Simone Biles Faces Fresh Allegations as MyKayla Skinner Speaks Out on “The Will Cain Show”
So, here we go again—another chapter in the growing tension within U.S. gymnastics, and this time it’s really stirred things up. Former Olympian MyKayla Skinner is speaking out in a major way, and the platform she chose couldn’t be more telling: The Will Cain Show . On it, she publicly accused Simone Biles of bullying her throughout their time as teammates—accusations that add serious weight given Simone’s already controversial few weeks online.
Now, rewind just a little. This all reignited when Simone got into that fiery back-and-forth on social media with Riley Gaines, the swimmer who’s become one of the most outspoken critics of transgender participation in women’s sports. Simone called Gaines "sick" and accused her of bullying trans athletes, which led to a major backlash. And in the middle of that chaos, MyKayla Skinner re-entered the chat with allegations that she’d been belittled, dismissed, and ostracized by Biles during their time competing together.

On Will Cain’s show, Skinner didn’t mince words. She shared how, during Olympic camps and training, Biles had allegedly made her and other teammates feel small. According to Skinner, the power dynamics within the team kept her silent all these years. And she claims she only decided to speak up now because of how Simone treated Gaines, calling it the last straw.
Skinner even doubled down in a statement to One America News, saying, “The pressure to stay silent was immense... I kept quiet out of respect—for the sport, for my teammates, and for the ideal of unity among athletes.” That’s a powerful statement from someone who shared the Olympic stage with Simone not long ago.
What’s striking here is the timing. This isn’t the first dust-up between Biles and Skinner. They clashed last year just before the Paris Games when Skinner criticized the 2024 team’s “work ethic.” Biles responded on Instagram with a cryptic but pointed caption: “Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions”—a not-so-subtle jab.
So now, with all this drama coming back into the spotlight, it’s clear this feud runs deeper than just a few public comments. It touches on real issues in sports culture—fairness, inclusion, team dynamics, and the immense pressure athletes face on and off the mat.
Skinner says it’s time we lift each other up instead of tearing one another down. And whether you side with her, Simone, or feel caught somewhere in the middle, it’s impossible to deny this: the world of elite athletics has never just been about the medals—it’s also about the message. And right now, that message is being debated loud and clear across America.
