MyKayla Skinner Says She’s Receiving Death Threats, Pleads With Simone Biles ‘To Put A Stop To This’
MyKayla Skinner is now pleading with Simone Biles to “put a stop” to the online attacks she and her family are receiving from the 11-time Olympic medalist’s fans.
You may recall that MyKayla, who competed alongside Simone in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, threw major shade at Team USA when she said, “Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn’t, like, what it used to be.”
She also criticized their work ethic, saying the “girls just don’t work as hard.”
Well, after Team USA scooped the Gold in the Paris Olympics, Simone Biles tapped into her inner “Petty LaBelle” and took to Instagram, writing, “lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions ❤️🥇🇺🇸”
When MyKayla Skinner caught that direct shot – she hit Simone with a swift block!
Simone Biles laughed off the gesture when she tweeted, “oop I’ve been blocked 👀🫢😂”
Hours after MyKayla released her video, Simone took to Twitter writing, “just woke up from a much needed nap.”
