Simone Biles’ bitter Olympic feud with MyKayla Skinner escalates as USA teammate piles in after gold medal win
Biles and Lee led USA to victory in the teams final at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday, capturing their first gold medals of the Games with an impressive score of 171.296.
After the win, Biles couldn’t resist leaping to her teammate’s defense while taking aim at an old one in Skinner, who recently sparked controversy by questioning the current American squad’s ‘work ethic’ and dedication to their craft.

And to show her support for Biles, Lee joined her fellow USA star in mocking Skinner by writing in the comments section: ‘put a finger down if simone biles just ended you’ along with a hand emoji.
The 21-year-old appeared to be referencing a TikTok trend where users put a finger down when a speaker says a statement that applies to them.
Jordan Chiles, Biles and Lee’s USA teammate, also wrote: ‘and that’s on periodt!!’
Skinner made her controversial remarks earlier this month in a now-deleted YouTube video.
‘Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn’t like what it used to be,’ MyKayla, who won an Olympic silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Games, said in the video
The girls just don’t have the work ethic.’
Despite Skinner excluding her from that brutal assessment, Biles ignited a feud with her ex-gymnastics buddy by appearing to hit back at her on social media at the time.
The USA Olympic legend took a thinly-veiled swipe at her by writing on Threads: ‘not everyone needs a mic and a platform
