Simone Biles may have celebrated the end of her Gold Over America Tour a little too hard during a boozy brunch, where she admittedly couldn’t stop crying.
The decorated gymnast shared four photos of herself from the apparently private daytime meal on Instagram.
The first showed Biles grinning, while a second showed her holding up what looked like a mimosa — a combination of orange juice and champagne.
But things get bleaker in the next two photos, which show the Olympian getting misty-eyed before a final shot shows tears running down both sides of her face.
Biles captioned the post: “A series… [heart emoji].’
Simone Biles may have celebrated the end of her Gold Over America Tour a little too hard during a boozy brunch, where she admittedly couldn’t stop crying.
Later, on Threads, Biles admitted that she “couldn’t stop crying.”
The exact problem and her location were never revealed, but fans nonetheless offered their support to the 27-year-old Texan.
“I’m glad you have moments on tour where you see how much everyone loves and supports you,” one fan wrote on Threads. “No matter what happens, you will always be incredibly loved by us.”
The Gold Over America Tour gave American gymnasts the opportunity to capitalize on their recent success at the Paris Olympics, where the women took home team gold and the American men won bronze.
The final show took place in Detroit on Sunday evening, leaving Biles time for a long brunch on Monday.
As for her mental health, Biles hasn’t revealed any specific issues on Instagram, but has previously discussed her ongoing therapy.

‘I feel a lot freer, especially when I go to therapy and do those sessions so I feel better physically and mentally, and I know that’s an important part of my routine. So if you stay on top of that, the burden becomes a lot lighter,” she told Today host Hoda Kotb on a podcast in August.
The TV personality recalled Biles’ much-publicized battle with the “twisties” at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, when the eight-time gold medalist credited “therapy” with her growth.
‘I think before I pushed my trauma down, and now I’ve learned to talk about it and let it go a little bit. So that really helped me, and that’s why I do what I do today,” Biles said.
“I think we used to look at therapy as a weakness, and now I look at it as a strength. And if there’s someone who can help me deal with what I’m going through, then that’s what I need to do. And now it’s a daily part of my routine.”
