Simone Biles’ birth mother breaks cover and begs for forgiveness from daughter she abandoned

Simone Biles’ birth mother Shanon has called for the Team USA legend to forgive her and reestablish a connection.

Biles departed Paris with gold medals from the team, all-around, and vault finals along with silver in the floor routine. She has 11 Olympic medals to her name, tying Czechoslovakia’s Vera Caslavska for the second-most by a female gymnast in Olympic history

In an interview with DailyMail.com, Shanon declared her hope for when Biles will reach out so she can ask her daughter for forgiveness. The 52-year-old’s struggles with drug addiction led to her needing to abandon Biles and the gymnast’s siblings.

“It was hard to give up my kids, but I had to do what I had to do,” Shanon told DailyMail.com. “I wasn’t able to care for them. I was still using and [my father] didn’t want me coming in and out of their lives when I wasn’t right.

“I was hard-headed. I didn’t care, screaming, ‘I want to see my kids, why you doing this to me?’ I didn’t understand at the time but years later, I understood why. I had to deal with me first.”

Shanon’s father Ronald and wife Nellie were forced to step in when her drug and alcohol struggles accelerated, taking Biles and Adria to Texas. Shanon’s two eldest children Tevin and Ashley were taken in by Ronald’s sister Harriet in Cleveland.

Shanon remains in touch with Biles’ biological father Kevin Clemons, who lives in Cleveland and has no contact with his daughter amid his own addiction problems in the past. Shanon said: “We both want to see her. I talk to him all the time. He says, ‘If you talk to Simone, give her my number. I’d love to talk to her.’ But I can’t even talk to her. I have to go through my dad.”
