Simone Biles has fiercely defended her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, against ongoing social media abuse. Owens has faced criticism after revealing in an interview that he didn’t know Biles was an Olympic legend before they started dating, jokingly calling himself the “catch.”
Biles, who recently won the Core Hydration Classic with Owens cheering her on, praised her husband on Sunday, stating, “I couldn’t ask for a better husband.”
She snapped at her critics, telling them to “f*** off” after her husband faced continued vitriol from her fans, as reported by Daily Mail.
“I’m going to quickly address this, the joke was never a joke! Y’all are blatantly being disrespectful to my relationship (and) my husband.
