Simone literally did her nothing. SIMONE NEVER MENTIONED HER NAME ONCE. Mykayla directly criticized the girls on the olympic team and now she is directly addressing simone....does she want people to attack simone....she is publicly accusing simone of cyber bullying her but her videos talking bad about the gymnastics team is the definition of cyber bullying which caused people to attack her and nor simone...this chick blocked simone so simone technically wouldn't be able to see t h e video if it didn't make the news...it seems like she wants the media to attack simone.....

[@Kelly-si1rz]

🚩It's very unjust to call on Simone Biles to "put an end to" anything considering Simone didn't create any hate or threats that Mykayla has received. Simone responding to an actual dig from Skinner (to the entire team), does not make her responsible for any online psycho behavior that Skinner triggered with her OWN words‼ Bringing up mental health, empowerment, and whatever Skinner's family, management, etc are supposedly going through is completely manipulative....It's literally like her saying " Yeah, I f'd up now fix it, Simone." Only she's not actually acknowledging that SHE was the one that f'd up. THEE AUDACITY❗ To block Simone on social media yet address her directly in this video by saying "2:20 Simone's latest post ...fueled hate...death threats. 2:55 Please tell YOUR followers to stop...3:10 A lot of ppl need YOUR help now....3:15 we've been attacked in ways I know YOU never intended." Mykayla's wording and actions are very deliberate and she's not to be trusted. This is nothing more than a lack of accountability and she's attempting to hold Simone's feet to a fire that Mykayla started herself. The way she speaks seems as if she believes Simone should be the one apologizing to her...tf!? This is one of the most blame-fueled, CALCULATED, pathetic woes I've ever seen or heard❗

For Maykaley to make the comment and then try to play the victim after the backlash, she is coming off like a gymnastic Karen! Makalay, has one silver medal (and the others, including Simone have more than her) in a past Olympic which is an accomplishment but one can say that she was projecting on to other gymnast what has been said about her.

[@oOoSoBreezy]

I cannot deal with these people talking a bunch of BS online and get upset when people call them out! Why doesn’t she try apologizing to all the gymnast she offended?!

[@gpbandchick2010]

why doesn't she reach out to simone privately instead? you had to know this would only fuel the drama

It sounds like she’s playing the victim and just making a bunch of excuses for her jealousy and hate. I mean she was an alternate in her last Olympics, so technically she was a bench warmer. How else is anyone supposed to take her comments. She can dish it, but she sure can’t take it.

Your comment was posted by many in the media, however no one should stope to the level threatening/bullying you. You were looking for attention.

Look, I get that hate she is geting intense. However, let's not act like she didn't put herself in this predicament by insulting a group of women who were once her peers and teammates. Some people get extreme on the internet, making threats and vile comments. However, this isn't something she didn't already know. Mckayla has a large internet platform. She was aware how deep this situation could go when she made her original video calling the girls," Lazy, unethical..etc". She caused this wild, and now she wants someone else to put it out? That's not how the internet works. You don't get to insult an entire group of hardworking athletes, then play the victim when the situation bites you on the butt.

I see her pain and empathize….nobody deserves to be cyberbullied; people take it too far in the internet. But likewise Mykayla really needs to stop naming people on her videos. She’s playing into the cyber bullying culture. She did it in her initial video, and then in her apology she blamed Marta Karolyi, and now she’s blaming Simone. Sometimes…less is more.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Simone agreed to ask people to refrain from bullying, but it isn’t her responsibility to do that. She didn’t start this so don’t hold her responsible for stopping it. Bullies: threats of violence are so unnecessary. People shouldn’t feel unsafe for expressing opinions, stupid or not. Hate seems to be the default to everything these days. I wish it wasn’t.😢

[@nicoletrudell2065]

This exactly. She was jealous of the spotlight on the current team, and tried to take some of it for herself by bashing them. This is probably standard operating procedure for her when she sees someone else getting attention, and it's probably worked out for her in the past. But she picked too big a target this time and somehow was caught off guard when it blew up in her face. Her reputation is destroyed and she did it to herself. She wanted attention - hope it was worth it!

[@creating1_c1999]

Simone's husband is still getting sliced over a clip that clearly shows that people didn't watch the entire video where he constantly praised Simone especially for helping him elevate his game, to which she asked fans to cease... I'm certain that if Simone would call a cease, it wouldn't matter. It might grate them even more because it harkens back to the many times Simone took the high road for the purpose of "sportsmanship". The amount of medals, especially team gold after "the work ethic just isn't there" comment by Skinner is one for the books. I'm sure if they even earned a silver she'd be doing twirls to celebrate that she was "right". Her crack head coven still think she's right in spite of all of those medals they earned, each of the four from Tokyo delegation returned home with at least one individual, that means team gold + one, securing their redemption agenda. I don't know how, but the noise will become less and less, eventually. I wish that people would let Mykalya's roasting be a lesson. But I'm certain the next hall of shame inductee is priming to take her spot.

It would be more effective to reach out to her personally and apologize and give her receipts on the hate you’re getting. This should be a lesson in why you shouldn’t publicly criticize people for being “lazy”. You shouldn’t do it anyway… but especially towards athletes. You literally don’t know people situations. It may look lazy to you, but it could be the person hanging on by a thread.
