Simon Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens has come to her defence after a fan claimed that she was “rude”.

The football safety, 28, took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to hit back at the criticism about his wife. In a post, which is now private but which has been reshared by Owens, a social media user claimed that when the couple came into their makeup store, Biles was “so f***ing rude”. The store associate also alleged that when her coworkers “politely asked Biles for a picture,” the athlete said “absolutely not,” before allegedly complaining to the manager about hating “the feeling of people staring at her while shopping”.
