Suni Lee poured gasoline on the fire after Simone Biles fired a shot off target at a former U.S. Olympic teammate following the team's gold medal win at the Paris Olympics.

Biles posted a collage of photos on Instagram showing her and her teammates carrying the American flag across the floor to celebrate their gold medal win in the team final. In her Instagram post, Biles didn't mince words.

“Lack of talent, laziness, Olympic champions,” he wrote.

Biles appeared to respond to criticism from former U.S. Olympic gymnast MyKayla Skinner, who was part of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic team and won a silver medal on vault after replacing Biles after she left the team to deal with twisting.

Lee added his article in the comments section.

“Put your finger down if Simone Biles just killed you,” she wrote.

Ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Skinner gave his thoughts on the team.

“Other than Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth isn't what it used to be. You just have to notice that a lot of girls don't work as hard. Girls just don't have the work ethic,” Skinner said in a since-deleted YouTube video, according to the New York Post.

Skinner issued an apology for his comments earlier this month.

Biles later wrote that Skinner blocked her on Instagram and Jordan Chiles confirmed it.

McKayla Maroney joked: “There's nothing more iconic than this… She slept with someone and found out about my relationship. I feel like I need to apologize just to get my first name back.”
