@@daChosenone3 Im disappointed in all you idiots judging these champions why sitting on your azz! Simone Biles is the most decorated gymnast in HISTORY! TF are you even talking about?!
I definitely wouldn't call this Olympic team lazy. They performed skills at a level that's never been done before. Congrats to these Olympic gold medalists! Well deserved.🇺🇸⭐🥇
Skinner's comments were completely inappropriate and uncalled for and Simone Biles had every right to clap back. Not only did Biles and the rest of the team work incredibly hard, they also did it while putting their own health (including their mental health) first, something that has never been a priority in women's gymnastics. Not only have they won gold, BUT they have made a positive change in the sport for thousands of young women, showing that you can succeed in gymnastics without condoning abusive tactics. That achievement alone is worth even more than a gold medal in my opinion, as it will lead to women being saved from abuse and other negative consequences.
Perfectly put! I come from a swimming background in the 80's and still talk to former teammates, not everything back then was good re coaching. We all survived and are happy. But seeing these amazing women stand up and make such a difference for Safe Sport is everything and your post sums it up! Hannah x

Remember: Skinner retweeted an attack on Gabby Douglas that had several monkey emojis--leaving no room for interpretation--when Gabby made the Olympic team over her.
Love how MyKayla blamed Marta for her comments. She has to take responsibility for her own comments. Get some therapy for the trauma she faced so that she will not verbally and emotionally abuse others while they're trying to accomplish their goals. She did the same to Gabby Douglas when she made the team over her in 2016. She's been bitter about other women's success. Time to own up to it and heal...
No I think that she has a problem with black women winning over her 😢 even on Google they try to say that Simone only had 19 different Meadows and awards when she has over 30 something smdh😢
I'm pretty sure MyKayla wants to go back to the "good old days" of gymnastics when: 1. Gymnasts starved themselves to fit a certain body type, to the point of having an eating disorder, and some gymnasts even died, like Christy Henrich in 1994 due to anorexia. 2. When gymnasts were abused physically, verbally and mentally by their coaches, assistant coaches, other gymnasts, judges in competitions and staff. 3. They were at risk of being kicked out the team if they gained weight, were deemed too "old" to the point that they were replaced by a younger gymnast, in addition to dealing with injuries, surgeries, and were forced to retire before the age of 20 without having had the opportunity to have a career in gymnastics.
Oh, that's perfect, mckayla. The work ethic of being starved for food and water, of working so hard you skip your period until your 20s, of putting up with abuse by adults. Sound great mckayla!
Simone didn’t need to clap. She wasn’t included in those comments but she took charge. Thats leadership, in vicious fashion. She came a long way since the Tokyo crash out. What a legend🇺🇸🇺🇸
Please dont act like we are a Monolith, ok? All comments like yours does is add fuel to the fire (that bm started no less) and narrative that we are aggressive and combative.
Not necessary to social media clap back, the gold speaks for itself and is the mic drop . I’m so tired of social media wars of words. Congrats to our USA gymnasts 🎉 but let that mess go don’t show them it ever bothered you
@@chancegoode173 yeah its kind of easy to clap back when you bring home the gold. that wasnt the case simone wouldnt of said shit. That being said... This is Simone Biles. You should never talk shit about the GOAT period. I thought we been through this before with MJ. Skills will always Trump Bullshit talking.
It’s tacky and unnecessary. MyKayla doesn’t deserve a minute from this team. I don’t know. It screams petty. Instead of celebrating they focus on clapping back immediately.
If she wanted to clap back she should have spoke up about the cardboard box beds or no A/C or idk the dude that knocked that chick out. How about better treatment and pay for the finest athletes in the world🙄
I knew there was a dark attitude about her when they were together. She just exposed herself what was in her heart for a long time. Don't listen to the naysayers Simone. It comes especially when a black person excels. It is God -- with your hard work that brought you this way. The Scripture says, "your gift will make room for you and bring you before great men."
I would not have focused on such negativity if I were them. It's like giving her attention when nobody was even checking for her. Just celebrate the win & keep it pushing. This would have been a great example of, "When they go low, you go high," moment. Let her be ashamed on her own with the win without saying anything directly to her or even showing that she blocked you. The focus should be on them & their win, period!
I have to agree with this. By reacting to McKayla Skinner, the fabulous golden girls are sinking to her level. I agree they shoulda just let it go, and kept their dignity, kept their heads held high and out of the negativity. Yes, emulate Michelle Obama-when McKayla goes low, you go high. Don’t taint your win with this negativity by picking up the rope. You don’t need to swim in the waters of negativity with McKayla. You girls are better than that. Revel in your win. We all know what McKayla said.
You are dealing with "social media" juveniles here even if SB is 27 years old. She is celebrity now. Totally mean girl shit to keep this going on. MS apologized. Let it go. And yes, they have tarnished their Olympic reputation by responding at all. Win the medals. Let those speak for your success rather than open your mouth and show everyone the truth. I dislike this team so much. Each one is just so full of themselves. And I am so sick of BGM. ugh.
@@CarolynCressette If she had kept her pie hole shut, there wouldn't have been a need to apologize to begin with. MS brought this on herself and she deserves the dragging she's getting on social media. SHE was a juvenile because she was the one who CHOSE to post this crap without thought. Don't try and help clean up what she crapped out. It's too easy to post B.S. and then come back with a faux apology. If she was sincere, why block someone who clapped back? She only "apologized" because she knew everyone was coming for her. THE ENTIRE TEAM worked their azzes off to get this far, AND WON the gold. Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you need to express it.
Not hard to imagine. Your biggest nemesis/friend turned enemy is always your team mate. I was in karate and my own teammate was always jealous. Then we in same weight class -biggest enemy -want to start a business >>biggest nemesis
I really rooted for Mykayla... When she got that spot and medaled due to a series of events that gave her the chance to compete. Her comments were uncalled for and lacked awareness of her own technical capabilities (i.e., one-handed blocks off that vault table, incurring deductions EVERY time). I'm glad Simone (and my fave Mykayla) clapped back! 👏🏻
@@Crumb_Baby Hi, lil keyboard warrior in your mom's basement who has no friends! 👋🏻🤪 "SERIES of events." Reading comprehension is key in life. Try to pay attention this time. Jade Carey, who was predicted to bring home the gold vault medal after that, had issues with her first vault, and she ended up not medaling. Had Jade hit her vault like she did a million times before, Mykayla would've gone home empty-handed.
Skinner is a hater. Starts to sound like a Karen in the making. Give credit where credit is due. Biles is a tremendous gymnast and won 8 gold for a reason. She is human and will have set back like in Tokyo. But Paris seal the deal. Until Skinner has 8, she better to keep moving along. Like my mother alway said, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"
There are several reasons why athletes are selected for the United States gymnastics team. One of them comes down to personality. They want you to be a team player. It’s obvious from Skinners’s ‘s comments that is not what she is. People might criticize Simone for defending herself and her team, but that’s the attitude that we want for our team! That’s the winning attitude. Moreover, having the right attitude takes work, and apparently Skinner was too lazy to put in that work.
@@epicwolf unfortunately I would like to agree with you. But unfortunately, I’ve seen enough negative people in comments sections to know that people criticize her. They’re going to criticize her just for being Simone.
@@epicwolfWell according to some comments this is the same chick who was upset about Gabby beating her out so she went on social media and started using monkey emojis when referring to her..
I have to agree with one of the commenters who said to emulate Michelle Obama, and when people go low, we go high. I think it shows much more dignity and class to not react to negative comments from people who for some reason just can’t be there for us. By not picking up the rope we live a life based on dignity and grace. I’d like to see our golden girls not react to the the negativity and just focus on their fabulous win, their adoring fans and winning more medals. Maybe even having some empathy for McKayla, who for some reason, couldn’t be positive for the girls. It’s speaks of her, not the girls. Don’t make this like high school girls,, you’re much bette than this. Like the commenter said, when people go low, we go high. Go high Simone and girls and just focus on your fabulous wins. Don’t get dragged down by people who can’t be happy for you.
MyKayla, jealousy does not become you! Try another color on you, than green with envy! Simone and the 2024 USA Gymnastic Teams both Women and Men ROCK!👏👏♥♥
I'm super disappointed in mykayla . To be honest if it wasn't for Simone dropping out last Olympics 2020 she never woulda have made it! She filled in cause they needed another person. JEALOUSY
Mykala is giving ‘bad belle’ vibes and truth be told, never knew of or about her until this and let’s face it, no one cared for her and gymnastics prior to now. It hurts her that most of the team are not white.
I think what McKayla said was so disrespectful, but the petty behavior from Simone is only bringing her down to that level. You’re a legend Simone, keep that gold medalist attitude and don’t concern yourself with the sheep.
Breaking abusive mindsets is hard it doesn’t excuse her actions but I think people should keep in mind the effects the toxic environment had on those trained in them from a young age. I hope these Olympics can help show that a safe and supportive space is what these women deserve.
Since these women / girls are so famous and 2:51 many of them so young I HOPE SO MUCH that they get offered assistance and guidance from press / media experts. As much as possible should be dealt with privately before putting it out there to millions of people. It can turn so ugly and can be so harmful psychologically if public opinion suddenly turn against you negatively. I know 2 x Mckayla and Simone are mid twenties but Hezly is in one of the videos too…
I can’t believe Simone is so ahead of everyone else in this sport. It’s like MJ playing in G-league for his entire career, no one can touch her and she might just be back in 2028.
I don't like seeing Simone Biles 'clapping back.' I feel she is above all that noise and considering I didn't know a single thing about any of this prior to watching this video... I'm shocked. It feels disingenuous and petty.
Take it however you will. Skinner did state in a video that her comments were never meant towards those on the current team shortly after she posted her initial video. She stated that she was referring to those that were not around during the Karolyi era (so probably people under the age of 10 at this point). Which all these girls, even the youngest, were a part of (the Karolyi era) and impacted by. Personally, I am not sure if her explanation was truthful or not. I do wish that the girls did not respond because it is irrelevant at this point and may look bad in future years. Either way, I hope that all sides can prosper and do not receive hateful comments from keyboard warriors.
Funny, I almost felt bad for Mykayla when I saw her apology and thought that it was maybe just a misunderstanding. But then she blocked Simone, the de facto leader of the team she’s apologizing to! Well, c’mon now! That’s not right! If you’re going to apologize, you should mean it or just keep quiet. Lesson not learned!
I think everyone is being too harsh on Skinner. I don't know her history in regards to Gabby Douglas or other issues. She was obviously wrong in regards to the Team's potential. However, people have the right to be wrong without being viciously attacked. It's fair for her to tie her comments to her coaching past. The education recieved during early formative years matters tremendously to the human psyche. The Karolys have been exposed in recent years for abusive coaching. This after USA Gymnastics condoned it in exchange for winning. It's not Skinner's fault she was raised this way. Elite athletics is always super competitve which means it brings out super competitive people. This often creates friction between teammates. She said what was on her mind as someone who grew up in that environment. It often takes being aggressive and harsh to succeed. Ok, she couldn't back up her words and attitude with being the very best of the best. However, she is still one of the very best gymnasts ever with a Silver Olympic medal. I'm not saying she was a great teammate or the most gracious competitor. I don' t know. I'm just saying maybe we should have as much patience and consideration as possible for people like Skinner who come up in harsh conditions and then reflect that in their behavior. After all, the tone of her words were fairly mild and thoughtful. She appears to have been wrong, that's Ok. After all, maybe she saw or heard some things that made her question their work ethic. Either way, the results speak for themselves. Let's remember she's still young herself and has a lot to learn.
What did Skinner expect? Is she stupid? I have no sympathy for anyone who goes out of their way to post mean spirited comments online, but then complains when they are dragged around the block as a result.
Skinner should have known better to make those comments when each member of the 2024 Olympic female gymnastics team is a team Superstars earned because of their own individual talents.
What is what is Mikayla Skinner is jealous but she’s a one time Olympian and four of the girls on this. Paris team are multiple time Olympians. I don’t get why she made that comment I mean besides jealousy she was going through similar things or how the environment was and two of our girls on our team this year we’re doing collegiate gymnastics, and then finish that up to get back into elite training soI follow followed her on Instagram
This whole girl drama is so stupid and quite frankly blown out of proportion. I wish all sides would just choose to be the bigger person and be gracious and forgiving to one another. All the girls involved are acting like mean girls from high school. I love Simone but she should have just let their gold medal win speak for itself. You don’t need to clap back for the sake of clapping back - you can just do the work and prove them wrong by your win.
Mykayla's comments were about everyone BUT Simone. I think Simone feels the need to protect the other girls. She's the oldest. She's been to the Olympics for 3 quads. She suffered through the Karolyi era. I feel she's just being the "grandma" hen of the group. When you're the GOAT, you can say anything. I'm glad she stuck up for the girls, she has nothing to prove. 🥇🇺🇸
Great Video. My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life as anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
I have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about two years ago, but I could not let her go, so I had to do all I could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back, now we are back together, and I must say I am enjoying every moment...
She did say "besides Simone" however she still talked about someone. ""“Obviously, a lot of girls don’t work as hard ... The girls just don’t have the work ethic.”""........ANY generalization is a bad one. Simone probably jumped in for the camaraderie.
@@lynn2594 And the attention. Who cares ??? NADIE AND OGLA still remain the best ever !!! I do not like all that fast running and hard landings and loud thumping in today’s routines. NADIE & OGLA had grace and seem to float beautiful in their routines.
Skinner should not have made negative comments ahead of the Olympics, not because she is not entitled to her opinions, but as a former olympic gymnast, she should have supported the US Team. However, as much as I respected Biles and Lee for their achievements, I cringe from their graceless comments and vindictive behaviour towards Skinner, who has apologized already. Why could not these two royalties of gymnastics take the high road and be able to move past the misguided comments? I don`t blame Skinner for blocking Biles, as she is now behaving like a complete bully, and I`m surprised that team leadership not telling Biles and Lee and others to stop. Biles and Lee`s behaviour look like two college students, who are on social media after a night of partying. Totally disgraceful, and not deserving any respects. I was cheering for Biles and Lee and likely they`ll do well in the all around. However in this debacle I feel they turned it around and Skinner has become the victim. I hope both retire and disappear from gymnastics as this kind of behaviour is a bad example for young girls. Biles just proved that she will never live up to the grace and legend of the Magnificient Seven. She appears like a total narcissist, being offended easily, and leading a group campaign to bully and cancel someone. Shocking that how many here are egging her on and feel it is justified to be a ruthless public shamer.
100% agree. Well put. Skinner was out of line, promptly apologised. She made a mistake. The girls went on to win gold, which is fantastic, but no need to bring up Skinner's prior comments and try to cancel the crap out of Skinner. How about humbly handle the glory. Skinner wouldve received a monstrous amount of hate already for what she said, so shes blocked them, Jordan then goes to post that snickery snap, classless and petty. They should've taken the higher road. Plays into society's nonsensical cancel culture. Destroys lives. Let it go girls.
She gave her opinion and her opinion was over critical, the girls are making mistakes and it’s hard to accept that there’s been a change in the way the athletes are judged
So why are people not allowed to have an opinion? Skinner is allowed to have an opinion and people can dislike her for her opinion. Don’t understand why so many snowflakes make this a big issue.
Lol. You said “people can dislike her for her opinion” which is what happened but then you went on with your next sentence which contradicts the previous sentence. Make up your mind. Either people can dislike her comment or they can’t. And yeah she is allowed to have her own opinion and so do others in response to that. Don’t understand how having a response is a snowflake thing since you yourself obviously have a response as well
@@Jackie.D329 yeah people can dislike what she says. I personally don’t think what Skinner said was that bad. She’s probably a bit self centered and unhappy about her current situation, but that’s what most human beings are like. The fact that she got so much backlash for what she said shows how oppressive and judgmental the gymnastics community is. I understand criticizing skinners statements when they first came out. But you still got people rehashing this petty issue. It honestly makes me think less of team USA and Simone biles. Instead of celebrating their amazing achievements at the Olympics and focusing on themselves, they are showing the petty drama queen side of themselves by throwing a past teammate under the bus after she was already humiliated for having an unpopular opinion. I respect Simone biles ability like everyone does, but her pro active comment and rehashing of this dumb drama makes me lose some respect for her as a person. She’s already on top of the world. Act like a model champion instead of taking time to kick someone else when they are down.

Honey, you won silver. So relax.
That’s exactly why she CAN’T relax. She won the silver, not the GOLD.
AND she was an alternate like brooo why are you heated🥴🤨😝🤨🤨
Love how MyKayla blamed Marta for her comments. She has to take responsibility for her own comments. Get some therapy for the trauma she faced so that she will not verbally and emotionally abuse others while they're trying to accomplish their goals. She did the same to Gabby Douglas when she made the team over her in 2016. She's been bitter about other women's success. Time to own up to it and heal...
A narcissist can never change. Not in their lifetime.
No I think that she has a problem with black women winning over her 😢 even on Google they try to say that Simone only had 19 different Meadows and awards when she has over 30 something smdh😢
I'm pretty sure MyKayla wants to go back to the "good old days" of gymnastics when:
1. Gymnasts starved themselves to fit a certain body type, to the point of having an eating disorder, and some gymnasts even died, like Christy Henrich in 1994 due to anorexia.
2. When gymnasts were abused physically, verbally and mentally by their coaches, assistant coaches, other gymnasts, judges in competitions and staff.
3. They were at risk of being kicked out the team if they gained weight, were deemed too "old" to the point that they were replaced by a younger gymnast, in addition to dealing with injuries, surgeries, and were forced to retire before the age of 20 without having had the opportunity to have a career in gymnastics.
Oh, that's perfect, mckayla. The work ethic of being starved for food and water, of working so hard you skip your period until your 20s, of putting up with abuse by adults. Sound great mckayla!
I’ll take the Olympics without a side of Drama please.🙄
Yes it’s so toxic when the press is trying to inflate things like this
Team USA worked as a team 🎉🎉 just with any sport they always have an clean up 🧹 and they made GOLD 🏅🏅🥇
Simone didn’t need to clap. She wasn’t included in those comments but she took charge. Thats leadership, in vicious fashion. She came a long way since the Tokyo crash out. What a legend🇺🇸🇺🇸
If that's a compliment I would hate to see what you do or say about somebody that you don't like 💯😡
@@Rochelleingram-v7p I don’t understand what you mean 😂
One thing about our sisters...they gonna CLAP BACK! Good for them.
Please dont act like we are a Monolith, ok? All comments like yours does is add fuel to the fire (that bm started no less) and narrative that we are aggressive and combative.
Not necessary to social media clap back, the gold speaks for itself and is the mic drop . I’m so tired of social media wars of words. Congrats to our USA gymnasts 🎉 but let that mess go don’t show them it ever bothered you
@@chancegoode173 yeah its kind of easy to clap back when you bring home the gold. that wasnt the case simone wouldnt of said shit. That being said... This is Simone Biles. You should never talk shit about the GOAT period. I thought we been through this before with MJ. Skills will always Trump Bullshit talking.
It’s tacky and unnecessary. MyKayla doesn’t deserve a minute from this team. I don’t know. It screams petty. Instead of celebrating they focus on clapping back immediately.
If she wanted to clap back she should have spoke up about the cardboard box beds or no A/C or idk the dude that knocked that chick out. How about better treatment and pay for the finest athletes in the world🙄
Good on McKayla Maroney for distancing herself from looser Skinner. "Will the REAL McKayla please stand up!"
That’s what My-Kayla’s mom misspelled 🤦🏻♀️😅
I knew there was a dark attitude about her when they were together. She just exposed herself what was in her heart for a long time. Don't listen to the naysayers Simone. It comes especially when a black person excels. It is God -- with your hard work that brought you this way. The Scripture says, "your gift will make room for you and bring you before great men."
Dark attitude - what made you think that? I don't follow Skinner that much but curious
👐🏽👐🏽👐🏽👐🏽 Amen we are the chosen ones for a reason 💯❣️🙏🏽
I would not have focused on such negativity if I were them. It's like giving her attention when nobody was even checking for her. Just celebrate the win & keep it pushing. This would have been a great example of, "When they go low, you go high," moment. Let her be ashamed on her own with the win without saying anything directly to her or even showing that she blocked you. The focus should be on them & their win, period!
I have to agree with this. By reacting to McKayla Skinner, the fabulous golden girls are sinking to her level. I agree they shoulda just let it go, and kept their dignity, kept their heads held high and out of the negativity. Yes, emulate Michelle Obama-when McKayla goes low, you go high. Don’t taint your win with this negativity by picking up the rope. You don’t need to swim in the waters of negativity with McKayla. You girls are better than that. Revel in your win. We all know what McKayla said.
You are dealing with "social media" juveniles here even if SB is 27 years old. She is celebrity now. Totally mean girl shit to keep this going on. MS apologized. Let it go. And yes, they have tarnished their Olympic reputation by responding at all. Win the medals. Let those speak for your success rather than open your mouth and show everyone the truth. I dislike this team so much. Each one is just so full of themselves. And I am so sick of BGM. ugh.
@@CarolynCressette you hate them and here you are feeding yourself with their drama 😂😂😂
@@CarolynCressette
If she had kept her pie hole shut, there wouldn't have been a need to apologize to begin with. MS brought this on herself and she deserves the dragging she's getting on social media. SHE was a juvenile because she was the one who CHOSE to post this crap without thought. Don't try and help clean up what she crapped out. It's too easy to post B.S. and then come back with a faux apology. If she was sincere, why block someone who clapped back? She only "apologized" because she knew everyone was coming for her. THE ENTIRE TEAM worked their azzes off to get this far, AND WON the gold. Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you need to express it.
Agreed
McKayla M’s comment about her name… 😂
Would LOVE to hear Suni's response to MyKayla as well. BURRRRRRRNNNNNN!!!!!!
How you hating from outside the club? YOU CAN’T EVEN GET IN
😂😂😂😂
Not hard to imagine. Your biggest nemesis/friend turned enemy is always your team mate. I was in karate and my own teammate was always jealous. Then we in same weight class -biggest enemy -want to start a business >>biggest nemesis
I really rooted for Mykayla... When she got that spot and medaled due to a series of events that gave her the chance to compete.
Her comments were uncalled for and lacked awareness of her own technical capabilities (i.e., one-handed blocks off that vault table, incurring deductions EVERY time). I'm glad Simone (and my fave Mykayla) clapped back! 👏🏻
A series of events? You mean when Biles quit on her team? That series of events? 🤪
@@Crumb_Baby Hi, lil keyboard warrior in your mom's basement who has no friends! 👋🏻🤪
"SERIES of events." Reading comprehension is key in life. Try to pay attention this time.
Jade Carey, who was predicted to bring home the gold vault medal after that, had issues with her first vault, and she ended up not medaling. Had Jade hit her vault like she did a million times before, Mykayla would've gone home empty-handed.
Winning the gold medal is such a flex lol
Skinner is a hater. Starts to sound like a Karen in the making. Give credit where credit is due. Biles is a tremendous gymnast and won 8 gold for a reason. She is human and will have set back like in Tokyo. But Paris seal the deal. Until Skinner has 8, she better to keep moving along. Like my mother alway said, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"
you should take your mothers advise.
Olympics: Yep your banned have a goodnight
There are several reasons why athletes are selected for the United States gymnastics team. One of them comes down to personality. They want you to be a team player. It’s obvious from Skinners’s ‘s comments that is not what she is. People might criticize Simone for defending herself and her team, but that’s the attitude that we want for our team! That’s the winning attitude. Moreover, having the right attitude takes work, and apparently Skinner was too lazy to put in that work.
Who criticize Simone for defending herself? I cannot find anyone that is on Skinner side on this
@@epicwolf unfortunately I would like to agree with you. But unfortunately, I’ve seen enough negative people in comments sections to know that people criticize her. They’re going to criticize her just for being Simone.
@@Jude74
You think there is a racial situation involved?
@@epicwolf no I think it comes down to ability.
@@epicwolfWell according to some comments this is the same chick who was upset about Gabby beating her out so she went on social media and started using monkey emojis when referring to her..
I have to agree with one of the commenters who said to emulate Michelle Obama, and when people go low, we go high. I think it shows much more dignity and class to not react to negative comments from people who for some reason just can’t be there for us. By not picking up the rope we live a life based on dignity and grace. I’d like to see our golden girls not react to the the negativity and just focus on their fabulous win, their adoring fans and winning more medals. Maybe even having some empathy for McKayla, who for some reason, couldn’t be positive for the girls. It’s speaks of her, not the girls. Don’t make this like high school girls,, you’re much bette than this. Like the commenter said, when people go low, we go high. Go high Simone and girls and just focus on your fabulous wins. Don’t get dragged down by people who can’t be happy for you.
MyKayla, jealousy does not become you! Try another color on you, than green with envy! Simone and the 2024 USA Gymnastic Teams both Women and Men ROCK!👏👏♥♥
Who is Mackaylah Skinner ? never heard of her.
Right , I only know Skinner from the Simpsons
Hmm after winning the gold that speaks for itself no words are needed. That’s the Microphone drop moment 😂
People forget the phrase, “the internet is forever.”
People always said the past is better....clearly some psychological bias
Her comments (MyKayla's) were low-key racist and bitter because they don't need her.
Jealousy
The trash took itself out
I'm super disappointed in mykayla . To be honest if it wasn't for Simone dropping out last Olympics 2020 she never woulda have made it! She filled in cause they needed another person. JEALOUSY
Girl Bye 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 nah baby stand on that disrespect bc the G.O.A.T has spoken next time talk to your therapist
McKayla Maroneyjust became as iconic as Simone with that comment, I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH! 😂❤
Jealous
OOOKKKKKK. enough DRAMA. Let's grow up girls. Rise Above
Envy and resentment in action.
Mykala is giving ‘bad belle’ vibes and truth be told, never knew of or about her until this and let’s face it, no one cared for her and gymnastics prior to now. It hurts her that most of the team are not white.
Yeah and I am sure Simone is crying herself to sleep every night after being blocked by that fool....NOT.
Mikayla! Blame YOUR lack of talent on Marta! Lol
Haters never prosper in the end😮 Simone showed her🎉
Karen got sit down. You don't compare to Simone! Where's your gold?
What's the point of her showing us that someone blocked her...
To show that apparently Skinner can dish it out, but can't take it!
Simmer down kids, the drama is stupid
WORK ETHICS IS IMPORTANT.
Don't forget that she photoshopped her face over another Olympian when she didn't make the cut. 😂 WEIRDO

Now that Bile's fans are attacking Skinner, Skinner is now pleading with Biles to get them to stop.
I think what McKayla said was so disrespectful, but the petty behavior from Simone is only bringing her down to that level. You’re a legend Simone, keep that gold medalist attitude and don’t concern yourself with the sheep.
Breaking abusive mindsets is hard it doesn’t excuse her actions but I think people should keep in mind the effects the toxic environment had on those trained in them from a young age. I hope these Olympics can help show that a safe and supportive space is what these women deserve.
It’s all fun and games until the clapback happens.

MyKayla Skinner is a great silver medalist. Simone and Team USA? Well, they're all gold.
Since these women / girls are so famous and 2:51 many of them so young I HOPE SO MUCH that they get offered assistance and guidance from press / media experts.
As much as possible should be dealt with privately before putting it out there to millions of people. It can turn so ugly and can be so harmful psychologically if public opinion suddenly turn against you negatively. I know 2 x Mckayla and Simone are mid twenties but Hezly is in one of the videos too…
I can’t believe Simone is so ahead of everyone else in this sport. It’s like MJ playing in G-league for his entire career, no one can touch her and she might just be back in 2028.
If Mykayla can’t stand the heat in the kitchen, she should have never started the fire. Yes Simone, tell her about herself👏
You'd think she'd be humble, being as though she was excluded from US's '12, '16 and '20 olympic teams originally.
Bye ALTERNATE! Congratulations on GOLD ladies 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I don't like seeing Simone Biles 'clapping back.' I feel she is above all that noise and considering I didn't know a single thing about any of this prior to watching this video... I'm shocked. It feels disingenuous and petty.
Crazy thing is I didn’t even know who Skinner was!!!! No 🧢
Take it however you will. Skinner did state in a video that her comments were never meant towards those on the current team shortly after she posted her initial video. She stated that she was referring to those that were not around during the Karolyi era (so probably people under the age of 10 at this point). Which all these girls, even the youngest, were a part of (the Karolyi era) and impacted by. Personally, I am not sure if her explanation was truthful or not. I do wish that the girls did not respond because it is irrelevant at this point and may look bad in future years. Either way, I hope that all sides can prosper and do not receive hateful comments from keyboard warriors.
That's a cop out from Skinner because she directly named Suni, Jade, Leanne in her comments. She was not only talking about new gymnasts.
Funny, I almost felt bad for Mykayla when I saw her apology and thought that it was maybe just a misunderstanding. But then she blocked Simone, the de facto leader of the team she’s apologizing to! Well, c’mon now! That’s not right! If you’re going to apologize, you should mean it or just keep quiet. Lesson not learned!
Her name is Biles? Never heard of her.
JEALOUSY IS A SIN. SOO VERY SAD. CONGRATULATIONS SIMONE. YOU GO GIRL.
I think everyone is being too harsh on Skinner. I don't know her history in regards to Gabby Douglas or other issues. She was obviously wrong in regards to the Team's potential. However, people have the right to be wrong without being viciously attacked. It's fair for her to tie her comments to her coaching past. The education recieved during early formative years matters tremendously to the human psyche. The Karolys have been exposed in recent years for abusive coaching. This after USA Gymnastics condoned it in exchange for winning. It's not Skinner's fault she was raised this way.
Elite athletics is always super competitve which means it brings out super competitive people. This often creates friction between teammates. She said what was on her mind as someone who grew up in that environment. It often takes being aggressive and harsh to succeed. Ok, she couldn't back up her words and attitude with being the very best of the best. However, she is still one of the very best gymnasts ever with a Silver Olympic medal. I'm not saying she was a great teammate or the most gracious competitor. I don' t know. I'm just saying maybe we should have as much patience and consideration as possible for people like Skinner who come up in harsh conditions and then reflect that in their behavior. After all, the tone of her words were fairly mild and thoughtful. She appears to have been wrong, that's Ok. After all, maybe she saw or heard some things that made her question their work ethic. Either way, the results speak for themselves. Let's remember she's still young herself and has a lot to learn.
White privilege Simone is the reason she has that gold medal
What did Skinner expect? Is she stupid? I have no sympathy for anyone who goes out of their way to post mean spirited comments online, but then complains when they are dragged around the block as a result.
Skinner should have known better to make those comments when each member of the 2024 Olympic female gymnastics team is a team Superstars earned because of their own individual talents.
What is what is Mikayla Skinner is jealous but she’s a one time Olympian and four of the girls on this. Paris team are multiple time Olympians. I don’t get why she made that comment I mean besides jealousy she was going through similar things or how the environment was and two of our girls on our team this year we’re doing collegiate gymnastics, and then finish that up to get back into elite training soI follow followed her on Instagram
This whole girl drama is so stupid and quite frankly blown out of proportion. I wish all sides would just choose to be the bigger person and be gracious and forgiving to one another. All the girls involved are acting like mean girls from high school. I love Simone but she should have just let their gold medal win speak for itself. You don’t need to clap back for the sake of clapping back - you can just do the work and prove them wrong by your win.
Mykayla's comments were about everyone BUT Simone. I think Simone feels the need to protect the other girls. She's the oldest. She's been to the Olympics for 3 quads. She suffered through the Karolyi era. I feel she's just being the "grandma" hen of the group. When you're the GOAT, you can say anything. I'm glad she stuck up for the girls, she has nothing to prove. 🥇🇺🇸
@@Kristina_617frfr
i dont think its “girl drama” bcs mckayla should know she hurt the girls on social media. for the public to know😂 simone did what needed to be done
jealousy at its best
Great Video. My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life as anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
I have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about two years ago, but I could not let her go, so I had to do all I could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back, now we are back together, and I must say I am enjoying every moment...
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do I reach one.?
Her name is Maurice Gleti, and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex...
Thank you for this valuable information, I just looked her up online. impressive.
Simone showing her what putting her foot in her mouth tastes like lol
The ladies are doing well
That is nothing but jealousy. Go Simone. Blind all the haters with more gold medals.
Childish on all fronts and all involved
She said “BESIDES SIMONE”. Listen to her! So why did Simone jump in and comment then wonder why she got blocked??
She did say "besides Simone" however she still talked about someone. ""“Obviously, a lot of girls don’t work as hard ... The girls just don’t have the work ethic.”""........ANY generalization is a bad one. Simone probably jumped in for the camaraderie.

What is wrong with Mykala Skinner?????? That's NOT MISUNDERSTOOD....
Skinner never won an Olympic gold
Pause at 0:22 a picture is worth a 1000 words. Then and now! Go Simone Biles!
Skinner should not have made negative comments ahead of the Olympics, not because she is not entitled to her opinions, but as a former olympic gymnast, she should have supported the US Team. However, as much as I respected Biles and Lee for their achievements, I cringe from their graceless comments and vindictive behaviour towards Skinner, who has apologized already. Why could not these two royalties of gymnastics take the high road and be able to move past the misguided comments? I don`t blame Skinner for blocking Biles, as she is now behaving like a complete bully, and I`m surprised that team leadership not telling Biles and Lee and others to stop. Biles and Lee`s behaviour look like two college students, who are on social media after a night of partying. Totally disgraceful, and not deserving any respects. I was cheering for Biles and Lee and likely they`ll do well in the all around. However in this debacle I feel they turned it around and Skinner has become the victim. I hope both retire and disappear from gymnastics as this kind of behaviour is a bad example for young girls. Biles just proved that she will never live up to the grace and legend of the Magnificient Seven. She appears like a total narcissist, being offended easily, and leading a group campaign to bully and cancel someone. Shocking that how many here are egging her on and feel it is justified to be a ruthless public shamer.
100% agree. Well put. Skinner was out of line, promptly apologised. She made a mistake. The girls went on to win gold, which is fantastic, but no need to bring up Skinner's prior comments and try to cancel the crap out of Skinner. How about humbly handle the glory. Skinner wouldve received a monstrous amount of hate already for what she said, so shes blocked them, Jordan then goes to post that snickery snap, classless and petty. They should've taken the higher road. Plays into society's nonsensical cancel culture. Destroys lives. Let it go girls.
I love that video! ❤❤❤❤❤
JEALOUSY IS SOMEBODY TO KNOW!
Best black job in the country! 😂
She gave her opinion and her opinion was over critical, the girls are making mistakes and it’s hard to accept that there’s been a change in the way the athletes are judged
HEY BILES!!! You Know The Golden Rule!!! Dont Worry About Her!!!
"SHE WHO OWNS THE GOLD? RULES" 🤣
SIMONE BILES RULES!
Jealousy
Why does she have to be so petty though. That is why Simone is hard to root for.
So why are people not allowed to have an opinion? Skinner is allowed to have an opinion and people can dislike her for her opinion. Don’t understand why so many snowflakes make this a big issue.
Lol. You said “people can dislike her for her opinion” which is what happened but then you went on with your next sentence which contradicts the previous sentence. Make up your mind. Either people can dislike her comment or they can’t. And yeah she is allowed to have her own opinion and so do others in response to that. Don’t understand how having a response is a snowflake thing since you yourself obviously have a response as well
@@Jackie.D329 yeah people can dislike what she says. I personally don’t think what Skinner said was that bad. She’s probably a bit self centered and unhappy about her current situation, but that’s what most human beings are like. The fact that she got so much backlash for what she said shows how oppressive and judgmental the gymnastics community is. I understand criticizing skinners statements when they first came out. But you still got people rehashing this petty issue. It honestly makes me think less of team USA and Simone biles. Instead of celebrating their amazing achievements at the Olympics and focusing on themselves, they are showing the petty drama queen side of themselves by throwing a past teammate under the bus after she was already humiliated for having an unpopular opinion. I respect Simone biles ability like everyone does, but her pro active comment and rehashing of this dumb drama makes me lose some respect for her as a person. She’s already on top of the world. Act like a model champion instead of taking time to kick someone else when they are down.
Just enjoy the damn Gold Medal and who care about someone who doesn't have anything to do with it. Really
MyKayla did you know "jealously" is a dangerous drug? Lol, now the TEAM USA fans and followers are ROASTING you.
