“Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn’t what it used to be,” MyKayla Skinner remarked about Team USA heading to the Olympics. This video began circulating on July 3, 2024, and it opened a can of worms for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic vault silver medalist. The gymnastics community, including Simone Biles, wasn’t too happy about it.
Simone, the now-three-time Olympian, defending her teammates, responded, “Not everyone needs a mic and a platform.” Hours later, amid the controversy taking new twists and turns after her mic drop, Simone chose to ignore the drama and enjoy the Fourth of July celebration with Jonathan Owens.

The couple dined at Toca Madera Houston, savoring delicious margaritas and a hearty meal of steak and mac and cheese. They snapped a cute selfie, and later, Simone shared a picture of Owens looking dapper in grey tweed pants, a black T-shirt, and stylish silver jewelry. The couple enjoyed some quality time together, blissfully ignoring the growing drama surrounding MyKayla Skinner.
