In a show of solidarity, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles has come forward to defend her husband, Jonathan Owens, after he faced criticism for wearing one of her gold medals from the Paris 2024 Olympics. The backlash ensued after Owens posted a photo on Instagram, proudly showcasing the medal around his neck.

The social media post quickly garnered attention, with some fans suggesting that Owens was portraying himself as the victor of the all-around event. Notably, YouTube star Kiera Breaugh chimed in, urging him to remove the medal, emphasizing that he hadn't performed the remarkable feats that led to its acquisition.

However, amidst the backlash, many other fans extended their congratulations to Biles and applauded Owens for his support, even during his busy NFL training schedule with the Chicago Bears. Biles has already secured three gold medals at the Paris Olympics, bringing her total Olympic medal count to an incredible 10, with seven of them being gold.

Biles directly addressed the criticism surrounding her husband in a comment on a fan's TikTok video. She shared her perspective and confronted those who had maligned Owens, stating, "Crazy thing is, I put my medal on every single one of my family members and took pictures. So don't ever make assumptions. Like y'all are so f***ing miserable. Leave us alone."

Keira Breaugh responded with a video admitting that she felt "honored" to receive such feedback from a talented individual like Biles. Despite acknowledging that Owens may have been wearing the medal at Biles' instruction, Breaugh also recognized the supportive role he has played, notably seen taking notes during her competitions.

It is not the first time that Owens has faced criticism in relation to his comments about their relationship. In a previous episode of The Pivot podcast, he admitted to not initially recognizing Biles when they first met on the dating app Raya. This, coupled with his belief that men are the "catch" in their relationship, sparked backlash among fans who highlighted Biles' outstanding achievements.

During an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Biles shared her initial amusement at the viral reaction to her husband's comments, but also revealed how the negative comments eventually took an emotional toll on her. She firmly asserted her unwavering support for Owens and emphasized the importance of protecting her family from unnecessary scrutiny.

In May, Biles once again addressed the disparaging remarks directed at her husband when fans tried to diminish his role in their relationship. She responded on her Instagram Story, stating, "The joke was never a joke! Y'all are blatantly being disrespectful to my relationship and my husband. So I'm gonna go ahead and say this one time. Respectfully, f*** off."

Simone Biles continues to shine on the Paris Olympics stage with her exceptional performances, all while standing up for her husband and asserting that their bond remains unshakable. As she focuses on her own success, she urges critics to redirect their attention away from her personal life and instead appreciate her remarkable achievements as an Olympic legend.
