[@camillek7216]

she lives in my town and I used to go to the same gym when I was younger she's like freaking queen

[@DaveCordova]

Can everyone please stop talking about how Nellie "isn't her mom"?! She is her mom, an amazing one too!

[@rebekahlynne0227]

Thank you!

[@asadadavis1376]

Well it her grandmother but who cares they love her and that's all that matters

[@madisonmdd]

+asada davis actually she adopted Simone and therefore is her mother. If your talking biologically, I don't think that her mom is biologically related to her, just her dad.

[@leaderoftaehyungnation9766]

Yes, being biologically related isn't the only way to be a mum. To be a mum, you must give motherly love which is unconditional.

Wasn't she adopted by her grandparents cause her mother was addicted to drugs and alcohol?

[@isobelbroomfield3779]

who knows? that's tumblr my friend

[@daranhphan]

yep

[@potocatepetl]

I might be wrong , but I think this is her biological grandmother. She calls her mother because she adopted her and raised her since she was 2 or 3.

[@MelanieMayeranderson]

yes, that is technicly her grandmother, but simone calls her, her mom because she has been simones mom since she was like 3.

[@kk-pl4vp]

her mother was a drug addict and her father left when she was little so her grandfather adopted Simone.

[@nyk3334]

This girl is not normal. She's a once in a lifetime athlete. What a story!

[@Dee52790]

Congrats to Simone & everything she's accomplished btw!! She's fantastic!

[@mugdays]

If anyone is wondering why they look nothing alike, it's because that's not Simone's birth mother.

[@MissSupernatural101]

Well it's not like it's a random person it's her grandma and the only "mom" she's known

[@sushisoon1420]

Well it's her grandmother so

[@Megan_1818]

They are actually not "blood" relatives. She is Simone's step grandma. Her grandfather remarried and the two of them adopted Simone.

[@tammynguyen7651]

um sorry to ask but, where's her mother?

[@miapatricia5996]

+Tammy Nguyen she was a drug addict

[@AirForce1Collector]

it hurts my heart to hear her biological mother dismiss what her adopted mother and father did for her.....they sacrificed for her....the best thing her biological mother did was give her up.

[@thangvuong9196]

Couldn't agree with you more!

[@sams517]

What did her biological mom say??

[@thangvuong9196]

Sakina Sehgal Both biological mom and dad had addiction issues and relinquished their parental rights. Simone and her siblings were sent into foster homes, then Simone's grandparents decided to adopt Simone and her sister, the other siblings were sent to other family members.

[@AirForce1Collector]

She did an interview and just her dismissal of her father just got under my skin ....I'm sure she's proud of her daughter but she just not giving her father the credit he deserves.....

[@mynameisKiki95]

I agree w/ you. Simone & her siblings were raised in a good home.

[@IMB0308]

The last video about this was "banned from your country"

[@FauveIsNotFunnyM]

same. All the Olympics related videos with Olympic athletes had this message when I would wanna watch them. All but this one; Weird.

Weird. Which country are you from?

[@deviousdayz]

This girl is my hero in a leo

[@Dee52790]

Does it really matter if Nellie is her birth mother or not? She raised her, encouraged her, provided for her, LOVED her. She is Simone's mother, period. No other opinion matters.

[@Miiaddress]

She looks like stick from lilo and stitch. She cute tho

[@dessolo6949]

I'm still waiting for Kylie Jenner and her mom tell her how proud she is that she can make RAMEN NOODLES 😂😂😂😂

Love this interview BIG UP TO MOM AND DAUGHTER. Mr & Mrs Biles have done an excellent job raising this young lady and affording her future that might have eluded her. Congratulations Simone!!!!!!!!!!

[@heheyup3615]

This is so sweet... I wish I had that relationship with my mom

Can we all agree that Simone Biles is secretly Wonder Woman?

[@CalvinKrause]

She better win floor finals today! She deserves to take home another gold medal!

[@freya1712]

Happy I can actually watch this because on some of the other American Olympians videos it's been banned in the uk? Or at least that's what it's saying on my phone.

[@Englotgg]

I think it's banned in all countries that aren't the US cause it's banned in Canada as well

[@carinaisabelle8990]

+Georgia Englot and in Germany.

[@-.-5899]

Yeah I can't watch it from Australia😄

[@freya1712]

+Georgia Englot well that's annoying, I'm still very interested by these Olympians so it's a shame I can't watch a two minute joke around buzz feed video about them

[@ess8765]

Can't watch it from Australia either..

This is honestly so cute and it amazes me how nice and down to earth Simone is. And her mom's awesome.

[@lovegals1]

Buzzfeed, can you please start removing the racist, sexist and homophobic comments? That would be great.

[@uniboio2437]

Although in an ideal world that would be great and I would support it, it's also called censorship of someone's opinion and as much as you, me or anyone else dislikes their opinion ... It's still their opinion.

Simone is a small package, but a large quality one! Rock on Simone!!! 👍

[@tiffanynguyen9908]

I saw a post about how her mom was a drug addict and left her. That she lives with her grandparents?

[@thedowneys8229]

That is technically her grandma but she calls her mom

[@faithstrachan9214]

Yes she lives with her grandparents. She calls them mom and dad because they raised her since she was 3 I believe it was

[@kk-pl4vp]

her mom was a drug addict and her father left her when she was very young so her grandfather adopted her as his daughter. so basically her "mom" (grandmother) is her biological mother bc they adopted her when she was 2-3 yrs old

[@tiffanynguyen9908]

+Kaylee Wilson damn! Her grandma looks amazing

[@joshkapps3902]

+Topaz Brown they probably don't even know

[@leyla8815]

for everyone asking this is her grandmother, her mom is not in her life because of drugs and other things I just watched a video about it

[@lianashaw1752]

They legally adopted her. They are not her grandparents, although they used to be. They are, by law, her parents.

[@leyla8815]

+Liana Shaw not my point lol... people were asking if this was her real mom so I said that

[@lianashaw1752]

+Leyla Keita It's just that some people don't seem to understand how being told someone isn't your "real" mom can really hurt someone. She is absolutely her "real" mom because she adopted her; however, she is not her biological/birth mother. That makes her no less real.

[@perfectly_cromulent]

She was her step-grandmother. She is now her mother (her *real* mother). She adopted, raised, and cared for Simone.

[@grayghosts6103]

WHOO simone!!! ❤️❤️❤️ i'm canadian and cheering for my team but i'm so proud of her

[@emmaboo107]

This inst really her mom, its her grandmother. Shes adopted, isnt she? (if im wrong please tell me hhaha)

[@Jessicathi]

Look at all the other comments about it it says everything

[@partygetstaywetter]

her mom did drugs and couldn't care for her so her grandmother did is what I was told not to be rude

[@rebekahlynne0227]

It's her mom because she raised her, but not her biological mother. Her biological mother was a drug addict and an alcoholic.

[@partygetstaywetter]
