Olympic gymnast Simone Biles recently shared a troubling message she received from an unknown number. The message referenced her past and made a remark about her marriage to Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens.
“Hope y’all are having a better day than me,” Biles wrote on her Instagram Stories while posting a screenshot of the hurtful and insensitive message she received.
“Where you molested by that nasser coach?” the text message asked.
It also included a comment about her relationship, stating, “Also don’t go on the internet taking criticism from strangers about your husband or marriage. It shows how young and immature you really are damaged goods.”
Biles responded by calling out the sender.
“These are the texts I receive from random [expletive] numbers. Btw y’all are [expletive] weird for this,” Biles wrote.
Despite the message, Biles didn’t let it bother her and continued to her evening as planned, later sharing that she had dinner with friends at The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood.
Biles and Owens, who married in 2023, have previously addressed online criticism about their relationship. In her documentary “Simone Biles Rising,” the Olympic gold medalist spoke about her stance on public scrutiny.
“When you guys are going to talk about him or my family, yeah, I’m gonna come at you guys,” she said in the second part of the film, per Page Six.
“Equate our love to the amount of trophies and medals and accolades that I have. That’s not how you measure love,” Biles continued.

The couple enjoyed breathtaking safari experiences and spent time in scenic locations, capturing memorable moments together. Their vacation highlighted their strong bond and love for adventure, giving fans a glimpse into their life beyond their professional commitments.
