Skinner talked about the recent team of Olympic gymnasts and their lack of “work ethic.” “Besides Simone I feel like the talent and the depth isn’t what it used to be,” she said at the time. The girls don’t have the work ethic.” However, Skinner had already shown her support for the US gymnasts after their gold medal win, posting a photo of the winning US team from July 30 on her Instagram Story, along with three heart emojis. Biles then captioned the team’s gold medal picture, “lack of talent, lazy olympic champions.” In a recent interview with People, Biles mentioned why she’s been so vocal about her teammates. But not just heartbroken because it isn’t what I feel or even how I previously said, but because Simone’s latest post and others that followed it fueled another wave of hateful comments, DMs, articles and emails.” She concluded with a personal message to Biles herself: “To Simone, I am asking you directly and publicly to please put a stop to this.
