\nSimone Biles has acknowledged she never should have competed in Tokyo. The superstar gymnast became the center of attention during the Olympics after she withdrew from several events because of her mental health. During a massive profile in The Cut, Biles admitted that she should have stopped competing a long time ago, and the abuse suffered at the hands of Larry Nassar led to her issues. Biles told The Cut the following about the past several years and her time in Tokyo: Remember when Biles pulled out of events in the Olympics and I said everyone should relax? Remember when I said that and everyone just jumped down her throat? Remember when so many Twitter tough guys all of a sudden were experts on mental health issues, sexual abuse and the Olympics? It was truly incredible. My take was by far and away the best take and Biles\u2019 comments now prove that I was right. I said if she knew there was likely going to be a problem, she never should have gone. Once she got there, if she had an issue, then she had every right in the world to do what she had to in order to take care of herself. Of course, being rational is frowned upon these days! There probably aren\u2019t a total of five other people on the planet who truly understand Biles\u2019 situation in life. She\u2019s a superstar athlete who suffered abuse at the hands of a man who was supposed to be keeping her healthy and safe. Stop and think about that for a second. Stop and think about the absurdity of that, and yet, tough guys on Twitter just seem to know more! Now, let\u2019s hope Biles can move forward in life in the best manner possible.<\/p>\n
