Aug 6, 2024, 06:45 PM

Retired gymnast MyKayla Skinner has publicly appealed to her former teammate Simone Biles to help stop the cyberbullying she has faced following a feud. Skinner claims that she has received death threats after Biles seemingly used Skinner's own words against her while celebrating the U.S. women's gymnastics team's Olympic victory. Skinner's plea comes after she criticized the team's work ethic, which led to backlash from Biles' followers. In an emotional Instagram video, Skinner asked Biles to address her fans and put an end to the threats and bullying, which she says have also targeted her family.
