Simone Biles Sends Blunt Message To Disrespectful Critics After Olympics

The 2024 Paris Olympics was a major redemption arc for Team USA gymnastics star Simone Biles.

Biles had to withdraw from the Tokyo Games in 2021 due to what she called the "twisties," which the 27-year-old from Spring, Texas, described as being "lost in the air." In other words, it's when a gymnast is in midair and losing awareness of their position and how they will land. But she came back strong in 2024, taking home three gold medals and one bronze.

But, for some odd reason, Biles is still being disrespected by some critics for odd reasons. She faced backlash from Chicago Bears fans when she wore a Green Bay Packers-themed jacket to support her husband, Jonathan Owens, at a preseason game.

She even faced a wave of criticism for posting pictures on social media of herself at a Hermès store and of a gift she received from her adoptive parents (her grandparents), with some fans saying that she was "flaunting her wealth."

Well, Biles has had enough. On Sunday, she posted a message to her disrespectful critics, telling them to leave her alone.

"It’s okay to let up off my neck every once in a while," Biles wrote .

Biles' post received over 19,000 likes, and many of her fans had her back in the comment section, voicing their support for the gymnast.

"Haters gonna hate! You just keep Winning baby girl! Keep your head held High and continue doing YOU!! The ones who matter love you," one fan wrote.

"Just block the noise. Unfortunately, in this world, there are a lot of people behind a keyboard that just don’t know how to act well typing. You are amazing no matter what you do. Just stay true to you," added another with two heart emojis.

"You are an amazing woman who has inspired millions. Please always remember that!" a third commented.

Following the Paris Games, Biles now has a total of 11 Olympic medals, seven of which are gold. Her biggest success came in Rio 2016, where she earned five medals, including four gold and one silver. She added to her count in the Tokyo team final with a silver medal before removing herself from the event.
