Simone Biles seemingly had a laugh about MyKayla Skinner blocking her on social media

Note to self: Never get on Simone Biles’ bad side.

After Biles led Team USA to a gold medal in the women’s gymnastics all-around final at the Paris Olympics, making hilarious TikToks wasn’t the only way she gloated. A cryptic triumphant Instagram post from Biles appeared to call out former teammate McKayla Skinner for being critical of the American gymnasts’ work ethic in the past. Needless to say, partner-in-crime Suni Lee enjoyed Biles’ not-so-subtle call out.

Also, poor McKayla Maroney for being put in the crosshairs because of unfortunate spelling.

After the dust of all the online drama finally settled, Biles put the best possible bow on this situation: She seemingly laughed about Skinner finally blocking her on social media.

As the greatest American gymnast of all time, Biles has certainly earned the right to be this petty. Again, for the life of me, I could never understand even passively trying to alienate her.
