Simone Biles clarified her comments on Tuesday after a heated social media interaction with conservative activist and former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines over the weekend over her views on transgender athletes.

Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is facing a ton of backlash for comments she made about transgender athletes on Friday night. Biles became the most decorated U.S. Olympic gymnast in history during the 2024 Summer Games in Paris.
