Simone Biles is hoping “y’all are having a better day” than her because she is definitely not having it.
The Olympic gold medalist recently took to her Instagram to share a horrible experience she’s been dealing with.
Biles shared a screenshot of a text message she received from an unknown sender questioning her experience with abuse by team doctor Larry Nassar.
“Were you molested by that Nasser coach?” the first text read.
Additionally, the text criticized her for discussing her marriage online.
“Also don’t go on the internet taking criticism from strangers about your husband or marriage. It shows how young and immature you really are damaged goods,” the second text read.
Biles, who has won 11 Olympic medals and is celebrated for her contributions to gymnastics, expressed her dismay at the message in her Instagram Story.
She wrote, “Hope y’all are having a better day than me. These are the texts I receive from random a** numbers. Btw y’all are f***in weird for this.”
FYI, Larry Nassar was a well-known doctor at Michigan State University and worked with USA Gymnastics, but he misused his position in a very harmful way. Instead of helping young female athletes, he took advantage of them under the pretense of medical treatment.
This terrible betrayal has had lasting effects, leading to more than $1 billion set aside to support Nassar’s victims.
The situation became even more troubling when the Justice Department admitted that it failed to take action before 2016, even after investigators found disturbing images related to child abuse in Nassar’s possession.
This oversight contributed to what has become one of the biggest scandals in sports history.
Simone Biles Gets Emotional After Reports Reveal U.S. Gymnastics Didn’t Investigate Larry Nassar’s Abuse
Simone Biles has publicly expressed her pain following a recent report claiming that USA Gymnastics did not investigate allegations of abuse against her by team doctor Larry Nassar.
The Wall Street Journal’s article suggests that Biles was intentionally kept uninformed during the investigation into Nassar’s actions.
Biles, who was among the first to speak out against Nassar, shared her feelings on X (formerly Twitter).
“Can’t tell you how hard this is to read and process. The pain is real and doesn’t just go away…especially when new facts are still coming out. What’s it going to take for a complete and independent investigation of both USOPC and USAG???” she tweeted.
Alongside Biles, over 140 women, including fellow gymnasts Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, and McKayla Maroney, have accused Nassar of sexual abuse.
He is currently imprisoned for his crimes.
