Glenn, who identifies as queer and competed at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, said on Instagram she had received “a scary amount of hate/threats” after speaking at a press conference and will limit her social media for her mental well‑being. She reiterated she won’t be silenced and intends to keep using her platform for advocacy, but said the volume of online abuse has made a temporary break necessary while she focuses on competing.
