A feud between Simone Biles and MyKayla Skinner has escalated following comments made by Skinner about the work ethic of the U.S. women's gymnastics team. Biles responded to Skinner's criticism by posting a photo of the team with a caption perceived as a jab, which led to Skinner receiving cyberbullying and death threats. Skinner has publicly pleaded with Biles to ask her followers to stop the harassment. Biles defended her actions, stating it was important to stand up for her young teammates. Skinner, who has apologized for her comments, expressed heartbreak over the situation and emphasized the impact on her family. Biles has yet to respond to Skinner's plea.
