The bodycam footage from Mary Lou Retton’s DUI arrest earlier this year has been released.
The former Olympian, 57, appears in the shocking video, released Tuesday, wearing a bright yellow shirt and and brown shorts, as she’s pulled over by police.
The officer then gives her some instructions for a sobriety test as she murmurs, “Oh my God.”
The former gymnast appears to become a bit combative, huffing, “Oh, come on,” when the officer demands that she continue trying to balance herself for a few more seconds.

Although Retton was pulled over in West Virginia, she told the cops she only had a Texas-issued license — but that it was not on her at the time — and that she only had her passport.
The former athlete informed the officer that she was refusing the breathalyzer test, despite that meaning she would obtain an additional charge for declining to do so.
The entire ordeal, which took place in an AutoZone parking lot on May 17, resulted in Retton getting handcuffed for driving under the influence. She became emotional and told a loved one, “Oh my God, Gia. They think I’m drunk,” as the latter tried to advocate on her behalf to police.

The officers still escorted Retton down to the station, however, and upon her arrival there, she told a policeman, “I mean, really. …I know, you know [who I am].”
While at the station, the former gold medalist got her mugshot taken, which was also released Tuesday.
She appeared to be crying and very upset while posing for the photograph. In the bodycam footage, the mom of four continued to break down.
Reps for Retton did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Retton’s arrest first became public in late May. At the time, online records showed that she had been booked in Marion County for “driving under influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or drugs; penalties.”
Per a police report, she drove her Porsche “all over the roadway” with a container of wine beside her.
Retton received a $100 fine and told “Entertainment Tonight” after a court appearance in June, “I take full responsibility for my actions. What happened was completely unacceptable. I make no excuses.
“To my family, friends and my fans: I have let you down, and for that I am deeply sorry. I am determined to learn and grow from this experience, and I am committed to making positive changes in my life. I truly appreciate your concern, encouragement and continued support.”
