She once revealed via an Instagram post that negative comments about her figure weighed her down. However, she said she had learned to put on a solid front and let everything slide.
In an interview with Today, Biles opened up about her challenges growing up as she dealt with bullying because of her athletic figure. Biles often wore sweaters to cover her arms, but being around fellow gymnasts helped her become confident and comfortable.

Despite the body-shaming comments, Biles remains one of the celebrated gymnasts in history. She was adopted at six years old with her sister, Adria, by their maternal grandparents, Ronald and Nellie.
Despite her difficult background, she fought hard to achieve great fame and fortune in the world of athletics. Simone is the most decorated gymnast of all time and a seven Olympic medals holder.
She claimed her seventh U.S title at the just concluded 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Biles needs three medals to pass Vitaly Scherbo to become the most decorated gymnast in the Olympics and the world.
