For those unaware, Skinner had some harsh criticisms towards the USA women’s gymnastics team after the Olympic trials in June. She said that besides Biles, she feels “like the talent and the depth just isn’t like what it used to be.”

Skinner added that “a lot of girls don’t work as hard,” which comes across as if she’s questioning the work ethic of the current USA gymnasts.

After the USA won gold in the team event on Tuesday, Biles took to Instagram to post several photos of herself and her teammates celebrating after their win. In the caption, she wrote, “lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions.”

Many deemed it a shot at Skinner, prompting her family, fans and followers to react.

“F AROUND AND FIND OUT,” Biles’ husband, Jonathan Owens, commented. Biles’ sister, Adria Biles, just laughed and wrote: “HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH”

“The shade of it all. You better GOAT!” a fan furthered, clearly getting the Skinner reference. Another one said, “Lol she’s probably so jealous that you guys won.”

“IN THAT FKN ORDER LACK OF TALENT & LAZY OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS.  Simone you a menace for this caption,” a supporter furthered.

“YEP SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK,” an Instagram user exclaimed.

MyKayla Skinner has already apologized for her comments about Team USA, but clearly, Simone Biles took offense at it.

The good thing is that Biles and USA Gymnastics let their performance do the talking to prove Skinner wrong.
