How Simone Biles Felt About Jonathan Owens’ Viral Romance Comments

Simone Biles goes to the mat for her husband Jonathan Owens.

Nearly four months after the footballer’s viral interview, the Olympian shared her reaction to public criticism and people calling for her to divorce.

“I thought it was hilarious at first, and then they hurt my feelings,” Simone said on the April 17 episode of the show. Call her daddy podcast. “And then one night I broke down and was like, ‘Why are you talking about my husband like that? You don’t know him. You don’t know who he is. What if someone has him? met, they know he’s the nicest guy and will do anything for anyone.'”

And ultimately, the gymnast found that some online comments went too far.

“It really hurts that they talk about my husband like that,” she continued. “Because for me, it’s like, ‘Talk about me all you want, but don’t come for my family, ever.’ Because I’ve been in the spotlight long enough to be able to forget about things, have my little powwow about it You won’t know I cried about it, but I cry about some things But I. only cry because of that because I can’t clap, just know that.
