Back in December, Owens stirred up controversy during a joint podcast with Biles when he seemingly belittled her achievements. Admitting he didn't recognize her at the start of their relationship, he raised eyebrows by implying he was the one to be pursued, rather than acknowledging Biles' remarkable accomplishment as a Gold Medal-winning athlete. #controversial
“It's really how she pulled me, man. That's the question,” he said. Owens’ comments sparked controversy instantly, and he receiving an outpouring amount of backlash. Many viewers deemed his comments disrespectful and self-centered. Despite this, Biles stood by her partner, appearing unfazed by the criticism. However, she chose not to discuss the true impact of the story until recently. #holdingitdown

“I thought everything was OK, and then I go on Twitter and everybody’s like, ‘Divorce this man. He’s mean!'” Biles expressed. That really hurt that they were talking about my husband like that. For me, it’s like, talk about me all you want, but don’t come for my family, never.”
Biles reiterated she did not find Owens' comments offensive, and that he’s a supportive and kind husband. “He said he was a catch… Because he is! I’ve never met a man like him... He’s the sweetest. He praises the ground that I walk on.”
Despite the seemingly positive comments in support of Biles, she couldn't help but feel hurt by the influx of unsolicited, and in her opinion, inaccurate feedback about her marriage. Reflecting on the experience, she shared, “I thought it was hilarious at first and then it hurt my feelings,” she said. “One night I broke down and I’m like, ‘Why are you guys talking about my husband like this? You don’t know him. You don’t know who he is and if anybody’s met him, you know he’s the sweetest guy, will do anything for anybody.’”
That's what we like to hear!
