Simone Biles ‘ mother, Shanon Biles , is speaking out about wanting to reunite with her daughter after “decades” of estrangement.
Shanon Biles Sends A Message To Her Daughter Simone After Years Of Estrangement
On Tuesday, August 13, the Daily Mail released an exclusive interview with Shanon. The 52-year-old explained that due to her addiction to drugs, she had to “give up” her children.
“It was hard to give up my kids, but I had to do what I had to do,” Shanon told the outlet. “I wasn’t able to care for them. I was still using and [my father] didn’t want me coming in and out of their lives when I wasn’t right.”
Per PEOPLE , Simone previously revealed that she and her siblings, Adria, Tevin, and Ashley, were placed in foster care when she was three years old. At the age of six, she and Adria were adopted by their grandparents, Ronald and Nellie Biles.
Shanon explained to the Daily Mail that she would like to make amends with Simone. The mother explained that she has Simone’s phone number, but she’s “waiting on her” to reach out.
“I would like to make amends with Simone personally – I’m just waiting for her and [her younger sister] Adria. I speak to Adria more than I speak to Simone,” Shanon explained. “I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move forward? Don’t judge me on my past. Let’s move forward.”
The mother ultimately told the outlet that she has to “be patient” with her daughter. Meanwhile, Shanon explained that her father keeps her posted on the 27-year-old.
“What I hear about Simone I hear through my dad. I speak to my dad all the time. We’re good now… If I need to know anything I call my dad. I ask him about Simone, and he keeps me posted,” she said.
Finally, Shanon also revealed that Simone’s father, Kevin Clemons, is also interested in “rebuild[ing]” a relationship with her.
“We both want to see her. I talk to him all the time,” Shanon told the outlet. “He says, ‘If you talk to Simone, give her my number. I’d love to talk to her.’ But I can’t even talk to her. I have to go through my dad.”

Social Media Reacts
Social media users shared mixed reactions to Shanon Bile’s interview and message to her daughter in The Shade Room’s comment section .
Instagram user @itsjust.jourdan wrote,
“ Giving your kids up because you know you can’t take care of them is a smart decision yes. Where she went wrong is waiting for the child to mend a relationship she didn’t break. I will die saying it’s never a child’s responsibility to fix a relationship that the parent broke ” While Instagram user @buffiebabyy added,
“ She should have never did this interview at all .” Instagram user @feenforshar wrote,
“ Def only tryna reunite bc Simone in her bag ” While Instagram user @loveastin added, “ I took it as she doesn’t want to reach out to her because she’s afraid that she will think she wants something from her. So she’s allowing her the space to reach out to her when she’s ready.”
Instagram user @choco_queenn wrote,
“ Why do parents always want you to reach out like you’re the PARENT” While Instagram user @tacarracomedy added, “ Her mother saying that she’s waiting for her to reach out to her, I think that’s fair. I think it’s fair for her to control her emotions enough to sit back and say whenever she’s ready I’m right here. Maybe I’m looking at it from a different perspective, but I wouldn’t want someone who gave me up for adoption looking for me, I’ll come look for you and search for you when I’m ready to deal with those emotions and those feelings.”
Instagram user @dwightholtjr wrote, “ I never like to hear a parent say, ‘I’m waiting on … to reach out to me’. YOU ARE THE PARENT reach out. No matter how old a person is… mama and daddy are still mama and daddy.”
While Instagram user @chun_bos added,
“ you have her number but you won’t reach out and congratulate her? but instead you go ON tv? BYE” Instagram user @hairmistress_ wrote,
“ The effort she put in to do this interview is the same effort she could’ve used to call her daughter. Waiting for someone YOU gave up at the age of 3 shouldn’t have to do anything but be loved on and cared for in every way she deserves from EVERYONE who holds meaning to her life! If you want to be in her life SHOW HER! My heart goes out to Simone and her family!” Has Simone Biles Publicly Reacted To Her Mother’s Message?
