“If you keep commenting or tweeting at me I’m just going to block you. simple as that,” the post continued. “And no I don’t need to touch grass or whatever tf y’all suggest…”

The post comes after Biles won the Core Hydration Classic on Sunday, bringing in the top score ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics this summer. After the big victory, Biles posted an Instagram kissing Owens captioned “my whole heart 🤎🤞🏾 the best supporter, I couldn’t ask for a better husband.” Despite several supportive comments, several commenters poked fun at the controversy and Owens.

The criticisms Biles called out in her post stemmed from a December podcast episode in which Owens said that he “didn’t know” who Biles was when she first messaged him on the dating app, Raya, in 2020.

“The first thing that I saw was that she just had a bunch of followers,” Owens said at the time. “So in my mind I’m like, ‘OK, she’s got to be good.'”

In April, Biles addressed the comments on an episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, saying that that there was “nothing foul about it,” in response to what he said and the reaction from others “hurt my feelings.”

“That really hurt that they were talking about my husband like that,” Biles said. “Because for me, it’s like, talk about me all you want, but don’t come for my family, never.”

Biles and Owens got married in a courthouse wedding in April 2023 before having a destination wedding. Since then, the couple have kept their followers updated about life as a married couple, including details about the renovation on their home.
