Simone Biles launched a furious attack on her critics after her husband – NFL star Jonathan Owens – suffered renewed abuse on social media.
Owens has been under attack in the comments since he claimed in an interview that he didn’t know who the Olympic legend was before they started dating. The Bears safety also joked that he was the “catch.”
Biles has defended Owens and on Sunday she said “I couldn’t ask for a better husband” after he was in the stands for her win at the Core Hydration Classic.
But after facing even more vitriol from Biles’ fans, Owens finally snapped and told her critics to “fuck off.”
“I’m going to get into this quickly, the joke was never a joke! You are being blatantly disrespectful to my relationship(s) and my husband.

“Y’all are blatantly disrespectful to my relationship (and) my husband,” Biles wrote
“So I’m going to go ahead and say this one time. With all due respect, fuck off,” Biles wrote on Instagram to her 7.1 million fans, many of whom are young.
‘If you keep commenting or tweeting, I’ll just block you. It’s that simple… and no, I don’t have to touch grass or whatever (the f***) you’re proposing.”
Owens echoed his wife’s comments, sharing her Instagram Story and adding, “If y’all gonna support, support!!!”
He added, “If you don’t do it respectfully, keep scrolling… Because being fake crazy about people you all don’t know from a can of paint is weird behavior.”
Owens was in the stands as Biles ramped up her preparations for this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris, where she looks to add to her seven medals.

The 27-year-old Biles, who has four Olympic gold medals to her name, posted the highest scores on vault and floor exercise and was second on uneven bars and balance beam in her debut in 2024.
“I was just happy to be back out there, getting through those nerves again and feeling that adrenaline,” Biles said. ‘
“I can’t really complain about how the first meeting was,” Biles added.
