Simone Biles Warns Haters After Weeks of Negative Backlash and Controversy
Simone Biles is clearly excited about revenge. It seems the seven-time Olympic gold medalist is drained of hearing criticism over the past few weeks about her performance in Paris, her husband, and her biological mother.
Everyone had something good and bad to say, nevertheless it seems the 27-year-old athlete has had enough.
“I really want to give back, but I have to be as classy as possible” Biles published on her Threads page.
Fans rallied behind her, with one person responding, “AMEN to all of this! Just say the word; we’re ready.” Another follower commented, “Listen… just throw your hat up, sis. We’re swimming through the water around you,” referring to last 12 months’s Alabama Brawl.
Biles can have had a drink before expressing her desire to fireside online. She also asked in threads“Why are airport mimosas so strong?”
This prompted another person to repost her message from August 12 this 12 months, through which she stated: “I will never drink again.”
Two other individuals who were confused by her post said, “What happened? I got lost” and “I missed this. Who’s coming for Simone now??”
Biles had a busy summer in 2024. She won 4 gold medals on the Summer Olympics in Paris, increasing her medal haul to 11.
Plus, much like when her husband, Jonathan Owens, made headlines for calling himself “the catch,” the couple went viral again when some social media users began arguing with the 29-year-old NFL player wearing one of his wife’s recently won gold medals.
“Witnessing history every time you step on the mat. Congrats baby on becoming the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history!!!! Just wow!!!! Eight of them!!!!! I’m so grateful I was there to see it,” Owens wrote under a July 30 Instagram photo of Simone Biles.
Owens’ post led to TikToker Kiera Breaugh criticizing the Chicago Bears defense for allegedly attempting to steal Simone Bile’s shot on the Olympics. However, Biles defended her spouse within the comments section of Breaugh’s TikTok.
“What’s crazy is I put a medal on every single member of my family and took pictures,” Biles replied. “So don’t ever put one on. Like y’all are so fucking miserable. Leave us alone.”
Another member of Simone Biles’ family who sparked extreme headlines online in August was her mother. Shannon Biles gave an exclusive interview Share where a recovering drug addict confessed she sought forgiveness after giving Biles and her siblings up for adoption.
“I would like to personally repair things with Simone,” Shannon said. “I talk to Adria more than I do with Simone. I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move forward? Don’t judge me by the past. Let’s move forward.”

Biles and her younger sister, Adria, were adopted by their maternal grandfather, Ron Biles, and his second wife, Nellie Biles. Shannon Biles also had two other children, a son, Tevin, and a daughter, Ashley, who was raised by Ron’s sister.
Shannon Biles’ plea for forgiveness got here as Simone was within the midst of her historic run on the Paris Olympics. In addition to wowing the crowds at France’s Accor Arena, the 4-foot-8-inch star had a frustrating interaction through the freestyle competition on Aug. 5.
“If one of these cameramen hits me again, we’re in trouble,” Simone warned an unnamed person while she was on the recent mic. The behind-the-scenes moment went viral, with many commenters supporting Bile’s “unfiltered” response.
She also had a history of drama together with her former teammate, retired gymnast Mykayla Skinner. Skinner railed against the professionalism and determination of the U.S. women’s gymnastics team in a since-deleted YouTube video from June 2024 through the U.S. Olympic qualifiers.
“Aside from Simone, I feel like the talent and depth isn’t what it used to be. Obviously, a lot of the girls don’t work as hard. The girls just don’t have the work ethic,” Skinner said.
After Team USA won the gold medal in Paris, Biles posted a photograph on Instagram with the caption, “no talent, laziness, Olympic champions,” which many of Simone’s fans took as a veiled dig at her former teammate.
Both former teammates competed within the 2021 Summer Olympics. Skinner, an Olympic silver medalist within the vaulting event, later called on Biles to stop the alleged “cyberbullying” she faced for her critical comments about her former team.
“To Simone, I am asking you directly and publicly to put an end to this. Please ask your followers to stop. You have been an incredible advocate for mental health awareness, and so many people need your help right now,” Skinner pleaded.
Biles won first place in the ladies’s artistic all-around, women’s artistic all-around, and vault on the 2024 Summer Olympics. She also won a silver medal in the ladies’s freestyle. With 11 profession medals, Biles is essentially the most decorated female Olympic gymnast in American history.
