Three weeks after sparking a war of words with anti-trans activist Riley Gaines, apologizing for her targeted remarks, and being inundated with comments about the incident since, seven-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles has deleted her account on X, formerly Twitter.
Biles de-activated her account, which had nearly two million followers, after she came to the defense of a transgender high school athlete that Gaines had been attacking.
But after Biles personally insulted Gaines (for which she later apologized), it opened up a flood gate of attacks which appears to have led the 28-year-old gymnast - considered the greatest of all time - to remove her account on the platform.
Biles still has her accounts on Threads (with 2.1m followers) and Instagram (12.4m followers) active.
Gaines decided to deliver a parting shot to the gymnast, despite saying just yesterday that she'd be interested in forming an alliance with her.
Gaines claimed that Biles '-has an incredibly unpopular and morally indefensible take - gets rightfully ridiculed for it - issues a groveling public apology after unrelenting backlash - deletes account to pretend it never happened'. Gaines, who made a career out of politically advocating against trans people in sports after finishing tied for fifth with a trans woman at a swim meet, concluded, 'Sad to see such a phenom go down like this'.
Earlier this month, Gaines attacked a Minnesota high school on social media for fielding a softball team with a trans player.

She has sponsors and companies she does ads for. Plus I think she coaches at her own school now. I told another freeper if I were a parent I’d pull my kid from that school. The USA team went through Dr. Larry Nasser now they have a former gymnaast who wants men in the women’s locker room? Yea I don’t think so. Not around my daughter you freak.
Simone you are full of BILE. Time to learn from your mistakes, so ride out into the sunset never to be seen again. Bwahahahahahaha
But she IS a leftist and said what she said. Can’t believe people are tripping over open feet making excuses for Obama daughter
If Michael had a daughter it would be just like Simon
Much like Jazzy Crockett, Biles played the black mean girl card on white Gaines. Accusing her of advocating for boys out of girls sports because she lost to a male is pretty low. She thought the black woman shield made her invulnerable and didn’t see a backlash coming. One of Biles former team mates even came out and stabbed her in the back. Also Biles was very late in coming out as a Larry Nassar victim.
Greatest Moron of all time
That’s to bad. 😄
Right? I’m crying over here...
Not
Live by the sword, die by the sword
“ I’d say it’s the ONLY thing Simone is good at.”
Well if the top of her head was flat one cold rest a cold beverage on top of it.
Simone Biles is mentally unstable, and is the last person who should participate in social media. If she is going to compete, she needs someone to effectively manage her and focus her.
For all we know Biles is a midget tranny
Such a loser... a complete light weight.
Karma’s a …
Well, you know.😄
This article still tries to make Riley Gaines the bad one in all this.
And easy for her to say since she never had to compete against men either, unlike Gaines...
I tried to get 'Z', but some guy with a black mask and cape took issue with it.
Biles just got ridiculed for her stupidity and leftism - I’m glad to see this.
