Simone Biles recently found herself at the center of social media controversy—not for her astounding gymnastics, but for her “fried” hair. In a bold move, she delivered a clear message to her critics.
Simone Biles has been competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics, but her journey to gold was unexpectedly met with criticism from netizens regarding her hair. The world-renowned gymnast didn’t hesitate to address her critics.
The 27-year-old athlete recently posted a video to her Instagram story, sharing a light-hearted yet firm message, “don’t come for me about my hair [sic].”
Seated on a bus and dealing with soaring temperatures, Simone explained, “IT WAS DONE but bus has NO AC & it’s like 9,0000 degrees.” She added, “oh & a 45 min ride [sic].”
Simone was more direct in another post, stating, “gonna hold my hand when I say this…next time you wanna comment on a black girls hair. JUST DON’T [sic].” Her statement led to various reactions on social media.
