Simone Biles’ estranged sister, Michah, recently took to TikTok to defend their biological mother, Shanon Biles, after she faced heavy criticism online. This backlash came in response to Shanon’s emotional interview where she begged Simone for forgiveness and expressed her desire to reconnect after years of estrangement. Shanon, who has been open about her struggles with addiction and the subsequent decision to allow Simone and her siblings to be adopted by their grandparents, received harsh reactions from the public, with many questioning her motives and sincerity.
In her TikTok video, Michah addressed the negative comments directed at their mother, emphasizing that Shanon has worked hard to overcome her past struggles and deserves a chance to mend relationships. Michah expressed frustration with those who were quick to judge their mother without understanding the full context of her journey.
The situation has drawn significant attention, especially given Simone’s immense success as an Olympic gymnast and the stark contrast with her complicated family history. While Simone has remained silent on the matter, Michah’s public defense of Shanon adds another layer to this ongoing family drama.
