Look Simone, just shut up. Ok, you had a nervous breakdown and that sucks. You are still the GOAT. Nothing you say can look good and will only tarnish you in the future. Sh*t happens and nothing you say will make it any better. It will only be used to ridicule you. There’s no shame in admitting you are a human being, just like the rest of us. Rest assured, there are plenty of us who are there to pick you up and push you back out there so you can continue to show there’s no human being ever born who can do what you’ve done. Endure this, shut up, and come back bigger and better so you can make them eat their words. It will happen. You are the only thing that can impede that. “Wait till next time, I tell ya, just wait till next time.” You can make this your greatest moment. God is there.

Agree. She had a really tough childhood.

On January 18, 2018, Biles released a statement on Twitter confirming that former USA Gymnastics physician Larry Nassar had sexually assaulted her. She also named USA Gymnastics for having an alleged role in allowing the abuse to occur, and for subsequently covering it up.

In September 2016, Biles opened up about having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) after her medical records were leaked online, revealing that she had been taking Ritalin, used to treat the condition, during the Olympics. Having been diagnosed as a child, she had previously disclosed her condition to the World Anti-Doping Agency and obtained a medical exemption, allowing her to take her medication during competitions. In her statement, she said that ADHD is "nothing to be ashamed of and nothing that I'm afraid to let people know."

That’s all fine, except for the teammates who probably won’t be back for another Olympics, this was their shot at a gold because she quit they didn’t get it...

I can’t remember a time in the past when a real superstar in their sport just up and pulled out citing mental issues.

Recently we’ve had 2, Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles, it’s not all about her, it’s about the team and she screwed them out of a gold....
