Gymnast Simone Biles has been busy with her historic comeback at the Paris Olympics.
But on Thursday she made time to shut down “fucking miserable” people — particularly one TikTok user — criticizing her husband, Chicago Bears defensive back Jonathan Owens.
Owens, who got time off from training camp to watch Biles compete, wore her gold medal in photos of the two after she led the U.S. squad to victory in the team event.
“Witnessing history every time you step on the mat,” he wrote on social media. “Congrats baby on becoming the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history!!!! Just wow!!!!”
Negative comments popped up telling Owens that the medal wasn’t his to wear.
“Why he holding it like he won it,” one commenter sniped. “That’s Simone’s gold medal you’re holding, not yours my guy,” another wrote.
Meanwhile, a viral TikTok video posted by one user ordered Owens to “take her medal off! … Take her medal off!”

The gymnastics legend clapped back hard in the comments section.
Biles wrote on Thursday: “crazy thing is, I put my medal on every single one of my family members and took pictures. so don’t ever make assumptions.”
She added: “like y’all are so fucking miserable. leave us alone.”
The user who shared the video said in a follow-up post that she was honored to be reprimanded by “such a talented woman.”
Online trolling of Owens has been a simmering issue for Biles that has boiled over from time to time.

“Y’all are blatantly being disrespectful to my relationship & my husband,” Biles wrote in May on Instagram. “So I’m gonna go ahead & say this one time. Respectfully, fuck off.”
Much of the negativity has stemmed from Owens saying on a December podcast that he didn’t know who Biles was when they matched on a dating app and suggested that he was “the catch” in the relationship.
The two married in April 2023.
On the mat in the City of Light, Biles has let her performance do the talking. She won gold for not only the team event but also the all-around, bringing her Olympic career total to nine medals.
She competes in the women’s vault Saturday.
