fans and other people, the Olympian suppressed her urge to start a conversation. Until Beyonce approached Lee and exchanged pleasantries.

Queen B also mentioned that her daughters are big fans of hers. Given its immense popularity, it's only conceivable that the hackers targeted Lee's account. They soon began making fun of the Olympian after she informed them that she should be allowed access again.
