Simone Biles recently defended her marriage to NFL player Jonathan Owens after online trolls criticized

Beef between Simone Biles and her former Olympic teammate McKayla Skinner intensified this week when the latter appeared to have blocked the GOAT on Instagram.

These days, the easiest way out of a conversation or escape being held accountable for your words seems to be the little ‘Block’ button on social media. That is precisely what former American Olympic gymnast MyKayla Skinner did when the sport’s GOAT Simone Biles’ barbed response to her previous unwarranted critical remarks presumably stung her as one would’ve imagined.

After leading the women’s gymnastic squad to their gold medal victory in the team final, Biles proudly shared a collage of photos of the glorious win on Instagram. Clapping back at Skinner’s incongruous remarks – that came before the team even landed in Paris – Biles didn’t mince her words while captioning her post fuelled by sarcasm, “Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions.”

Eventually, Chiles indirectly answered the question with a phone snap, notifying that Skinner had indeed blocked Biles on Instagram. Simone’s former teammate has yet to directly address the issue since the Instagram clash, but she reacted to the team winning gold on Tuesday, July 30. She posted a picture of the winning team on her Instagram Stories with three heart emojis, ostensibly displaying her support, after which she ended up blocking Biles on social media.
