Simone Biles says she’s been blocked on social media — and while she didn’t name any names… almost everyone thinks My Kayla Skinnerwas the one who put the GOAT on mute.
Biles informed her 1.7 million X followers of the block on Wednesday afternoon with a cheeky four-word post: “oops, I got blocked.”
Along with the phrase, the superstar gymnast added three emojis that suggested she didn’t care one bit.
Biles didn’t elaborate on the matter…but given the way she criticized Skinner on Instagram on Tuesday, many believe it has everything to do with Biles’ former teammate.

In case you missed it, Biles and Skinner — who competed alongside each other at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics — initially feuded earlier this summer… after Skinner stated following the formation of Team USA that “aside from Simone, I feel like the talent and depth is not what it used to be.”
Part 1: The gymnastics community cannot let these comments be swept under the rug. I will be as respectful as possible to @meukaylaskinner but instead of engaging in meaningful conversations, she blocks anyone who holds her accountable for her words. photo.twitter.com/Y69pwCxnUG

“A lot of girls don’t work that hard,” Skinner added. “Girls just don’t have the work ethic.”
Bile seemed to reheat the meat after she, Suni Lee, Jordan peppers It is Jade Carey ran at top speed in the gymnastics team finals in Paris — writing a caption that was a clear criticism of Skinner.
Waiting for your permission to upload Instagram media.
“lack of talent, laziness, olympic champions ❤️🥇”, she wrote.
Skinner has yet to publicly comment on the shade — or the assumption that she made the block — though before all the drama began… she seemed to try to extend an olive branch to Team USA with a few heart emojis on a photo of Biles and company on the podium.
Biles will have a few more opportunities to take her jabs at Skinner later this week — she’ll be going for gold on a few more events — but so far…it looks like Skinner won’t be able to see them if they come via social media.
