Simone Biles says the backlash from husband’s viral interview ‘really hurt’: ‘I broke down’.. full details below 👇

It’s like, talk about me all you want, but don’t come from my family. Never,” Biles said.Simone Biles says the backlash that her husband, Jonathan Owens, received after his viral interview “really hurt” her.In the April 17 episode of Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Biles addressed Owens appearance on “The Pivot” podcast in which he seemingly implied that he was “the catch” in their relationship and had no clue who Biles was before they got together.“

I was in the room. I was sitting on the chair. You just couldn’t see me on the videos I was there for the whole entire video,” Biles said, noting that she was “feeling great” in the moment and thought nothing of his remarks.”I was like, ‘My man just killed that,'” she joked of how he handled his interview.

However, Biles soon found out that the public felt differently, with many reaching out to her to tell her so.”So, whenever he did that interview, I thought everything was OK. And then I go on Twitter, and everybody’s like, divorce this man, he’s mean. I’m like, he’s the sweetest. He praises the ground that I walk on. Truly, I’ve never met a man like him,” she said.As for him supposedly not calling her a “catch,” Biles says that fans got it wrong and misinterpreted his words.Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens at a game between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers on January 29, 2024 in Houston, TX.Carmen Mandato / Getty Images”He never said I wasn’t a catch. He said he was a catch because he is,” she explained. “I’ve never met a man like him.

A lot of people that meet him are like, ‘Oh my gosh, I want a man like that,'” she said, adding that Owens is “so nice” and “a lot” of girls he interacts with at the gym “love him.”Biles said that’s why she couldn’t understand why his comments went viral. After taking a moment to think about it, Biles said that social media users were probably “mad that he didn’t include me in the interview.”But, she noted that it didn’t bother her to not be included in his interview because it was his time to shine.”He has to have his moments too and I let him have it,” she said.

“It’s like, this is his moment. That’s his interview. What was I supposed to interrupt that interview and be like, ‘Hey, da da da,'” she added.Despite thinking that the whole controversy was “hilarious,” Biles noted that the public scrutiny did eventually get to her.”So I thought it was hilarious at first and then they hurt my feelings,” she said. 

“One night, I broke down and I’m like, why are you guys talking about my husband like this? You don’t know him, you don’t know who he is, and if anybody’s met him, they know he’s the sweetest guy and will do anything for anybody.””

So, that really hurt that they were talking about my husband like that because for me, it’s like, talk about me all you want, but don’t come from my family. Never,” she said.
