I do believe her mother should have reach out to her instead of social media! she was the one who abandon her children because of a drug addiction .. it’s her steps not Simone
@@fatonyalmitchell3281that is not true. The children were removed from the home and placed in several foster care homes before the children were adopted. This mother wasn't being noble as she is trying to portray. The grandparents adopted Simone and her sister at the age of 6 . The aunt adopted the other two siblings.
Not only that, Biles children were adopted by "family members" not strangers! Family knows some things! Her adopted Father is her Grandfather and the biological mother's Father!
When a child hates a cat for getting better food than them you know she not going back there she not letting simone decides for herself i wonder if she wasnt famos if she would of contacted her
@@darendee5682trying to go to the public where they are already been disrespecting her. She’s not gonna listen to those people anyway so regardless of her doing that it’s not gonna work.
Her mother didn’t come out when she was struggling in 2021 and quit the Olympics midway or when she was touched by the Olympics team doctor. she just wants to come out now because Simone did well this time.
That is foul. If Simone wants to keep her distance from her, I don't blame her. If she so chooses, she will reach out to her biological mother in her own time. Thank God, Simone's grandparents and her sister have been there for her through the thick and thin. 🙏🏾
Simone did great in 2016. Gold for team, gold on vault, gold on floor, bronze on beam and I think she popped out then too. Gabby Douglas’ father tried the same thing in 2012.
Where was her mom in 2016 when she won her FIRST OLYMPIC AA TITLE ??? I personally think it’s wrong for her mom to be waiting for Simone to reach out… but I also don’t think her mom should barge into her life. (It’s just not Simone’s responsibility to pander to her mother’s feelings. I can say one thing for certain, as an addict in recovery a former gymnast and a current parent, I never would’ve let drugs come in between me and my child. I got clean years before my child was born (and I’m grateful everyday for that). But I would’ve shown up for Simone the second I found out she was excelling in gymnastics. Also, my mom died (OD) when I was 6, so being the mom in a relationship is super important to me. (Drugs didn’t just effect the Black community back then, it also effected my family and I’m white) 7:48 I agree, this is a lose, lose situation for everyone. It’s such a sad situation for everyone involved.
As someone who was disowned by their parents, I can say that Simone owes her mum nothing. Her mother should just be proud of how great her daughter has become from a distance and pray Simone may reach out if/when she is ready ❤
If genuine, she would not be doing interviews. Private matters are not for public consumption. She most likely got paid for that interview. That's all that's needed to know about her motive.
I agree with you that they should not have done the interview. This is when you stay in your lane, if and when she reaches out it's up to Simone. My question is only Simone she wants to reach out, what about the rest of her children.
@@dorothycordice Simone is famous and rich. This is typical of absentee parents who abandon their children. They only reach back AFTER the child becomes a success story. They only want money.
@@uzo9887 it's disingenuous. If she meant it she would have not gone to the media. My mother was on drugs and I was raised by my grandparents. I still give my mother grace to this day but I can tell when she is trying to manipulate me and because I'm from the streets I can tell she view my grace as a weakness since i am spiritual. I tell her I'm not dumb, I know those hustler moves and to stop. Going public to try to make other people get involved to tell you to deal with them is their indirect goal. I still love and honor my mother but I do not fold to no pressure. Women especially do this because of the social points of being a mother people will always sympathize with them and ignore your actual factual dealings. They always go the public route when you tell them no or do not allow access into your life. They always want to comeback when you are successful. I went to family therapy with my grandparents as a young adult when she tried to re-enter my life and that's one of the things they point out. It's a manipulation tactic and in some cases can be very dangerous. If you allow access to your life to them you could be opening the door to the streets in which you would normally have nothing to do with.
@@uzo9887she is embarrassing Simone by speaking publicly about what should be private. I have no doubt she was paid by the Daily Mail for that interview. It's what they do. Disgusting. Sometimes you have to love people from afar and not let them add more trauma to your life. Like Simone said, without her grandparents she would not be who she is today.
00:20 no she did not give them to their grandparents, she abandoned them, they ended up in foster care and the grandparents went to go get them. Big difference
Why do people say stuff like that?? She doesn’t have to disappear, because I’m sure Simone wouldn’t want that, but she’s can’t sit here and expect for Simone to come to her. My lil brother had to experience the same thing from his dad, and I had to have an hr long conversation with his dad to make it very clear to him that he is the parent and you cannot expect your child, who barely knows you, to reach out to you and orchestrate a relationship. You have lost your mind if you logically think things should work that way. This is how a lot of Gen x’ers think though, because this is how their parents treated them. My mother is the same way. If you get into it with her and she decides to come back around she will act like nothing ever happened and won’t utter an apology to save her f-ing life. And as her child I do not have to deal with any of it.
😂😂😂 I can’t even blame that logic on the drugs. That woman is just crazy and sounds like my little brother’s father . Man some of these parents are just flat out crazy.
Mom does not need to pick up the phone. If and when Simone is ready, she will contact her bio.. Simone does not need the stress 🤷🏽 social media needs to stay out of it.
I would forgive my mother if she abandoned me because she carried me for nine months but not my father if he abandoned me because after a woman give birth it up the father to provide
@@sportsglobally146 You don't owe your mother for carrying you and birthing you. She didn't do you a favor. Just say you put women on pedestals and you hold men to a harsher standard. That's all you had to say.
@@KtotheG It's the father responsibility to provide. *But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever*
@@alluringbliss4165 It's the HUSBAND'S responsibility to provide "food, clothing and xes" for his wife. That's in Exodus. If momma didn't get married before she gave birth, she gotta figure it out. We used to have shotgun weddings to prevent out of wedlock births, but that fell out of fashion with feminism. So it's now the woman's responsibility to protect her womb and make her own choices about her body and reproductive capability. That's what y'all protested for.
@@KtotheG Nope, the bible does not condone fornication. YOu must have never read Levictis and Deuteronomy. If you pull down your pants, you have committed a sin . God put the man in charge and you will answer for the offspring you created.
I disagree with those saying "Simone should reach out and forgive". Yes, you can forgive, but that doesn't mean you need to allow that individual back into your life! Simone's mother had an opportunity to be present for her daughter, and unfortunately, she missed that chance. Simone probably wants to live her life with a happy and healthy mindset, and re-living all of that trauma can be too much.
Exactly... I agree... and her mother is coming at her with a lot of pride. She needs to humble herself because her daughter doesn't owe her anything. Nobody owes her anything. I think she just wants money. Otherwise, why is doing this now? She wants money and to be able to brag and say, "that's MY daughter... she's a champion and I birthed her." So she's loot-chasing and clout-chasing.
What comes to mind is the James Brown movie with Chadwick Boseman, the scene where James Brown mom tried to comeback in his life after he made it and he closed her out due to the pain and trauma he went through only to later tell his friend to make sure she has everything she needs. It takes a lot to reach that level of health and healing. Trama effects us all differently and a lot of times we don't see the full iceberg of the situation.
When you make bad choices, you can't pick the consequences. As a child of teen parents growing up in the 80s I completely understand her decision. There is nothing she can do for Simone at this point in life. The hard work has been done, she is pretty much a stranger and Simone doesn't owe her anything.
@@archiemcdonald3425 read the scripture below it … do not provoke the child …. God is complete in his word. Read the whole scripture. Then read Ephesians 6 and god gives us responsibility. Don’t make excuses for being a poor parent.
How do you know how long she has been trying to have a relationship with her daughter. The crack era destroyed the black community and the black community is still reeling from it. It was done to set blacks back decades from the gains we made.
@@ronm9725Yes you are right about the purpose of Ronald Reagan dumping crack into the black communities. But, that has nothing to do with their relationship now. If you watched the first movie about Simone's life you would know that she would talk to her mother on the phone all the time until it became back for her metal health.
@@vrjanice2 No but it has everything to do with it back then. The black family is fragile from slavery until now it’s been destroyed. We were really starting to turn things around when Ronald Reagan and George H W Bush unleashed the crack era on the black community never to be the same again
There is another daughter, she hasn’t said anything about reconnecting with her. If she wanted that, she should’ve done this away from the public eye. If Simone is leery of her, I can understand it. People do this all the time, when a child gains notoriety, family members pop out of the woodwork. Children don’t owe you anything but honor and sometimes that means having nothing to do with them at all. If you walk off and leave your children without regard, no care for the child’s welfare, all they owe you is forgiveness.
They're not really owed forgiveness. It would be better for the aggrieved to forgive, because it's better for their mental health and spirituality, but it's not an entitlement for the offender or the transgressor.
Actually, there are 5 children all together. The Grandfather's (Simone's Father) sister adopted the other children (the GrandAunt)! That is my understanding!
I don't know all the facts but I think most things between a mother and daughter should be private in order to give both of them time to heal without the scrutiny of the public eye.
As Black Americans there is the black tax where you are expected to help pull others up. I agree to a certain point. Not if you are 35 and still have not figured it out.
The STUNNING South African woman made valid points. I swear she looks like Lauryn Hill. It's hard to feel sorry for young NON RETIREMENT aged grown able bodied adults who refuse to apply for a job.
This is bs because since Simone Biles is considered a public figure and now her mother going public is puttin pressure on Simone. I can imagine people on social media or upcoming interviews asking her about her mom & y she won't reach out and if Simone doesn't speak out about it could potentially put a mark on her image & yall know how the internet can be with all the trolling. And she's a advocate of mental health & goes to therapy already & this could possibly add 2 the stress. All this coudda been done in private. Let the woman have her moment in the sun & let her shine damn.
Right. Like her mom is doing this all over again just now on a public scale. She is literally choosing herself again. That is so so so unfair to Simone. This is how the devil does though, love to break your heart at the top.
In due time, Simone along with her siblings will talk birth mother without the Media. Their Family business is not for the public Now. Handle Your business Simone ❤
No excuses Simone Biles mother could have got custody of her when she got sober, I'm a legit crack baby, I went through foster two different foster families, and yet my mom was fight to get custody of me and my brothers. Simone is right.
It's obvious she didn't fight at all because trust when I say if the kids knew their parents tried to get them back then they would definitely have some sort of relationship. She completely abandoned her kids & never looked back until one of them became a millionaire.
Simone and her sister were put into the system. Her had to get them out of the system. They were both under seven. Simone and her sister went to the grandparents. The two siblings were raised by her grandfather's sister. We don't know what those children have been through.
I'm starting to realize that family can be the worst aspect of your life sometimes. We can swear up and down it's the economy, it's our jobs, friends.... But a lot of times it's the people you used to sit in your living room with. Just constant detering and pulling you back into their own small minded vision of you. Usually mothers, siblings and cousins will hurt you the most
Family should support each other, not hurt each other... this is what happens when people move away from God. I have nothing really clinical or scientific to say, because this is clearly spiritual warfare.
I'm tired of ENTITLED BLACK PARENTS, doing wrong to your children & expecting them to forgive you, it ain't about you MISS. SILLY continue waiting. ( SHE'S LOOKING FOR MONEY)~ Wilmrbadguy
This is not a conversation that any media outlet should be having. She could have said, “No comment” and left it there. Giving this woman a platform to talk about Simone is wrong. Here is the thing, Simone doesn’t owe her mother anything. She should have had conversations with all her children, when they were ready, along time ago. Being a child of an addict is hard. Simone doesn’t owe her a conversation and notice she only says Simone, she has three other children, is she asking them publicly for a conversation? Please stop giving this woman a platform to further embarrass Simone and her family.
@@mygameishonesty9030 It puts deadbeat mothers on blast and many of them don't like that. I never see this type of reprieve being given to fathers who are in similar situations... this is a privilege only reserved for mothers.
If this was a closed adoption she wouldn’t be allowed to do this. Her grandparents adopted her legally. Those are her parents. That’s mom and dad. She doesn’t owe her biological mother nothing. She also has 2 older children she gave away too.
Makes me think of Shaq's song 'My Biological Didn't Bother.' What a waste. Shaq and Simone ended up being better off without their deadbeat parents in their formative years.
What does the mom want now? She may not want to ever have that conversation. Simone is not obligated to allow her mother back into her life. I hope she can make peace with her mother and move on with her life.
Simone has made peace...I'm sure! This selfish ex-mother is always just speaking out on ONE of her 5 children! The famous one! She is despicable and a user!
Back in the 80’s they say crack was a party drug, nobody knew how addictive it was in the beginning. THE BEGINNING! Unless you’re a part of the very first group of people who got addicted I don’t understand why anybody would try it after seeing an actual crackhead. I saw what drugs did to my community so I knew one thing for sure I WAS NEVER DOING DRUGS.
@@shi1913 thas a good point! The BEGINNING, or early adopters. And in that case, I think broski who was so critical would then need to keep that same energy for powder. If people thought they were having fun like alcohol or weed, then I would not put them in the same category as the people who, like you said, chose crack after seeing a crack head. A CRACKHEAD is not at a party. They rocking back and forth in a dark room with shag carpet lol
I think Simone’s adoptive parents are her biological maternal grandparents. Her mom said she’ll call her dad saying “hey dad” to find out about Simone. They’ll be alright… She’s still in the family. I’m sure they will talk
@@evag4535 No, this is Simone’s MOTHER’s (MATERNAL) father. Simone’s MATERNAL GRANDFATHER. If it was Simone’s paternal grandfather, he would be Simone’s FATHER’s father. You’re confusing Simone with her mother
@SunnyHeartKay Laced drinks do not lead to drug addiction. But again, you must avoid these types of things in the first place. For example, don't drink or smoke or don't hang out at bars or crack houses. It's very simple, there are many outlets to have fun and socialize. Even if you do drink or smoke, there are smarter and safer ways to go about it. Like, buy it legally and use it correctly and don't abuse it. Never let someone be in the position to lace you.
I wanted to say something profound but all of that was flushed down the toilet once Sean made me laugh hysterically.🤣🤣🤣🤣 Poor Symphony, always the professional, she always have to tuck in her laughs when you know she wants to let loose. 😂😂😂😂
Why do people run to social media for everything. Its like once you do these videos this stuff doesn't go away it is online forever. Somethings need to stay at home and behind the scenes. Now her mom is giving everyone a reason to give their opinions.
Why is this coming out now! She had and has plenty of time to try to connect, ask for forgiveness or whatever. Let Simone have her moment. When those people reached out to you for the interview you should have declined. That is not public business at all.
Exactly and she would have been blessed for realizing the importance of declining. Hate to say but she is probably still and addict and will use interview money to selfishly feed that. Instead of realizing the selfishness in it or how selfishness got her in this situation to begin with. Forget crack her addiction is selfishness and no ones gonna pay you for that.
Hopefully you two can reestablish you all relationship, and make amends, before its too late! Glad your mom gave to your grandparents! Thats a blessing itself!
It’s probably because she already tried to. If that didn’t work it would make sense to wait until the person is ready to reach out. It doesn’t sound like she demanded anything. It’s a respect thing. Because I know with me personally if I don’t wanna talk to someone don’t keep trying to call me. I’ll call you if I want to talk.
Parents and others please stop using social media as a way to get back in someone life, if a media platform or outlets want an interview about the situation reject it ( yes we all know they cut the checks just to be the 1st one to get the story) but ask yourself will it destroy your relationship more and you have to have respect for the one who you're trying to have a relationship with
Yup he's right if you ever hear old folks really talk about the issues they faced in their era you'd be surprised and probably leave in tears. They went through some stuff. I've been in conversations with friends parents who integrated their all white schools, elders interactions with the police, and how life was like with drugs in the 80's and 90's. They've been through some stuff for sure and I'm glad there are resources to help them heal or cope with what happened.
The mom did the right thing. I just think her timing of wanting to reach out was wrong. She should have before the fame. It would feel more genuine. Besides that why do so many people think a drug addict should be raising kids?? There is woman in these comments that aren’t even capable of taking care of they’re kids 🤷🏾♂️on food stamps, government assistance and or have they parents watching them all the time or taking care of them. If you need help you are not capable.
I had a niece who gave her four kids to my sister, who was her aunt. My sister couldn't take care of them anymore and told my niece to come get them in the mean time my niece had three more kids. My great nieces and nephews were put into foster care. Had my mother been living she would have had them. I got them out of foster care and then adopted all four of them. I already have two kids of my own and a single parent. My case worker told me not to let the kids go see their mother because it would reflect on their mental health. I took them to see their mother. Move to another state with the other three kids where. I told my niece that she's going to always be my niece and these kids are going to always be her kids. Well it didn't work out at the time, because the kids were being treated differently from the other three. So I moved back to my home state and once the kids got grown, they moved back to where their mother was at. Now they're back in the state where I raised them and with me. I do believe kids are traumatized, you can never tell what kids are thinking.
@@dailypearlsexactly. I'm sick of black fathers being protected by other black men and naive women and never holding them accountable. Simone doesn't OWE her mom anything. She could if she chooses but once her mom chose drugs she lost her daughters obligation. But her mom should've gone thru personal routes vs soc media
Last time I checked every child has a father. If kids are being raised by grandparents both parents let the kids down. This is why I will never have a black males child
I like the fact that Marvin has a real point of view on topics instead of trying to be funny. These other dudes try to hard to be funny and end up not being that at all. Salute to Marvin for keeping things simple and understanding towards real topics.
No credit given BUT Mom didn’t give a toxic interview.. . It was politically correct and she spoke well about her past. Being an addict isn’t cool but she didn’t disparage the situation. It’s a mature thing to do is to apologize and move on…
Speaking from someone who was also raised by their grandmother after my mother gave me up at 3 weeks old. Nonetheless, it's always the parent's responsibility to fix what they have broken with the child. All the child knows is, that they weren’t worthy of their parent's love and that hurts as an adult coming to terms with the thought . Regardless of the circumstances that took them away, the children did not ask to be here and to know that my parents didn't love me enough to fight for me, its painful. This young lady and her sister have the right to feel how they feel and move the way they move. God showed grace for both of them as they had an amazing second chance with their grandparents.
Mom should have said no comment when asked for an interview. Shame on the interviewers for trying to dig up old dirt and to bring Simone down. People always trying to dim someone 's light.
No phuck dat I ain't given generational grace on shyt! I was in a hotel months with my kids because my parents' generation believes you a never need help once you grown! So while my sons and I were in the hotels, it made STRONGER and made me never ever ever need help from anyone for anything and made me a better man! With the generational curses being broken to educate and show my kids no matter what, they never too grown to need my help, and I'll always help them. To always do whatever it takes for my kids and never be in that situation again and we never have since so naw phuck generational grace just because naw and no I'm not kid I'm 46 years grown 💯
Yes lately it hasn't been looking too good for Boomer parents. They just didn't understand how much they fd us up ... And still dont and really don't care either lol. Now that they're older and it's time to talk about generational curses they don't want to hear it because their silent generation parents did them the same way. Now all they want is time and money which would be easy if we had it to give. It's just crazy I know people with Boomer parents and grandparents who were stingy when they were young and successful. Now they expect their kids to pour money down their throats and show up regularly for a good trash talking session. This is why so many millennials are going no contact with parents these days. Simones mother is a perfect example of this
Self serving woe is me interview. She’s still toxic and messy, how do I know, she did not have to give this public interview. Simone does not have to do anything her spirit does not lead her to do. If Simone’s mother wants a relationship, she needs to stop holding public interview. Simone is honoring her parents, her grandparents, they raised loved supported and invested in her, thank God they were there. I wish Simone peace.🙏🏾🕊️
Her mom actually looks good, young really. Hope it comes together, she didn't throw them away she placed them in a safe space. (But we don't know the entire back story)
The mother didnt place them. They were put into foster care and the grandparents and aunt fought to adopt. 2 went with the grandparents and 2 went with the aunt.
@@dec1slhthank you! If you're making a conscious decision to march your kids up to a facility it's "dumping". Either way you put it that is your way of saying you don't want them kids. You "place" your kids with family a few nights then come get them. Once you close that door and walk out that building you have officially made it clear. No backstory needed.
This is a no brainer. Would the mother have approached her daughter if the daughter was still poor and struggling in life?. The answer is probably no. Hence the mom is just being opportunistic.
It's a Haitian store in my neighborhood, I talked to the owner he told me about 95% of his service is people sending money back to Haiti or Africa. For the cigarettes snacks, etc. in the other line for wiring money in that line is always full 8:22
