RILEY Gaines claims she almost feels bad for Simone Biles after their feud on social media.
The ex-college swimmer and Olympic gymnast had opposing views over trans women in sports.
Biles, 28, called Gaines “truly sick” and accused her of being a “bully.”
And Gaines, 25, hit back by claiming it was Biles who was “a truly sick bully by her own standard.”
Speaking on OutKick’s Clay and Buck, she claimed fans criticized Biles in her own comments section.
Gaines said, “I was prepared when I got that notification on my phone for that onslaught of hatred to come towards me.
“Look at Simone Biles’ comments section – she is getting absolutely demolished to the point where I almost feel bad for her, like I really do.
“I have read these comments, I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh!’
“It was the number one trending thing on Twitter for two days straight.
“Even on TikTok, every video that pops up on my page is someone coming for Simone Biles for coming for me and for my body.”
The swimmer has been an activist campaigning against trans women in female sports.
She posted a message on Friday night which annoyed Biles.
Gaines said that Chaplin Park girl’s team turned the comments off a post because the team featured a transgender player.
The team just won the Minnesota State High School Championship in softball.
“Comments off lol,” Gaines wrote on the post.
“To be expected when your star player is a boy.”
Biles hit back by claiming Gaines was a “sore loser” and that her campaigning was because of a race result in 2022.
Gaines finished tied fifth with transgender woman Lia Thomas in the 200m freestyle at the 2022 NCAA Championships.
The gymnast said, “You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up a sore loser.
“You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive or creating a new avenue where trans feel sage in sports.
“Maybe a transgender category in all sports.
“But instead you bully them.
“One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around.”
Biles later followed up, “Bully someone your own size, which ironically would be a male.”
