In the video, she\u2019s seen looking into the camera along with a caption that reads, \u201cDon\u2019t come for me about my hair. IT WAS DONE but bus has NO AC & it\u2019s like 9,000 degrees \u2026 oh & a 45 min ride.\u201d<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Biles has addressed public and social media commentary about her hair.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Elle published earlier this month, Biles, who is now the most decorated gymnast in U.S. Olympics history, said she is finally learning to love her hair and the texture that she has, as well as the styles she can do.<\/p>\n
She also opened up about not being taught how to do her hair, and always going to professionals to have it styled.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Biles, who is married to NFL star Jonathan Owens, was met with negative feedback online after sharing pictures from their wedding day.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the criticism she received, Biles said \u201cMost of the backlash we get is from our own community, which is unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t really care if my edges aren\u2019t smooth,\u201d she added. \u201cI never thought about my hair like the way other people see it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Biles\u2019 outstanding performance alongside the rest of the Team USA women\u2019s gymnastics squad \u2014 which also includes Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera and Jade Carey \u2014 carried the U.S. to gold at this year\u2019s Olympics.<\/p>\n
Biles, an eight-time Olympic medalist, has also qualified to compete in the individual event finals for balance beam, floor and vault.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
