MyKayla Skinner sends message to Simone Biles with call to put end to ‘online bullying’
MyKayla Skinner directly addressed Simone Biles in an Instagram video calling on her former teammate to put an end to the criticism she received online amid the gymnasts’ drama.
The 27-year-old former Team USA athlete posted the clip after Biles seemingly referenced Skinner’s remarks about the women’s gymnastics team’s lack of “worth ethic” in her post celebrating her win in the all-around event at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Skinner, who has apologised for her past comments, claims she’s been bullied online and said she has received threats of harm to her family.
“To Simone, I am asking you directly and publicly to please put a stop to this. Please ask your followers to stop,” Skinner said.
