Olympic gold medalist and gymnastics legend Simone Biles gave fans a disturbing inside look at some of the abuse she received from an anonymous troll.
‘Hope y’all are having a better day than me,’ Biles wrote on Instagram alongside a screen grab of a text message she received.
That message centered on Biles and her abuser, Dr. Larry Nassar, who is serving up to 175 years in prison for sexually abusing dozens of young gymnasts.
‘Where (sic) you molested by that nasser (sic) coach,’ read the upsetting message.
The anonymous antagonist continued by referencing Biles’ husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens.
‘Also don’t go on the internet taking criticism from strangers about your husband or marriage,’ read the following message. ‘It shows how young and immature you really are damaged goods.’

Biles responded on Instagram: ‘these are the texts I receive from random a** numbers. Btw y’all are f***in weird for this.’
As vile as the message was, it didn’t appear to ruin her evening.
Biles revealed in another post she had a ‘girl dinner’ at The Birdstreets Club in West Hollywood.
‘Then I backed out…,’ she wrote. ‘0/10 do not recommend.’

Last April, Biles was among more than 100 beneficiaries of the $138.7 million settlement with the US Justice Department over the FBI’s mishandling of the Nasser allegations.
Nassar was a leading doctor at Michigan State and with USA Gymnastics, but used his position within those organizations to sexually abuse young women under the guise of treatment.
Including all settlements, more than $1 billion has now been site aside by various bodies to pay Nassar’s victims.
The Justice Department has acknowledged that it failed to step in prior to 2016, when investigators found child sex-abuse images in Nassar’s possession, leading to one of the biggest scandals in sports history.
