“Oop I’ve been blocked,” the 27-year-old gymnastic star wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. Her tweet seemingly hinted at her former teammate having blocked her.
Although Simone didn’t explicitly name MyKayla, her fellow gymnast Jordan Chiles provided some form of confirmation.
Jordan shared a screenshot of MyKayla’s Instagram profile, showing it mysteriously devoid of posts, and captioned it, “When she blocks Simone.”

The simmering tension between Simone and MyKayla heated up last month when the latter, who snagged a silver medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, took a less-than-flattering swipe at the currentU.S. women’s gymnastics team.
The former Olympian suggested in a now-deleted video that the team did not have the right work ethic.
“Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn’t like what it used to be. Just notice like, I mean, obviously a lot of girls don’t work as hard. The girls just don’t have the work ethic,” she said in the clip that went viral last month.
Although MyKayla’s video was deleted from YouTube, the viral clip is still being widely circulated online
