Simone Biles isn’t taking phony birthday shout outs. The gymnast turned 23 on March 14th 2020 many flooded her timeline to wish her Happy Birthday.
USA Gymnastics posted a tribute to Simone on their twitter saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the most decorated gymnast of all time, @simonebiles! We know you will only continue to amaze us and make history!”. Simone called their B.S by replying back saying, “How about you amaze me and do the right thing… have an independent investigation.”
Along with other colleagues Simone stood up to sexual predator Larry Nassar, who is serving a life sentence on charges of child pornography and sexual misconduct after more than 150 women and girls said he sexually abused them. The Women were offered a 215 million dollar settlement as part of a plan to exit bankruptcy by the USA Gymnastics.
Simone has continued to be an advocate for change in women sports.
Biles was not alone in regards to being out spoken on the USA Gymnastics birthday tweet. Many tweeters voiced their opinions as well.
Whoever wrote this tweet should be fired… can’t even tag the right account lol
