MyKayla Skinner BEGS Simone Biles to Call Off Fans After Simone Responded To Her Criticism | HO

Former US Gymnast, MyKayla Skinner is begging Simone Biles to call off her fans after MyKayla slammed teh current US Gymnastics team.

Michaela Skinner, a former U.S. gymnast, has criticized Simone Biles, claiming that the current U.S. gymnastics team lacks talent and is lazy. This statement comes despite the team’s impressive performance at the Olympics, winning multiple gold, silver, and bronze medals.

Michaela has now asked Simone to intervene and stop her fans from sending hate messages and threats. On social media, Michaela had said that besides Simone, the team’s talent and depth weren’t what they used to be. She mentioned that many girls don’t work as hard and that the current coaching style, impacted by SafeSport regulations, doesn’t push athletes enough. She also noted that Russia’s absence from the competition reduces the stress for the U.S. team, suggesting that their victories are less significant without Russian competitors.

Simone Biles responded with a social media post saying, “lack of talent lazy Olympic Champions,” accompanied by a heart emoji, a gold medal emoji, and an American flag. This post, interpreted as a clap back at Michaela’s comments, triggered more backlash against Michaela.

In a public plea, Michaela asked Simone to call off her fans, stating that she and her family have received hate messages and death threats. Michaela emphasized that her comments were not intended to insult the team and expressed heartbreak over the situation. She acknowledged Simone’s role as a champion for mental health and asked for her help in stopping the wave of hate.

Despite the controversy, Simone continues to be praised for her resilience and achievements, including a historic salute to a Brazilian gymnast. The gymnastics community, as well as fans, have shown strong support for Simone and the U.S. team.
