MyKayla Skinner begs Simone Biles to ‘put a stop’ to cyberbullying after viral Olympics diss

MyKayla Skinner is pleading with Simone Biles to “put a stop” to cyberbullying.

One week after Biles made headlines for dissing her former teammate in an Instagram caption celebrating her 2024 Paris Olympics win, Skinner issued a response.

“I love our country and don’t want to take anything away from our athletes,” the 27-year-old captioned an Instagram video Tuesday. “Let’s use this time to build each other up, not tear others down ❤️🇺🇸.”

Simone can’t do a thing to stop this. Her own husband has been bullied nonstop for a YEAR now because he made an ill-advised joke. Simone is still being bullied for TOKYO — and Skinner’s comments helped to fuel that. Don’t put this on Simone. The internet doesn’t forget. It doesn’t forgive. Simone is powerless. Don’t be on the internet if you can’t handle psychos. This ain’t on Simone. Sorry.

[GENESE]

She blocked simone, so she didnt post this for simone. She posted this for the media

[JessicaHa]

So, she shades the olympic team, gets the shade back, and now Simone's job to stop people's reactions???? She could have just asked people to stop without asking Simone to do that...

[ElizabethChang-cn]

You started it. Please don’t play the victim now

[christophercox]

Boy is she lying. She did something now she’s blaming Simone. She should never have done what she did. Now she is calling for support when she disrespected her teammates. Sorry hope she reads this. She is beyond vile.

[sschumer]

So she's claiming cyber bullying and threats when SHE herself is the one who made those ridiculous comments in the first place. Now because Simone threw her words back at her, it's a problem??? 👀
Mam you created this mess yourself. Simone didn't even say anything bad, harsh nor evil. She literally just repeated your own very words with a picture. Nothing more, nothing less. This is your mess not hers. She doesn't need to stop a thing

[Stephanie-vwqq]

She instigated the drama, now she's playing the victim. 🙄

[Ultraquickly]

mykayla gave us the most unapologetic apology ever. she enjoys gaslighting people huh

[NurayNiL]

🤮 She's twisting everything now. Gaslighting alert.

[stephaniesmith]

She has made so many comments over the years and never learned, now she is playing the victim, she is 27! She said flat out that safesport is bad because coaches cant yell at kids. She needs to stop the victim playing and just get off social media, she will never take accountability

[mel...s]

Leave simone alone. Leave the olympic champions alone. Close your mouth and stop teying to take attention away from the hardworking women who just won olympic gold. How selfish can you be to continue to bother these young ladies.
Fix the mess you made. No one is obligated to clean up behind you!

[elainesalvador]

But she did diss the girls on the team, excluding Simone. She should have never opened her mouth in the beginning.

[jno]

Perhaps she shouldn’t have said what she did and perhaps she should just reach out to Simone herself. Just saying. Doing this this way is only for attention.

[collectorofdolls]

Why didn't she reach out to Simone directly and privately as opposed to making another public statement?

[THTDCTR]

Stop the cap - you went for the team and trying to back track - we all heard what you said - do you think people are dense

[jamarr]

The other girls probably didn't reply because they know how fake she is. Simone was just being nice by replying.

[darrylskylar]

I knew Mykayla was going to do this. NO ONE should be threatening Mykayla or her family and people take things way too far. However, Mykayla is upset over a situation SHE created HERSELF! This is not on Simone.

[BlessedOvercomer]

She is faulting simone for people attacking her...she still doesn't get

[BlessedOvercomer]

Simone never mentioned her name once and now she's blaming simone for people attacking her....whoa....people were attacking her before simone ever posted the medal picture....

[vicenteturner]

Of course shes plays the victim, once no one agrees with her You should have just shut your mouth.
