'Heartbroken' MyKayla Skinner Begs Simone Biles to 'Put a Stop' to Online Bullying After Olympics Drama Fuels 'Death Threats'
Manage episode 439233422 series 3599269
After Biles revealed her former teammate blocked her on X, formerly known as Twitter, for mocking her prior comments after celebrating her 2024 Paris Olympics win, she is calling a truce. "Watching people cheer on the bullying … is disgusting," she said, noting that she's received a lot of "death threats" toward herself and her husband and child. As OK previously reported, Biles, 27, made fun of Skinner's prior comments in which she said present day gymnasts "don't work as hard" as they used to, seemingly referring to Biles and her teammates Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Sunisa Lee and Hazyl Rivera. "But not just heartbroken because it isn't what I feel or even how I previously said, but because Simone's latest post and others that followed it fueled another wave of hateful comments, DMs, articles and emails," she added.
