and took his surname. However, the marriage ended in divorce in January 2020. A 2020 profile by her sponsor Red Bull notes, "She is a staunch conservative...she does not believe in feminism." Dygert issued a public apology in November 2020 for social media conduct that was deemed inappropriate. Her "likes" of social media posts were widely perceived as racist and transphobic. Apart from Canyon-SRAM, the cycling brand Rapha stated that it "whole-heartedly condemns" her social media conduct and found her apology "insufficient." Rapha described her actions as "offensive, divisive, and have no place in cycling or society."
