Mykayla(karen) all she had to do was cry and now people feel sorry for her. And she was talking about the women on the USA team. Not just in general. Look up how she was treating Gabby Douglas.
She said everyone but Biles....so she was being specific. She also shaded Gabby Douglas in 2016, there is a precedent with her behavior. She started it but now everyone should feel sorry for her? It is not Biles responsibility to clean up something that Skinner started.
Shame on you Charlie and Edward proclaiming straight away that you're Team MyKayla and that Simone should have taken the high road and not respond. First of all, Mykayla should have not made the remark in the first place and is now playing the victim. Take the time and read the comments to see what a troll and bully Mykayla has been over the years. Of course death threats are horrible and unacceptable, but like another person commented below, "Mykayla is just trying to make Simone look bad." She can't throw the rock and then try to hide her hands. All of the gymnasts work so hard, display real grace and should be acknowledged for that. I don't like you two today.
This guy is delusional concerning Biles. But Skinner is not accomplished enough to speak on this. She also attacked Gabby. How do you make Simone the villian? Actions get reactions.
They are white. Privilege speaking for privilege. Stand on what you say is key. Don’t come out and shade people, and play victim when the roles are reversed. If she can’t handle the internet or the criticism then don’t provide critiques on the internet about others… simple.
USA gymnastics is no longer based on a culture of abuse. There have been strides made in training protocols, ie training smarter not harder. They work hard but know when pushing on is detrimental. I heard MS speak on the topic and her recent explanation is not what I took away from her initial comments.
This is bullshit. Makayla thought she was gonna act slick and get away with it. Now she got backlash and can't handle it. Obviously, threats are too much. But until we see the messages, I don't believe it even happened
If they didn’t win gold…Does anyone think Mykayla would have stayed silent? When someone wins they AWAYD shade their detractors. Even if Simone didn’t say anything she still would have received the same threats. You guys are fallen for the okie dolk, mykayla didn’t even have apologize in her plead to simone. So she’s basically demanding Simone defend her. Which is bs.
You two are dead wrong for this!! How is Simone the bad guy here? How dare you!! Makayla was very specific and did attack them and the backups. Gymnastic fans in general, not “Simone’s fans” are responding to Makayla’s livestream. She blocked Simone when Simone tried to discuss her comments BEFORE the finals. She should apologize to gymnastics fans herself for her first video and ask them to stop. Instead she’s now victimizing Simone again with her Karen tears and making it Simone’s responsibility. Very manipulative approach! BTW The “work ethic “she spoke of was when the Toxic Karolis were their coaches and got exposed for their treatment of the gymnasts.
This dude is the type of person who will hit someone and yell “don’t hit me!” at the same time. PS. Skinner did more than tweet those unwarranted comments
I'm team Simone maybe Makela should think before she posts. Simone didn't ask her fans to go after her. And I don't think she was talking in generalities like she saying now.
ARE YOU ALL NUTS!! MYKAYLA STARTED IT! SHE SAID, WHAT SHE SAID! SHE TOOK NO ACCOUNTABILITY AND SHE SHOULD HAVE KEPT THAT BS APOLOGY!! SHE WAS SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT THOSE GIRLS.SHE DOESN'T GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO DICTATE THE CONSEQUENCES OF HER ACTIONS! SHE IS NOT THE VICTIM! SHAME ON YALL! SO SAD!
Yall are lying about Simone ....Simone is not bring anyone down....Have yall listened to Mykaylas videos. Mykayla also specifically called Hezleys name and criticized hezleys performance. Mykayla also said that Suni didn't have a gymnasts body. Mykayla made more than one video criticizing the team and how do yall know that people weren't attacking team USA due to Mykaylas comments. How do you all know that each of the girls in the team didn't receive mocking due to Mykaylas comments. Have yall realized that Simone could have put the caption on the gold medal picture to let EVERYONE who had been criticizing the team (more than likely due to Mykayla's comments) know that the team is olympic champions despite being called my MANY people 'lazy and lack of talent'...Mykayla just wants the media to attack Simone...I think that it's DISGUSTING that you all are holding Simone RESPONSIBLE for the backlash that Mykayla is getting due to her OWN comments. Simone never called any names but Mykayla keeps making videos calling out people and using their names and yet yall say that it's simones fault that mykayla is getting death threats.....it's Mykaylas fault that the internet trolls are attacking her...Simone can't even get people to stop trolling her husband due to his comments...Due to this new video that Mykayla just put out she had been named 'Donkey of the day' by Charlemagne on the Breakfast club...Is that Simones fault...Mykayla is trying to weaponize her whitewoman victimhood against a very famous black woman and she's not taking any responsibility for her own words. She's saying that it's Simones fans..She blocked Simone but she posted a video where she is addressing Simone. How was Simone going to see the video if she is blocked? She wanted the media to see the video and attack Simone on her behalf..I'm stunned that she keeps blaming Simone for her choices. Simone SHOULD NOT RESPOND TO HER ANYMORE...SIMONE HAS NO POWER OVER HOW PEOPLE RESPONDS TO MYKAYLAS VIDEO. NOW SHES GETTING MORE HATE DUE TO THIS NEW VIDEO TGAT SHE PUT OUT MAKING FALSE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST SIMONE.
This guy is completely delusional. The internet gives every one a voice. MyKAREN called these elite athletes lazy while she was an alternate and …now is at home. Now she wants to ask for help to defend her when people are simply coming at her because what she said was so disgraceful. Did she care about the mental health of the gymnast when she was calling them lazy after knowing the kind of training and investment they have made? This podcast is a joke …get a job.
Whan whan whan chicken little. When it's done to you, you don't find it pleasant. Get over it. The internet trolls are always ready to pounce. Don't wear you heart on your sleeves. Simone is minding her businesses and polishing her metals . She don't have time for that.
Clearly these two people did not do their research on Skinner. If they did they would know this isn’t her first “bad take” on gymnastics. This lady has been throwing rocks and hiding her hands for years and the fact that they believe Simone should walk back a statement made from someone who couldn’t even qualify for Paris is wild. No one asked for Skinners unprovoked “opinion” and Skinner shouldn’t be asking for Simone to tell other grown ass people on the internet to stop bullying her. Consequences of her actions is in full effect and no I’m not for death threats but her ass getting dragged across the internet will suffice 😊
Maybe Mykayla should have been more concerned about her own mental Heath instead of throwing a rock, breaking the window and running away that someone else should take the blame? How about" if you don't have something good to say, don't say anything at all. Jealousy was the green eyed monster. Mykayla should log of social media, at least for a while. How about if she starts to take some responsibility for her actions. She said what she said and now Simone should take responsibility for Mykayla's behaviour? WOW!!!
Lol..yeah this is nuts. Skinner was the bully and then when people started bullying her she fake-cry-voiced thru a manipulative video made to get Simone back by trying to turn her into the instigator. Tmz is ticking me off
It’s not a Team USA drama issue. Simone is on Team USA, Skinner hasn’t been for over three years. MyKaren needs to sit down and learn how to vault properly. Imagine being “so talented” that they have a two point deduction named after you. She put her opinion into the aether, and that toxicity is coming back to her tenfold. She needs to learn. She’s going to be safe, she has God and money on her side. She deserves to be safe, but she DOES NOT deserve to run that mouth without being open to opinions. She has NEVER apologized for ANY of her well-documented racist behavior over the last decade. Biles and Skinner were not allowed to room together since 2013 because of some language Skinner used. In the lead up to the 2021 Olympics, we watched Mykayla improve her execution score on bars by about a half point by keeping her feet and knees together, so maybe she could gain a half point in life by shutting her mouth. Simone didn’t bring Myk down, mayonnaise girl, she already was down and she just rubbed Myk’s face in it. She didn’t make the 2016 team partially because of her behavior. Skinner meant every word she said, she only didn’t mean it after she realized how fn stupid it was.
Oh my!now she’s the victim after starting this S-Storm, now she wants Simone to stop the attacks that’s coming her way that she started. WOW. A double WOW I’m coming out of respect Mrs skinner. We as people need to be mindful before we speak. No matter what race we are. If team USA had not won no medals in gymnastics this year there’s no telling how far your comments would go. Yes I agree you shouldn’t be persecuted and or bullied. But it’s not Simone fault or fight. Those are the words you choose to degrade team USA. And I’ll bet those young ladies looked up to you.
I'm white and blonde and no way would I defend her. She started it and was in no way being generalized she is very specific in who she thinks is lazy and talentless. Makela needs to shut up and go away. And she should apologize to team USA.
Um it’s not Simone’s fault. No one deserves death threats. Of course that is not in question. but Mykayla needs to learn that PUBLIC words can have PUBLIC consequences. Her words were hurtful. Now she is upset cause she is getting backlash and thinks it’s Simone’s fault. Ma’am really? Simone is not to blame for the general public. Apologize without gaslighting and move on.
Wow! Bs take, guys. Skinner tried to ruin their moment and make it all about her. Mykayla started this, why should Simone take the high road? Why not Mykayla? Kmt... How about Mykayla gives a genuine apology and owns her ish? Bullying is never ok, btw.
She wasn't talking next generation, she has shaded other teammates for years. EDUCATE YOURSELVES, Skinner is toxic, look what she did to Gabby. You two dont deserve a channel
