Simone Biles has apparently rejected her biological mom’s plea for a reconciliation.
Shanon Biles wants to reconcile with the Olympic gold medalist. But it seems Simone rejected her mom’s plea by reminding her followers who her parents are.
Simone, 27, won 3 gold medals and a silver medal in gymnastics at the Paris Olympics. She has been posting nonstop on social media since she returned home.
In a post on Threads, Simone bragged that her parents bought her an expensive gift.
“My parents bought me my hermes bag. Don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents,” she wrote.

The post referred to her maternal grandfather Ronald Biles and his second wife Nellie Biles. The Biles adopted Simone, then 6, and her younger sister, Adria, when Shanon lost custody.
Shanon’s two eldest children — a girl and a boy — were taken in by an aunt.
Ronald and Nellie moved with Simone and Adria to Houston, leaving Shanon behind in Columbus, Ohio. Ronald warned Shanon not to interfere in the girls’ lives.
In an interview with the Daily Mail on Tuesday, Shanon Biles explained how her addiction to drugs and alcohol caused her to lose custody of her children.
“It took me six years before I saw my children again. I was respecting my dad to let the kids transition. He felt that was the best thing for them,” Shanon, 52, told Dailymail.com.
“It was hard to give up my kids, but I had to do what I had to do. I wasn’t able to care for them. I was still using, and he didn’t want me coming in and out of their lives when I wasn’t right.”
Shanon added: “I would like to make amends with Simone personally – I’m just waiting for her and [her younger sister] Adria. I speak to Adria more than I speak to Simone. I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move forward? Don’t judge me on my past. Let’s move forward.”
