The comment probably stung Biles just as much as the judges, who told Entertainment Tonight she fought off tears during the critique.
Simone Biles did state as much to the Dancing With The Stars judges, all of which universally criticized her for not revealing too much of her character and emotion behind her performances.
As it may sound silly for an Olympic gold medalist to get so worked up over a dance competition, it definitely makes sense to me seeing the competitor that Biles is.
Biles informed her harshest critics Julianne Hough, Erin Andrews, and Carrie Ann Inaba that she’s lived in a gym nearly two-thirds of her life and there are things she has not experienced that other girls her age have.
