After winning a gold medal, Jordan Chiles confirms that MyKayla Skinner “blocked” Simone Biles
When Jordan Chiles shared receipts on Instagram that revealed MyKayla had blocked Simone Biles, it was proven that the rivalry between the two ladies was still going strong.
On Wednesday, July 31, Jordan, 23, posted a picture of Simone’s phone on her Instagram Stories along with the caption, “When she blocks Simone.”
The image showed MyKayla’s Instagram account with the notice, “No posts yet,” which is how the social networking site informs users when they’ve been restricted.

Jordan uploaded the picture soon after 27-year-old Simone wrote, “Oop [sic] I’ve been blocked,” on X.
MyKayla, 27, and Simone’s ongoing beef began after the latter appeared to react to a taunt from her 2020 Olympic teammate by posting a picture of themselves toasting the gold medal victory of the American women’s gymnastics.
On Tuesday, July 30, Simone wrote, “Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions,” next to a picture of herself, Jordan, Suni Lee, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera.
Immediately upon seeing Simone’s caption, fans connected it to MyKayla’s June remarks regarding this year’s Olympic gymnasts. Simone’s husband Jonathan Owens, gold medallist Nastia Liukin, Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney, and others hurried to the comments section to share their thoughts on the tension between the women.

The 29-year-old Jonathan wrote, “F AROUND AND FIND OUT.”
“It doesn’t get more iconic than this,” McKayla, 28, continued. She explored and learned about fr. It seems like I must make amends in order to have my first name restored.
The 34-year-old Nastia added, “Mic drop.”
MyKayla talked about her choice to not test out for the squad this year during the Olympic trials in June. She did, however, also include some unflattering remarks about the ladies who were selected for the team.

“Aside from Simone, I think there’s a lack of the previous depth and talent. Of course, a lot of girls don’t put in as much work. “The girls simply don’t have the work ethic,” MyKayla stated on a video posted on YouTube. Many girls put in less effort at work. It’s challenging due to SafeSport as well. In some respects, it’s great that coaches are unable to criticize athletes, but in order to advance in gymnastics, one must be a little fiery and forceful.
Simone and Jordan’s mother Gina Chiles appeared to react to Mykayla’s comments at the moment.
“Whoa. She posted that after really saying it out. That’s noteworthy,” Gina wrote on July 3 via X.
On the same day, Simone stated on Threads that “not everyone needs a mic and a platform.”
Since then, MyKayla has expressed regret for her remarks and said they were “misunderstood.”
During the week of July 5, MyKayla posted on her Instagram Stories, saying, “A lot of the stuff I was talking about wasn’t always about the current team because I love and support all the girls that made it and I’m so proud of them.” “It was more about returning to my own gym, and the work ethic is different from what it was during the Marta [Karolyi] era when we were doing gymnastics.”
