Simone Biles Addresses "Sad" Criticism After Experiencing Life-Threatening Medical Emergency
Biles said the trip was part of her recovery and asked critics for patience after a medical emergency that could have ended differently.
- Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is defending her decision to vacation in Belize with husband Jonathan Owens, an Indianapolis Colts player, after experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency.
- The 29-year-old revealed earlier this month that she experienced a serious medical emergency, sharing Instagram photos showing three hospital wristbands while noting, "almost dying wasn't on my bingo card."
- Critics questioned her social media activity, with one user commenting on a June 16 post, "Almost died but look at these traveling selfies," which Biles said made her "sad."
- Biles explained that her trip is "part of allowing myself to heal," adding that life-changing experiences shift perspective and asking followers to extend "a little more grace."
- During the medical emergency, Owens was in Indiana for team workouts, a separation Biles described as one of the most frightening moments of her life while the couple recovers together.
