Let’s rewind for a moment. After months of grueling competition and time away from home, Jordan Chiles was finally enjoying some well-deserved downtime. Yet, as it often goes for public figures, the trolls refused to let her rest in peace. Thankfully, her mom, Gina Chiles, wasn’t about to let things spiral out of control. Since the 2024 Paris Olympics, the 23-year-old gymnastics star has found herself at the center of a divide—some fiercely supporting her while others taking cheap shots. But Gina’s unwavering love and fiery spirit have never wavered. Once again, she swooped in like a guardian angel armed with sass and truth bombs.
In a bold November 15 post on X, Gina set the record straight, shutting down Jordan Chiles’ critics with words that hit like a perfectly executed dismount. Admitting how tempting it was to go after the trolls, she confessed, “The amount of times I write and delete is…too many.” Still, she let her classy side hold the reins—for the most part. When she did speak, her words packed a punch. “She has more medals than you have teeth, so there’s that,” Gina declared, serving a reality check with a dash of sharp wit. Her reminder? Jordan Chiles has earned her place in the spotlight, and no amount of trolling can tarnish her brilliance. And guess what? Jordan has finally chimed in with her own response!
On November 16, Jordan Chiles took to X, adding her voice to the conversation by reposting her mom’s fiery tweet. Her caption? A short but bold, “That part….”—a mic-drop moment that left no room for doubt about where she stood. And guess what? Fans wasted no time rallying behind the Olympian, flooding her with words of support and cheers to lift her spirits.

One fan stepped into the comments with a heartfelt message, writing, “We all ❤️ u. Stay strong. Make waves. Keep being brave and confident. It’s ok if it makes other people nervous. Not ur problem. ✌️✊❤️” And honestly? Couldn’t agree more! Amid the whirlwind of challenges she’s faced, Jordan Chiles continues to stand tall, even when the odds seem stacked against her.
The storm began with the controversial decision to strip Chiles of her hard-earned bronze medal—a moment that crushed her spirit and sparked a wave of trolls eager to add salt to the wound. Even before losing the medal, the Olympian endured a torrent of online negativity. But when Romania’s Ana Barbosu was moved to third place, Jordan Chiles didn’t hold back her frustration.
“I have no words. This decision feels unjust and comes as a significant blow not just to me but to everyone who has championed my journey,” she shared, baring her emotions. Adding to the injustice, Chiles became the target of ra*ially charged attacks, facing vile comments, hateful sl*rs, and dehumanizing images. But that was only the start of the outpouring of support for Chiles!

You got that right! A wave of support flooded in for Jordan Chiles, with fans and friends stepping up in her corner. One heartfelt comment read, “Just keep being your bada** self, JC. The people who matter adore you.” And it’s not just her mom fiercely backing her up—her teammates, including none other than the GOAT herself, Simone Biles, have stood solidly by her side throughout the storm. Simone shared her own words of wisdom, revealing, “We’ve been FaceTiming, texting, just being girls.”
Biles also recalled a heartfelt moment where she encouraged Jordan to lean into her emotions, saying, “You know what, Jordan, you have to feel all these feels. Don’t let these emotions stop you. This will be the healthiest way to get all of this out.” Simone added, “We want that justice for Jordan and why we’re going to keep supporting her and uplifting her.”
Another supporter joined the chorus with, “I hear you, mama!” And oh, how right they are—Mama Chiles doesn’t hold back when it comes to standing tall for her daughter. This isn’t the first time Gina Chiles has stepped into the spotlight to shield Jordan from the storms. She’s spoken out before about the cruel realities her daughter faces, shedding light on the relentless trolls. “The ra*ist, disgusting comments are still happening in 2024,” Gina had shared with a heavy heart. She didn’t mince words, expressing her frustration over those who deny the existence of such hate. “My daughter is a highly decorated Olympian, with the biggest heart and a level of sportsmanship that is unmatched…and she’s being called disgusting things.”
And the love just keeps pouring in! Another fan chimed in with a heartfelt comment: “I love you, Jo 🥹🩷. Keep being a light and try your best to pay no mind to the negativity!” And it’s not just Jordan Chiles, beyond her ever-supportive mom, her sister Jazmin has also stepped up, using her voice to call out the injustice that has rocked Jordan’s world. Jazmin didn’t hold back when addressing the decision that stripped Jordan of her bronze medal. “Her bronze was stripped over 4 seconds of time,” she shared with fiery conviction. “Not because she didn’t win. Not because she was drugged. Not because she stepped out of bounds. Not because she wasn’t good enough. But because the judges failed to give her difficulty and forced an inquiry to be made,” Jazmin passionately declared in an Instagram story.
As fans gear up for the next season, they’re showing mad love for Jordan Chiles! One fan dropped a comment saying, “Same! I will read a b*tch to filth. Cannot wait to cheer you and your team on this next season. Rise above and show out XOXO,” making it clear they’re all in for Jordan and her crew. It’s obvious—despite the trolls trying to throw shade, Jordan’s got an army of fans backing her up, ready to hype her up and watch her shine.
