In the event you had been outraged on Simone Biles‘ behalf final yr, solely to see her nonetheless supporting her husband after his feedback… Properly, put together to get a booster shot of frustration!
For individuals who didn’t observe the controversy, Jonathan Owens, who can also be an athlete — a security within the NFL, was on a podcast referred to as The Pivot again in December 2023. And he used his time to… nicely, to downplay his spouse and her accomplishments.
First, he made the outrageous declare he’d by no means heard of her earlier than they began courting. Perhaps probably the most well-known gymnast alive proper now? From Group USA?? Yeah, not shopping for that one. That sounds to us like some junk you’d learn in a pickup artist guide about find out how to neg a well-known lady. Then when the opposite hosts, respecting what a baddie he was married to, requested how he landed such a lady, he corrected them — saying he felt HE was “the catch” within the relationship:
“I all the time say that the lads are the catch.”
Yeah. Wow. What a jerk, proper?
Simone publicly supported her hubby. However she needed to be upset for actual, proper? Properly, should you’ve been dying to know what the Olympian considered all this controversy behind closed doorways, wait not. The 4-time gold medalist made her personal podcast look this week, opening as much as Name Her Daddy host Alex Cooper.

So the place does Simone stand? Oh, nonetheless in Jonathan’s nook. She was current on the interview, and nicely… let’s simply say pink flags imply one thing completely different in gymnastics as a result of she noticed nothing mistaken with what he stated! Defending his phrases, she defined he “by no means stated [she] wasn’t a catch”:
“He stated he was a catch. As a result of he’s! I’ve by no means met a person like him.”
No, he stated he was the catch. There’s a distinction. He was saying that of the 2 of them, he was the one everybody needed. We’re guessing she’d heard that stuff he stated about not figuring out who she was earlier than, too. Like on their second date, he most likely was like, “Oh do you additionally do sports activities? What type?” It reads like she’s bending over backwards to keep away from being offended, which is — to be truthful — not really exhausting for her.
Simone was so oblivious to the demeaning wording, the net reactions hit her like a case of the twisties:
“I believed the whole lot was OK, after which I am going on Twitter and everyone’s like, ‘Divorce this man. He’s imply!’ I’m like, ‘He’s the sweetest. He praises the bottom that I stroll on.’ Actually, I’ve by no means met a person like him… he actually goes out of his solution to do something for me.”
Simone wasn’t harm by what her husband stated. However she was upset about everybody’s response to it! She defined:
“I believed it was hilarious at first after which it harm my emotions. One night time I broke down and I’m like, ‘Why are you guys speaking about my husband like this? You don’t know him. You don’t know who he’s and if anyone’s met him, you understand he’s the sweetest man, will do something for anyone.’”
She’s performing like persons are misjudging him — however they’re judging what he stated! And, you understand, the plain WTF remark about not figuring out who she was. However all Simone sees is a good man, an actual “catch” if you’ll — and anybody saying completely different is simply being merciless:
“That basically harm that they had been speaking about my husband like that. For me, it’s like, discuss me all you need, however don’t come for my household, by no means.”
We genuinely hope the complete world has misunderstood what her man was saying. As a result of in any other case it means he’s actually offered her on the thought he’s the MVP within the relationship and she or he’s simply fortunate to be alongside for the journey. And if that’s true, it’s actually unhappy.
What do YOU suppose, Perezcious relationship specialists??
