Simone Biles Slams USA Gymnastics President After Controversial Tweet

Simone Biles speaking out in response to a controversial tweet from interim USA Gymnastics president and CEO Mary Bono.

Mary was named to the position last week and it didn’t take long for a recent tweet of hers to go viral.

In a now deleted post, Mary shared a photo of herself filling in a Nike logo on a pair of sneakers in response to Colin Kaepernick‘s campaign.

Mary wrote, “Playing in a charity golf tournament raising money for our nation’s Special Forces operators and their families. Unfortunately had these shoes in my bag. Luckily I had a marker in my bag too.”

Simone quoted the tweet, writing, “*mouth drop* don’t worry, it’s not like we needed a smarter usa gymnastics president or any sponsors or anything”

Mary has since expressed regret for posting the tweet.

Gymnast Simone Biles Wears Teal Leotard for Sexual Assault Awareness While Winning Her 5th National Title

Simone Biles just keeps making history wherever she goes!

The 21-year-old Olympian just earned her 5th national title at the 2018 U.S. Gymnastics Championships held at TD Garden on Sunday (August 19) in Boston, Mass.

There was also a hidden meaning behind her teal blue leotard – it was a nod to sexual assault awareness. Simone and four of her fellow Final Five team members were victims of Larry Nassar‘s abuse.

Simone Biles Takes Top Spot at U.S. Classic Gymnastics Competition 2018

Simone Biles stands proud on the podium in the number one spot after competing in the 2018 U.S. Classic gymnastics seniors event held at Jerome Schottenstein Center on Saturday (July 28) in Columbus, Ohio.

The 21-year-old Olympian won the all-around competition, with Riley McCusker coming in second, and Morgan Hurd in third.

“I was nervous with how I would handle it all,” Simone shared with press afterwards. “To come off bars, where I had a fall, and go to beam and put up a strong routine, I was pretty proud of how I handled it.”

Simone also opened up about coming back to competition after taking two years off.

“This time is for me to come back and have fun and really enjoy the sport and not set so many expectations for myself because I met a lot of those in the last quad. I feel like now I don’t have to be so nervous, walking on eggshells, because we already achieved what we did in Rio.”

She adds, “We’re already Olympians at this point, where before you were kind of nervous that everything you did could mess up whatever you wanted to do. I’m coming back and doing what I want to do, and I’m not doing it for anybody else.”

Simone is still planning on going to the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.

Simone Biles Says She Was Sexually Abused By Larry Nassar

Simone Biles Says She Was Sexually Abused By Larry Nassar

Simone Biles published a message to her fans on Twitter, alleging that she was sexually abused by the USA gymnastics doctor, Larry Nassar.

You can read part of the 20-year-old gymnasts note below.

“Most of you know me as a happy, giggly and energetic girl. But lately…I’ve felt a bit broken and the more I try to shut off the voice in my head the louder it screams,” Simone wrote in her note on Twitter. “I am not afraid to tell my story anymore. I too am one of the many survivors that was sexually abused by Larry Nassar.”

“For too long I have asked myself, ‘Was I too naive? Was it my fault?’ I now know the answers to those questions. No. No, it was not my fault. No, I will not and should not carry the guilt that belongs to Larry Nassar, USAG [USA Gymnastics], and others,” she continued.

McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas previously came forward with stories of Nassar‘s abuse. He was recently sentenced to 60 years in prison for child pornography.

Aly Raisman Helped Simone Biles With Her Body Confidence

Aly Raisman Helped Simone Biles With Her Body Confidence

Simone Biles is opening up about how certain haters used to bully her for her muscular arms, and just how Final Five teammate Aly Raisman helped her overcome it.

“People would say mean things at the time. They used to call me a ‘swoldier,’ which didn’t make me feel the best,” the Olympic gymnast shared in a piece with Today. “I wore sweaters or jackets all year long to cover my arms.”

But although she was bullied for being more on the muscular side, Simone has learned to love how she looks with help from Aly.

“Aly Raisman helped me a lot with my body-confidence issues and helped me learn to love how I look,” Simone adds. “She’s taught me a lot along the way, but most of the time it’s just the same message: love yourself.”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to wear makeup that day, if you don’t want to do your hair that day or anything else. You’re human, too, so do what you like.”
