MyKayla Skinner Urges Fans to Stop Cyberbullying Simone Biles After Controversial Comments
In a heartfelt message of support, Olympic gymnast MyKayla Skinner has called for an end to the cyberbullying Simone Biles is facing following a recent controversy surrounding her comments. Skinner, who has been a close friend and teammate of Biles, spoke out on social media to address the online harassment that has intensified after Biles made remarks that some people misinterpreted or took out of context.
The controversy began when Biles made statements that sparked backlash from certain sections of the gymnastics community and the public. Though her words were meant to share her personal experience and challenges, they were perceived by some as controversial, leading to a flood of negative comments on her social media accounts.
In response to the growing cyberbullying, Skinner took to her own platform to defend her fellow gymnast, urging people to think before posting hurtful comments. “Simone has been through so much in her career already,” Skinner wrote. “She doesn’t deserve this hate. What she needs right now is our support and understanding. The gymnastics world should be lifting each other up, not tearing each other down.”
Skinner also emphasized the importance of mental health and the toll that online negativity can take on individuals, particularly those in the public eye. She reminded fans that Biles has been open about her own struggles with mental health, including stepping back from events
