She added … “Gonna hold your hand when I say this 💋 next time you wanna comment on a black girls hair. JUST DON’T.”
This isn’t the first time Simone has had to defend herself from unsolicited criticism about her hair. In fact, in her documentary, “Simone Biles: Rising,” SB reflected on how the negativity about her appearance has impacted her over the years … and stated people are “way too comfortable commenting things.”
Simone even had to defend the hairdo she wore for her wedding to NFL safety Jonathan Owens … after fans trolled her high ponytail and visible edges. As Simone put it … her wedding was in Texas, where she was bound to sweat.
