Simone Biles’ Husband Jonathan Owens’ Gets Heavily Shielded From Online Trolling by Gymnastics Community: “He’s a Millionaire”

“Simone and what’s his name again”, “whose that guy”, “leave him sis” were the harsh words that hit the proud wife,  Simone Biles, who has been battling a wave of online hatred directed at her husband, NFL safety, Jonathan Owens, for weeks. Despite her repeated pleas to stop, the negativity persisted. Even during her recent victory at the Core Hydration Classic 2024, where Owens was present to cheer her on. 

Biles, who made a triumphant seasonal comeback at the event, was fed up with the unwarranted criticism aimed at her husband. In a firm message to her followers, she wrote, “If you keep commenting or tweeting at me, I’m just going to block you. Simple as that,” as her final warning. However, Simone Biles’ plea may have worked positively. On the latest note, several of her fans have recently thwarted a similar attack on Jonathan Owens.  

This final warning seems to have resonated with many, as a recent attack on Owens was met with a strong defence from Biles’ supporters. After Simone’s repeated plea, things seemed to work on the couple’s side as several fans defended them recently when someone called the gymnast “the submissive provider they all dream about” while belittling Jonathan Owens.

In his/her further tweet, the X-handle, Anthrophile, quoted, “An uber-successful woman, who shrinks herself and thinks her nothing male is the prize? A dream girl for sure.” However, such a tweet with contrasting meanings did not go well with the fans as the issue of criticizing Jonathan Owens persisted. Furthermore, the deliberate fervor in the tweet went against the request once Simone Biles submitted it publicly. In her statements, the 7-time Olympic medalist added, “Talk about me all you want, but don’t come for my family. Never.” Another part that came into question in the tweet was Jonathan Owens’ success meter. 

As per the available data, JO’s career earnings have touched approximately $3,246,072. Additionally, his signing with the Chicago Bears will put $4,750,000 into his purse in two years. The amount includes the signing bonus ($750,000), the guaranteed amount ($1,500,000), and the average annual salary ($2,375,000). In his first year with the Chicago Bears, the Safety will earn his base salary of $1,310,000. With that sum, a signing and working bonuses will be added. The cap hit and dead cap value will also follow the total part. Topping all these parts, JO will remain a free agent until 2026. So he might attract a larger sum in the meantime. In the past, the earnings remained notable.   

*in this timeline, the guaranteed amount remained $10,000. 

As per the numbers above, the tag of nothing male does not sit well with his name! And so, supporters have taken to social media to counter the negativity and defend the couple against unfair criticism. They have highlighted the strength of their relationship and the success Ownes has achieved in his career as elaborated above!

The fans flaunt the reality of the Biles-Owens couple 

A user stood in the face of criticism defending Jonathan Owens’ status. Claiming Simone Biles as the “supportive partner,” the user boasted, “He’s [Jonathan Owens] a millionaire on his own.” At the same time, Deszo44 brought the attack on the handle, Anthophile by deducting, “You definitely trying to live through Simone, because why you so worried about HER husband??”

Another fan, Lowkey E echoed the sentiment and pointed out Jonathan Owens’ millions of earnings in this duration. That earning never justifies the allegation Anthophile made in his/her tweet. Therefore, Lowkey E’s tweet, quoting “Lmao wtf are you even talking about?? Her man just signed a 2 year 4.7M contract. How is she providing for him?? Y’all just be on here talking to talk..” acted as a suitable rebuttal. Meanwhile, someone defended Simone Biles’ stand for Jonathan Owens. 

Another user Jason put forward, “Yall miserable. It’s all  ‘feminism is about freedom of choice’  till a woman’s choice doesn’t align with yours . Why are so called ‘feminists’ dragging a fellow woman for asking people to respect her husband?” Eventually, it was the admittance of Simone Biles’ acts defending Jonathan Owens for all this duration. She ditched her poised and maintained public image to go into Jonathan’s defense. Although the battle wasn’t easy from time to time. 

But she might find a rejoice as her fans shielded her and JO this time. One such defensive tweet quoted, “What did she do to y’all ?  Like i get it, the optics of their relationship seem centered on him and y’all have commentary on that and how it’s not the way you want to live, cool, but why not just say that ?? Why insinuate things about ppl who want to live differently than you?”

Another user fan’s tweet bore the same request: “I’m amazed at the discourse still surrounding her and her husband. They haven’t done anything to anyone”. Altogether, the latest exchange of tweets should act as icing on the cake while Simone Biles is en route to her Paris Olympics mission and Jonathan Owens is looking forward to initiating his journey for the new club.
