Biles Issues Public Apology

Olympian Simone Biles apologized to Riley Gaines. 

I’m Tomi Lahren, more next.

Well this feud could possibly end on a high note, after all.

Olympic gymnast Simone Biles did the right thing and publicly apologized to Riley Gaines for body shaming her AND even somewhat acknowledged that the current system of biological men competing in women’s sports doesn’t adequately balance competitive equity. 

Biles did stop short of defending the integrity of women’s sports and spaces, which is regrettable. 

However, the public apology and accountability was a refreshing change of pace.

For her part, Gaines accepted the apology and warmly invited Biles to join the fight to protect women’s sports. 

Look, it would’ve been great to see Biles commit to the fight for fairness and use her incredible platform to advance it, but I am happy to see this feud end. 

Biles is no doubt a role model for girls and young women, I was taken aback at her initial behavior and especially her body shaming digs. 

It takes a lot of courage to publicly own that and say sorry.

For that, I’ll give her credit. It took grace.
