Another fan added:

"You shouldn't have to explain yourself to anyone as you didn't have anything to do with the unfortunate events."

Biles came into limelight in 2016 when she became the vault and floor gold medalist, and balance beam bronze medalist. And according to NBC News, she is the most decorated American gymnast of all time.

It is quite heartbreaking that she is in the news for her brother's woes.
