Olympic Legend Vanishes From Social Media Platform After Feud With Female Athlete ...Saudi Arabia

Olympic medalist Simone Bileshas quietly deactivated her X account following a heated public confrontation with former swimmer and conservative activist Riley Gaines.

The feud began in early June after Gaines criticized a Minnesota high school softball team for including a transgender pitcher, posting on X: “To be expected when your star player is a boy,” alongside a photo of the team celebrating a championship win.

Biles fired back on June 7, referencing Gaines’s tie for fifth place with trans swimmer Lia Thomas in the 2022 NCAA championships.

“You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race,” Biles wrote at the time. “Straight up 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 safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL SPORTS!! But instead … You bully them … One thing’s for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!”

She added in a follow-up post: “Bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.”

Biles later walked back her comments and issued an apology alongside a more measured statement about the complexities of sports inclusion.

“I’ve always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport,” she wrote. “The current system doesn’t adequately balance these important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn’t help for me to get personal with Riley, which I apologize for.”

Despite the apology, Gaines continued the criticism. On June 22, she posted a screenshot of Biles’s now-deactivated X profile and wrote:

- has an incredibly unpopular and morally indefensible take- gets rightfully ridiculed for it- issues a groveling public apology after unrelenting backlash- deletes account to pretend it never happened Sad to see such a phenom go down like this t.co/AiYir3kRG5

“Has an incredibly unpopular and morally indefensible take, gets rightfully ridiculed for it, issues a groveling public apology after unrelenting backlash, deletes account to pretend it never happened. Sad to see such a phenom go down like this.”

While Biles has not publicly commented since, her Instagram and Threads accounts remain active, suggesting her departure from X may be temporary.
