Simone Biles defends her husband, Jonathan Owens, from malicious trolls on social media. Addressing her Instagram Stories on May 19, the 27-year-old gymnast warned online users that she will block them if they continue to tag her in negative comments about Jonathan, 28.
«I want to quickly address this, a joke was never a joke!» Simone wrote against a rainbow background in one of her Instagram Stories. «You are clearly showing disrespect to my relationship and my husband. So I will say this once. Respectfully, back off».
The Olympic champion added that if users «continue to comment or write to me on Twitter, I will simply block you. Just like that».
«And no, I don’t need to touch the grass or anything like that», - she concluded, adding: «@ everyone else who supports us, we love you very much».
Jonathan wrote his part in his Instagram Stories. «Pretending to be angry about people you don’t know anything about is strange behavior», - he wrote.
It is unclear which comments Simone and Jonathan were referring to. However, the footballer has been criticized in recent months for saying that men are «prey» in relationships. In December 2023, Jonathan appeared on the podcast «The Pivot», - where he talked about his love story with Simone. Before meeting the greatest gymnast of all time, the Chicago Bears player admitted that he knew little about her, even though her gymnastics career brought her fame.
«I always say, men are prey», - Jonathan said in his podcast appearance. «I think, 'Let's see who this is.' I never paid attention to gymnastics, so it piqued my curiosity».
Fans perceived Jonathan’s comment as a reproach to Simone. However, she insisted that his statement did not create problems between them. During her appearance on the «Call Her Daddy» podcast in April, Simone admitted that criticism of Jonathan hurt her feelings.
«At first, I thought it was funny, and then [people] hurt my feelings», - she said. «Once I broke down and asked, 'Why are you talking about my husband like that? You don’t know him. You don’t know who he is. And if anyone has met him, they know he’s the kindest guy and will do anything for everyone»
