Simone Biles Fires Back At Online Troll Who Called Her A Bad Role Model On Instagram

Olympic medalist Simone Biles recently shut down an online troll for calling her a bad role model.

On Saturday, the “Dancing With the Stars” alum posted a selfie taken during her family vacation in Hawaii via Instagram. One Instagram user replied to Biles’ post with a mean comment saying that she is “trash” and should be unfollowed on social media.

Biles, who was far from pleased with the comment, responded to the Instagram user via her Twitter account by copying the hurtful message. Biles explained that she didn’t want to show the Instagram user’s name, but felt that they also deserved to be called out for their deed. Additionally, the professional athlete reminded the troll that she has trained for 14 years and has five Olympic medals so she definitely deserves a vacation.

According to Yahoo Sports, Biles has four Olympic gold medals including the individual all-around title and one Olympic bronze medal. She also has 14 World Championship medals that she earned before she turned 20 years old.

Meanwhile, Biles made headlines in May after she allegedly got into a misunderstanding with “Dancing With the Stars” judge Carrie Ann Inaba. The 20-year-old athlete received a comment from Inaba saying that she should learn how to show more emotions during her dance routines. Biles fired back at the judge and said, “Smiling doesn’t win you gold medals.” The seemingly sarcastic comment left Inaba looking shocked during the live episode of the hit ABC reality TV competition.

But a week later, Inaba teamed up with Biles for one installment of “Dancing With the Stars.” During their rehearsals, Inaba cleared the air and told Biles that she wasn’t offended by her response to her comment the previous week. “Let’s just clear the air, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. I loved your comment back to us. Just so you know, I want you to know that. That didn’t bother me at all. In fact, I loved it, because it was very honest of you,” she said.

Biles explained that there was a time when she showed emotions during an Olympic competition, and she brought home a bronze instead of a gold medal.
