Simone Biles Expertly Claps Back After Being Called A Bad Role Model

Simone Biles Expertly Claps Back After Being Called A Bad Role Model

Do not come for Simone Biles.

The Olympian posted a relaxed Instagram of herself on a beach Saturday and apparently someone decided to deride her. A user posted a comment, which has since been deleted, about how much time off Biles seems to have been taking for herself. Biles posted a screenshot of the insult and posted it to her Twitter account.

Remember, the internet keeps receipts.

โ€œSeems like you have partied non stop for a year,โ€ the user commented. โ€#Trash #unfollow #suckyassrolemodel.โ€

The 20-year-old Olympian was not about to let that stand.

โ€œTalk to me when you train for 14 years and earn 5 Olympic medals,โ€ Biles said. โ€œI think kids would say otherwise. My year off is well deserved. Take a couple seats.โ€

In case anyone needed a reminder, Biles began training as a gymnast in 2003 at six-years-old. She took home four gold medals and one bronze in the 2016 Rio Olympics. Letโ€™s not even begin to mention the number of world championship medals sheโ€™s accumulated over the years. Sheโ€™s not even legally allowed to drink in the United States but sheโ€™s received international attention for her accomplishments.

So yeah, needless to say Biles is probably the last college-aged American who deserves the title of lazy.

Her fans were thrilled that she didnโ€™t allow the nasty remark to slide.

Guess you could say Bilesโ€™ reply really โ€œstuck.โ€
