Simone Biles has continued supporting Team USA teammate Jordan Chiles amid the ongoing controversy over the bronze medal in the floor exercise at the Paris Olympics.

‘We’ve been FaceTiming, texting, just being girls,’ Biles told People while promoting her partnership with a haircare brand. ‘I did talk to her on one of the days, and I was like, ‘You know what, Jordan, you have to feel all these feels. Don’t let these emotions stop you. This will be the healthiest way to get all of this out.’

It’s been a difficult August for Chiles, who was awarded the bronze in the floor exercise in Paris on August 5 on the back of an appeal by Team USA coach Cecile Landi, who challenged her athlete’s degree-of-difficulty score. That challenge led to a .1 boost, bumping Chiles to 13.766 – just ahead of Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu’s 13.700.

Chiles celebrated on the podium that night, but the medal has since been reallocated to Barbosu after a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport voided Landi’s appeal.

Biles, who won the silver in the floor on August 5, insists that Chiles isn’t too down. She’s ‘still that girl,’ Biles told People, adding that her performance speaks for itself.

‘We saw what you did,’ Biles says of Chiles. ‘And it’s an unfortunate circumstance because something like this has never happened before and it’s truly a shame, but we wish all three girls could get the medal and unfortunately in gymnastics that’s not the case.

‘Do we think they did the correct procedures to come to this ruling?’ Biles continued. ‘No. That’s really why we want that justice for Jordan and why we’re going to keep supporting her and uplifting her.’

There are ‘no plans’ currently for Chiles to return her medal, USA officials told USA Today, though the 23-year-old is evidently still reeling from the ordeal.

Chiles briefly swore off social media, although Biles admits to sharing a few funny posts with her.

‘I know she’s not on social media, but some of the funny things I’ve seen, I said, ‘Okay, Jordan, can I send you something that I think you would really like right now?’ Biles told People.

‘And so I’ve sent her little things, and it was like one of them was these four or five girls guarding a medal, and I thought that was the cutest. And then I sent her Flavor Flav’s bronze [medal he made for her] and then I sent her LeBron [James]’s tweet.

‘So just things to uplift her and know that she still has that support all-around.’

Chiles returned to social media on Friday and posted an Instagram story with a screenshot of an X post that read: ‘she’s a 10 but she’s still healing from things she didn’t deserve.’

She has previously called the decision to strip her medal ‘unjust,’ while the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee also told USA Today that there were ‘significant procedural errors’ made by CAS.

According to the CAS, the Americans’ appeal was clocked at one minute and four seconds – greater than the specified window of one minute.

However, USA Gymnastics said they have evidence to back up their claim that the appeal was lodged within the time limit at 47 seconds.

Former Olympian Aly Raisman also called the CAS’ verdict ‘confusing’ and said that an appeal wouldn’t even have been accepted if it was late.

‘There’s a designated trained official. It’s their job to keep the time,’ she told Us Weekly. ‘They are not allowed to accept the inquiry if it’s not under that minute window. They accepted the inquiry, which means that the person who’s trained to do that, they saw it was under a minute.’

Biles and Chiles are now prepared to join the Gold Across America Tour, which kicks off next month.

Olympics legend Simone Biles has shared the staggeringly high bill a nightclub tried to charge her for a bottle of champagne.

The USA gymnast put on a sensational performance in Paris, as she became the oldest Olympic all-around champion at age 27 as well as securing a total of four medals (three gold, one silver).

Biles’ performances in Paris means she is now the most decorated US gymnast of all time after claiming a whopping 11 Olympic medals over the course of her career.

Considering her magnificent performances in Paris, it is no surprise that the gymnast took to the clubs of the French capital to celebrate her success.

However, Biles shared in a TikTok, video the astonishing price she was quoted for a bottle of Champagne following the closing ceremony.

Simone Biles

“After [closing ceremonies] we went out,” the American recalled. “You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne. Like are you insane?”

“But why would you even try to play me like that? That’s wild,” she said in the TikTok video.

Elsewhere in the TikTok video, Simone spoke about what life is like for her being in the public eye following her massive Olympic success.

“I don’t know sometimes, the attention, I’d rather not have it,” Simone said.

“I rather just be as normal as possible, I don’t know.”

With Biles in the spotlight for her recent performances, her biological mother, Shannon, has attempted to make contact with her daughter after being absent since the gymnast was six when she was adopted by her grandfather Ronald Biles.

“I want her to reach out to me,” she told the Daily Mail.

“She’s 27 now. She’s married. I would have liked to have been a part of that, but I just have to wait for her. You can’t push anybody.

“It hasn’t happened yet, but I have patience. I’m waiting on her,” she continued.

Part two of “Simone Biles Rising” premieres on Oct. 25

Move over, Emily! Simone Biles is in Paris!

Netflix announced the official premiere dates for episodes three and four of the docuseries Simone Biles Rising with help from the Olympic gold medalist herself!

In a fun video shared on Netflix’s social media accounts, Biles, 27, recreated lines from the streaming giant’s popular series, Emily in Paris, which just released the first part of its highly-anticipated fourth season starring starring Lily Collins on Aug. 15.

“And ever since I moved to Paris, my life has been chaotic and dramatic and complicated,” Biles said in the first clip as she sips her drink with a view of the Eiffel Tower in the distance. In a sassy second clip, the gymnast tries on sunglasses and says, “Without basic b—-es like me, you wouldn’t be fashionable.”

In her final recreation from the Netflix original series, Biles shows off a plate full of crepes and says, “I’m not somebody who can share a crepe. I need the whole crepe.”

“Watch your beret, emily 🤭 SIMONE BILES RISING: PART TWO is coming october 25 on netflix,” the company wrote in the caption of the Instagram post.

The second part of Biles’ popular documentary begins streaming on Oct. 25. According to Netflix, the new episodes will follow the Olympic gold medalist as she competes in the 2024 U.S. Gymnastics Trials and officially qualifies for the Team USA before making her historic comeback in Paris.

Directed by Katie Walsh, the episodes will also offer viewers an inside look that Biles’ “personal thoughts and moments of her incredible journey,” Netflix said in a release.

The fun teaser video promoting her docuseries comes just after Biles poked fun at herself in another social media video with Netflix.

A short clip of Biles quickly turning her head during warmups at the 2024 Paris Olympics became a popular meme during the Games, so Biles put her own spin on the joke.

In her recreation, Biles reacted to several situations that would have her quickly turning her head to pay attention. “Hearing someone on their couch has comments on the routine,” was the first example, and, “When the drink he ordered starts looking like the drink you should’ve ordered,” followed.

“When someone mentions women’s sports,” earned a sharp head turn from Biles as well. The fun video ended with Biles smiling and laughing as she turns her head in the perspective of “the vault when it sees her coming.”

The first two episodes of Simone Biles Rising are currently streaming on Netflix.

Simone Biles had plenty to celebrate in this summer, but she claims a Paris club attempted to scam her in process.

The greatest gymnast of all time revealed in a TikTok video that she went out in the French capital after participating in the Closing Ceremony for the Paris Olympics on Sunday, Aug. 11.

When it came to bubbly, Biles said a nightclub tried to charge her an eye-popping amount.

“You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne,” Biles told her viewers. “Like, are you insane?”

Biles said she was amazed by the audacity of the club to try and pull a fast one on her.

“Obviously, I didn’t buy it, but why would you even try to play me like that?” she said. “Like, that’s wild.”

The 11-time Olympic medalist can now celebrate across the U.S. as she embarks on the Gold Over America Tour with Jade Carey, Stephen Nedoroscik and more Team USA gymnasts starting in September.

After the 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony in Paris, Simone Biles went to a nightclub that tried to sell her $26,000 champagne: “Are you insane?”

Simone Biles might take home gold but she’s not celebrating like it.

The Olympian detailed her final night at the Paris 2024 Games—where she took home three gold medals and a silver—revealing that a club in the French capital tried to charge her an eye-popping five-figure sum for her celebrations.

“We had closing ceremonies at the Olympics and I went,” Simone explained in an Aug. 20 TikTok video. “And after that we went out. You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne. Are you insane?”

And while Simone was ready to celebrate, she wasn’t about to throw away her cash.

“Obviously, I didn’t buy it,” she clarified. “But why would you even try to play me like that? Like, that’s wild.”

The 27-year-old—who fronted team USA women’s gymnastics team along with Suni LeeJade CareyJordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera—acknowledged that her status as one of the greatest Olympians of all time can cause more than champagne problems.

“I’d rather not have it,” she said of the attention. “I’d rather be as normal as possible. I don’t know.”

Of course, Simone has always been open about the stress of making it to the top of her field’s mountain. In fact, she recently clapped back at reporters for a question she’s been asked one too many times during her third Olympic Games.

“You guys really gotta stop asking athletes what’s next after they win a medal at the Olympics,” she said on X, formerly Twitter, Aug. 4. “Let us soak up the moment we’ve worked our whole lives for.”

And while Simone soaking in her moment was briefly disrupted at the end of her Parisian stay, she has already made a comeback of her time off by rooting for her husband Jonathan Owens as he embarks on his first season with the Chicago Bears.

But as for whether Simone will go for the gold again in Los Angeles in 2028?

“Never say never,” she said at a press conference following the 2024 games. “The next Olympics is at home, so you just never know.”

Just don’t count on Simone pulling another Yurchenko double pike on the vault. As she said of her pulling gold for the move in Paris, “I mean, I kind of nailed that one.”

There’s humor, and then there’s Simone Biles‘ humor. Frankly, it’s unmatched, and the other girls don’t stand a chance.

Simone has been living her best life since her fantastic run during the 2024 Paris Olympics. She finally got to see other Olympic athletes compete, hung out with Elmo and even unexpectedly started a funny meme just for being herself.

The meme took over social media, with people finding all kinds of ways to use a moment where Simone turned her head and appeared startled by something to their advantage. Simone seemingly knows about her head-turning meme being a thing with the internet because she recreated it for a TikTok with Netflix, and it’s glorious.

Simone Biles provided the social media world with one of the most iconic memes from the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

A video of Biles darting her attention toward the camera while stretching before an event went viral on social media. And now, the all-time great Olympian is poking fun at herself for that popular clip.

Biles recently shared a TikTok video recreating the viral moment with several hilarious captions:

“Hearing someone on their couch has comments on the routine.” “When the drink he ordered starts looking like the drink I should’ve ordered.” “Can I just say something.” “When someone mentions women’s sports.” “The vault when it sees her coming.”

Biles added to her all-time great trophy case with yet another stunning Olympic performance in Paris. The American gymnast took home four new Olympic medals, including gold in the team finals, All-Around and Vault.

The gymnast received the special greeting as she dined out with her husband on Aug. 17

Simone Biles is being celebrated everywhere she goes!

The 11-time Olympic medalist, 27, received a very warm welcome while dining at Maple & Ash restaurant in Chicago with her husband Jonathan Owens after watching his team, the Chicago Bears, beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the city on Saturday, Aug. 17.

In a boomerang clip reposted on her Instagram Stories, Biles posed with Owens, 29, as she held up a special custom menu for her with the words “Olympic F—— Champion!” printed across it (with some letters in the curse word replaced with symbols), referring to her multiple medal-winning turn at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Biles also shared a close-up photo of the menu, zooming in on the words, and a boomerang clip of the group she was with toasting during the meal.

The warm welcome from the restaurant comes after Biles returned home from Paris on Aug. 12 following her record-breaking performance at the Olympics, after winning three gold medals and one silver in gymnastics.

Earlier on Aug. 17, Biles attended Owens’ Chicago Bears game in support during the team’s preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The team won 27-3 against the Bengals in the match.

The gymnast posted a photo of her outfit for the game on her Instagram Stories, which showed her wearing a black Prada bucket hat with a black and white oversized jacket printed with an image appearing to depict her husband in a No. 34 jersey — which was his number playing with the Green Bay Packers.

“Bear Down,” Biles captioned the photo.

The champion gymnast also modeled another accessory — a black ankle brace on her left foot — in a boomerang video, which she has been rocking these past few days and during the Olympics, after sustaining an injury to her calf in warmups for the games.

On Thursday, Aug. 15, Biles posted a photo of her reunited with Owens for the first time since returning home from the 2024 Olympics. The gymnast shared a snap of husband styling his hair while standing in a bathroom mirror alongside one of their bulldogs.

“🥰🥵🤍,” Biles captioned the shot of the NFL player.

Simone Biles broke her silence with a short and sweet message on social media Sunday – one day after incurring the wrath of NFL fans.

Still basking in the glory of her three Olympic gold medals from Paris, the gymnast sparked backlash with a controversial gameday fit at Soldier Field Saturday.

The 27-year-old showed out in support of her husband, Jonathan Owens, at the Chicago Bears‘ preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals, wearing a custom jacket with black-and-white printed images of Owens on it.

However, the Olympic legend made an NFL rookie error as the various snaps featured Owens in action for the Green Bay Packers – the Bears’ longstanding fierce rivals and his former team.

Despite flirting with football controversy, Biles, the Olympic all-around champion from the Paris Games, brushed off the backlash by making it known where her loyalties lie.

With just over two weeks until the 2024 NFL season kicks off, Biles pledged her support to Owens and Chicago by posting, ‘bear down,’ to X, formerly known as Twitter.

The gymnastic icon shared two photos of herself at the iconic stadium but ensured to keep any Packers logos on her jacket out of sight.

On Saturday, in addition to the photos of Owens suited up in Packers uniform, a large Green Bay logo on the shoulder pad had stood out in certain snaps and videos.

As she strolled the sidelines, Biles was also sporting a protective boot on her left foot from a calf injury she endured at the Olympics. She topped off the look with a pair of reflective silver shades, a black Prada bucket hat and a Balenciaga purse.

Her attempts to make a touching and supportive gesture towards Owens, landed Biles in the middle of one of the league’s fiercest rivalries and fans were far from impressed with one even claiming she should be ‘stripped of all her medals’ for her fashion fumble.

And some eagle-eyed social media users still managed to catch a glimpse of a Packers presence in her outfit, despite her best attempts to cover it up.

Simone Biles

‘Saying that while wearing the Packers Jacket,’ one wrote in the replies, adding to side-eye emojis.

‘We know what you really mean. #GoPackGo,’ another posted, while one added, ‘Is that a Packers jacket?’

Owens played one season in Green Bay last year before making the move down Lake Michigan to Chicago earlier this year.

As his other half geared up for her quest for gold in Paris, the safety agreed a two-year deal with the Bears believed to be worth $4.5million in March.

The gymnast appeared elated with her partner’s move , celebrating the deal in a series of tweets.

‘CHICAGO HERE HE COMES’, she posted before appearing to reveal that she does not plan to make the permanent move with her man.

‘I’m so excited about not having a connecting flight to go and see my husband hahahaha’, she wrote in a follow-up message.
