Simone Biles is not here for the haters.
The Olympic gold medalist used social media to slam a troll who left a negative comment on a recent photo Biles shared of herself relaxing at the beach, with the hater saying it looked like Biles had “partied nonstop for a year.”

Along with the partying comment, the hater also called Biles “trashy” and a “sucky-ass role model.”
Biles’ response, however, was flawless.
“Talk to me when you train for 14 years and earn 5 Olympic Medals,” she wrote. “I think kids would say otherwise. My year off is well deserved! Take a couple seats.”
Fans immediately came to the Olympian’s defense, with many calling her an amazing role model.
As the most decorated gymnast in American history, we think Biles’ break is well deserved!
