MyKayla Skinner's husband weighs in on Simone Biles rivalry after she publicly begged Olympics star to end their bitter feud

MyKayla Skinner's husband called the former gymnast the 'strongest person' after she begged Team USA superstar Simone Biles to end their feud. 

Jonas Harmer chimed in after his wife acknowledged her since-deleted comments criticizing the American gymnastics team, who won gold at the 2024 Olympics. 

'Proud of you for apologizing when you did, staying quiet when you did, and now standing up for yourself,' Harmer wrote in the comments section of Skinner's Instagram post on Tuesday. 

'You're the strongest person I know!' he added. 

Harmer wed the 2020 Olympic vault silver medalist in 2019 and the pair welcomed a daughter in September 2023.

In the social media upload, Skinner pleaded with Biles, her former teammate, to ask her followers to stop sending her death threats. 

'I sincerely hoped that this topic wouldn't have to be revisited, but unfortunately things have really gotten out of hand lately,' a visibly emotional Skinner said on Instagram. 

'Why I'm here is because four weeks ago, I made a comment about work ethic and what seems to be taking place with the rising generation,' she went on. 

'To be totally clear, I take 100 percent for poorly articulating the point I was trying to make. The last thing I wanted was to cause harm or offend our US Olympic Team.' 

In her original video, she dragged Biles' teammates Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, Suni Lee and Healy Rivera.

'Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn't like what it used to be,' the 27-year-old said on YouTube. 

Skinner has since asked Biles to tell online trolls to stop after receiving death threats

She later clarified, 'I know these women are incredible - the very best of the best. And almost all of them are my former teammates, who I have enjoyed very much cheering on the last few years.'

She went on, 'I posted a video apology on Instagram and I followed up with a written apology and I sent individual messages to each of the women on the team. Only Simone had responded, and she told me that she was proud of me.'

However, the feud came to a head after the team's gold medal-winning performance last week. 

Biles posted a photo of the squad after finishing first, alongside the caption, 'lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions.'

She even doubled down on her decision to call out Skinner.

'It's important because you have to teach them to use their voices,' Biles told People, referencing her younger teammates. 'And if not, you're a voice for the voiceless, which is okay.'

She went on, 'I just felt like it was right in that moment to stand up for them, because they're so young and they haven't fully stood in their power yet.'
