From Daily Mail: The latest twist in the feud between Simone Biles and Riley Gaines has seen the conservative sports commentator reveal she feels ‘sorry’ for the Olympic hero due to how many people came after her.
The feud between Gaines and Biles started on Friday, after the former college swimmer, who competed against Lia Thomas, commented on a photo of a Minnesota high school softball player. That led to a furious response from the gymnast.
Now, after a few days and a massive reaction, Gaines has had time to reflect on what transpired between the women on OutKick.
Gaines said that while she was prepared for an angry response to her posts, the amount of negative comments directed at Biles made her feel “almost bad” for the gold medalist.
“I was prepared when I got that notification, Clay (Travis), on my phone for that onslaught of hatred to come towards me,” Gaines said. “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, I mean, two days straight. Even on TikTok – every TikTok video that pops up on my For You page is someone coming for Simone Biles for coming for me and for my body.”
Gaines was referring to a comment Biles made, which appeared to be an attempt at body-shaming. Biles has not made another comment on the subject since the controversial post.
