Gymnast Simone Biles has slammed cruel trolls who criticized her appearance on her wedding day.
After announcing their engagement last year, the gymnast and NFL safety Jonathan Owens just tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on Sunday.
The 26-year-old took to Instagram and shared some photos from their big day, captioning the images: “I do. Officially Owens.”
Owens also shared more photos and wrote: “My person, forever,” along with red heart and ring emojis. He also added the hashtags #TheOwens and #ItsOfficial.
Simone shocked her followers with her four-tied wedding dress worth only $120. She matched her gown with Pretty Little Thing sandals and kept her hair pulled back into a ponytail to highlight her face.
But her appearance was quickly criticized by cruel strolls who said that the Olympian should have done something more with her tresses, with one person writing: “Her hair literally looks a mess and you all know that. Y’all be tryne be fake positive so bad.”
Fans were quick to defend Biles, with one tweeting: “So nasty to see how many Black women are coming at Simone Biles’ hair in her wedding photos. There’s nothing wrong with her hair. It’s her natural hair & it looks healthy. I remember folks did the same thing to Gabby Douglas years ago… I guess some things never change…”
Another said: “Imagine sitting on your a** criticizing Simone Biles. Simone is a history maker, Olympian, amazing woman, entrepreneur, beautiful woman, a beautiful soul… and all you can say is ‘she need to do her hair.’ Y’all are nasty as f***.”
And now, Biles has spoken out and slammed her haters.
Taking to Twitter, the gold-medalist said: “I think they also forget I live in HOUSTON TEXAS & I sweat those out!! Soon as we stepped outside for pics but they can keep complaining idc idc idc.”

Crabs in a barrel! Will we ever get beyond that? Why can’t we just love, be proud and appreciate each other? She was absolutely beautiful!
She looks beautiful and comfortable..I love her dress
Good for her. I hate how everyone thinks every hair has to be in place all the time. Lord knows I’m sick on the pulled to the front glued down edges that the girls/ladies are doing now. You look beautiful, congratulations on you wedding.
Simone keep doing you. Haters will be haters no matter what you do. As long as you and your husband are happy that all that matter. Congratulations to both of you. Shut them down.
Gorgeous, beautiful and radian, God bless this union.
Gorgeous, beautiful, and radiant, God bless this union
Simone is a beautiful woman and anyone who says otherwise is really just a jealous, nasty person with nothing but hate in their lives!
I think Simone looked very cute and as long as she and her husband were happy the naysayers don’t count.Sounds like jealousy to me.Enjoy your life together
Feeling sad for naysayers. How difficult to be so unhappy and downhearted all of the time- so much so you cannot even smile for one of the sweetest persons around. May you find God’s blessing and peace.
You looked beautiful and real. All that fake sh— not necessary. Naturally beautiful. God bless you and your marriage.
Everybody don’t have to have a glammed up wedding!! I think she’s beautiful if her HUSBAND didn’t complain who are you to through your two cents in it unless you paying for it! MRS. OWENS DO YOU THE WAY YOU WANTED IT DONE!! Nothings wrong with anything about her. Hair, dress, shoes and most of all ” That lovely happy smile” from the both of them are beautiful!!!
I love the simplicity of her look. It showed that she was happy. The look was casual yet elegantly simple.
Sadly there will always be haters sitting home with a house full of kids living on assistance. It’s always easy to hide behind social media with
negative comments.
Congratulations Simone!!! You were and are a Beautiful Bride. Be Happy!
Come on people there’s absolutely nothing wrong with her hair are her dress, they both look fabulous and I wish them a wonderful life together, congratulations 🥂🎊
