Simone Biles vs MyKayla Skinner: The Truth Behind the Viral Olympic Post and the Cyberbullying Controversy

Following her recent victory at the Paris Olympics, Simone Biles appeared to make a comment directed at her former teammate, MyKayla Skinner, which has sparked considerable interest and speculation among fans. This intrigue stems from Biles’ social media posts that seemed to allude to a previous controversy involving Skinner. Fans are now eager to find out what happened between the former gymnastics teammates. Here are all the details.

Following her gold medal at the Paris Olympics, Simone Biles appeared to respond to MyKayla Skinner's earlier comments. Biles shared photos of herself alongside Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera celebrating their victory in the women's gymnastics team finals. Her Instagram post included a caption that read, "lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions."

The controversy began when Skinner, in a now-deleted YouTube video, questioned the depth of talent among American gymnasts, claiming that many lacked the necessary work ethic. She said, "I feel like besides Simone, the talent and the depth just isn't what it used to be. A lot of the girls don't work as hard. The girls just don't have the work ethic."
