As the tweet started to make rounds, Jonathan stepped right in to defend Biles over the case. “Spreading lies on the internet is crazy, it’s okay for her to deny a picture,” tweeted Owens. “Like why would you try to make her look like that, she’s sweetest person in the world.” he further added.

When he sent the perfect gift for her comeback

After recovering from her ‘twisties,’ Simone made a comeback earlier this year at the 2023 Core Hydration Classic. Simone, though just back from a break, performed excellently and returned to a room filled with flowers. There was a bouquet containing red roses, carnations, and alstroemeria, alongside a glass vase filled with a dozen red roses amidst a sea of white hydrangeas. Metallic balloons adorned with roses awaited Biles after the event.
