00:00After breaking Olympic records and winning gold in the gymnastic team finals, Simone
00:06Biles immediately threw shade and stuck the landing, because she posted this pic on social
00:13media with the caption, lack of talent, lazy Olympic champions.
00:18Shots fired!
00:19Wait, at who though?
00:21The comment was in response to something that one of Simone's former teammates, Michaela
00:26Skinner, had said a couple of months ago on a YouTube video.
00:29But besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn't like what it used
00:37to be.
00:38Just know that girls just don't have the work ethic.
00:39Ouchie!
00:40Cause those girls just took gold and Simone quickly trolled Michaela over it.
00:45Why didn't Michaela do that?
00:46They should be thanking Michaela.
00:48Michaela was basically challenging them.
00:50There is a point there.
00:51She motivated them to go.
00:52It motivates you.
00:53She tried to walk the comments back days later and she said that they had been misinterpreted.
00:56No, but what about what Keith, sometimes Keith has a good point.
01:00No, Keith.
01:01Well, I recall one last year, but I think this time he does as well.
01:04Well, we look forward to his next good point in 2025.
01:08But the big question here is, should Simone have even reacted to it?
01:13Absolutely not.
01:14Because now the story is about that drama.
01:17She's in a moment in time when everybody is celebrating her.
01:21So lean into the celebration.
01:24She's standing up for her teammates.
01:25Fair.
01:26But her teammates were focused on more important things after they won.
01:33Well done, ladies.
01:34You've officially accomplished it all.
01:37Gold medal in trolling.
01:38Goodbye, everybody!
