And yet as society strives to shift towards always being kind to others, I\u2019m left wondering how and why some people can\u2019t help but belittle and point out the flaws in others.\n\n\n\n

I should clarify that I\u2019m not talking about online users necessarily saying tasteless things about Biles\u2019s performances as a gymnast \u2013 though if you look hard enough you\u2019ll likely find that too, in spite of her obvious greatness.\n\n\n\n

No, I\u2019m talking about certain comments left on the pictures from a photoshoot after her courthouse wedding to NFL star Jonathan Owens last year.\n\n\n\n

Biles and Owens met via a dating site in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and by 2022 the pair had become engaged to one another.\n\n\n\n

It was over a year later that the new \u2018IT\u2019 couple finally got to tie the knot, and it was a simple affair, with just the two of them and a judge in attendance. Biles and Owen explained that they were planning a more extravagant destination wedding, but wanted to get officially married in the US first.\n\n\n\n

As with most newlyweds, they were quick to share photos from their special day; Biles reportedly wore a white tiered midi dress worth just $120 and shoes that cost $35, which she bought on sale.\n\n\n\n

But while some people praised Biles for her outfit \u2013 the gymnast admitted she ordered everything the week of, from her dress, shoes, wedding bands, and even her bouquet \u2013 there were others who took it upon themselves to criticize her.\n\n\n\n

As per reports, now-deleted tweets claimed at the time that Biles\u2019 hair looked \u201cunkempt\u201d in the photos, while others said she \u201cshould\u2019ve laid the edges\u201d and \u201ccould\u2019ve at least gotten a lace in front.\u201d\n\n\n\n

What followed was a debate between her fans and her detractors, with Biles herself eventually weighing in on the matter.\n\n\n\n

Taking to X, the superstar athlete tweeted: \u201cI think they also forget I live in HOUSTON TEXAS & I sweat those out!! Soon as we stepped outside for pics. But they can keep complaining idc idc idc.\u201d\n\n\n\n

In May 2023, Biles and Owens said their vows in Cabo, Mexico, in front of 144 guests at their more-extensively-planned destination wedding.\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know about you, but I think Biles looked amazing in her wedding photos! Let us know your thoughts in the comments box.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
