“Mr. Simone Biles Lashing”: Internet Erupts Over Travis Kelce’s Brother, Jason Kelce’s Shade Towards Jonathan Owens Amid Gymnastics Legend’s People’s Choice Award Nomination

Simone Biles has kicked off the Olympic year 2024 on a stellar note. From her exclusive interview with Vanity Fair to her nomination for the People’s Choice Athlete of the Year award, the gymnastics phenom is geared up for her best year yet. However, amid the career highs, she also faced some turbulence in her personal life.

This was due to her husband Jonathan Owens‘ “Catch” comment on the Pivot Podcast. To make matters worse, the NFL star also received backlash for claiming not once but twice that he didn’t know about his wife’s legendary status when they initially met. Now, adding to this controversy, Travis Kelce’s brother, Jason Kelce, also joined the bandwagon and shaded Jonathan Owens, erupting a fan frenzy online.
