Riley Gaines defend Simone bile‘The history of sexual abuse at the hands of former American doctors and convicted child predators Larry Nassar In their debate on incorporating trans athletes into sports.
Gaines, 25, appeared on the “Stephen A. Smith Show” podcast on Tuesday, June 10, and Smith, 57, came back to Nassar on social media last week on Biles, 28, with Biles, 28, back to Nassar.
“I stick to what I said 100 percent,” Gaines said. “But let me provide some context. First, for clarity, I believe Larry Nassar is a monster who should wake up for the second time every time he wakes up for the rest of his life and rot in prison. Simone and I certainly agree there.”
In 2016, Nassar was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography, and he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 60 years in prison. Nassar has also been charged with several counts of sexual misconduct, including two counts related to girls aged 13 to 15, one count of a child under the age of 13.
During the allegations and subsequent trials, more than 60 women issued victim impact statements and more than 260 women accused of sexual abuse of layoffs. In 2018, Biles became one of the victims of Nassar.
Biles testifies in the U.S. Senate with U.S. colleagues gymnasts in 2021 Aly Raisman,,,,, Maggie Nichols and McKayla MaroneyThe FBI has investigated Nassar and therefore allowed the abuse to continue.
Gaines, now gooda video about Biles’ testimony was posted on Friday, June 6 via X: “Simone Biles must endure predatory people when other girls must endure predatory men,” attempting to confuse convicted sexual predators with young, high school inter-athletes.
Gaines told Smith that she was using her “personal experiences I could talk to” as a reason to try to compare.
“It’s more perverted than standing in the shower, completely undressing, standing on the shower head next to you as a six-foot-four man approaches you, completely bare yourself and looking at your shower?” Gaines argued. “That’s the background I’m drawing. For me, that’s sexual abuse. What my teammates and I have to go through is certainly sexual abuse.”
She added: “For clarity, I think the experiences Simone and her teammates have been through are condemnable and punishing what we face. I’m there, no doubt.”

“Whether it is rape, or not, its voyeurism, whether it is indecent exposure, or whether it is shameful when a man abuses a woman, no girl should experience it,” Gaines said.
Gaines tried to capitalize on her experiences on the Senate Judiciary Committee in June 2023, where she discussed her experiences Lia ThomasThis is the first publicly transgender female champion in the NCAA women’s department, and it’s other motivations to post a video about Biles talking about Nassar. (Gaines and Thomas are ranked fifth in the game, although Thomas won the fifth place trophy to keep the photo.)
“Her testimony was thrilled, and I was very excited about the testimony of this description,” Gaines said. “That’s what I’m coming to here: It’s easy to condemn Larry Nassar, but I believe that those who try to normalize or think it’s not a serious sexual crime against women and girls, and have men take off their clothes and shower next to women, which should be easy.”

Smith criticized Gaines for citing Nassar in a podcast on Monday, June 9, explaining why he refused to postpone this time.

“You made a very, very effective point of view,” he told Gaines. “First of all, [it’s] Your personal experience. Secondly, you are a lady. I’m not. So one of the problems I have when you talk about something that is offensive to you – especially on Capitol Hill – men are trying to tell women about their experiences. ”
Biles released MEA Culpa on Tuesday and apologized to Gaines to make things “personal”. (In a Friday article, bile called on Gaines to “bully bully his body, ironically male.”)
“My objection is to pick children in their own and harmful ways for public scrutiny,” Biles wrote through X. “Individual athletes, especially children – should never be the focus of criticism of flawed systems that they cannot control. I believe sports organizations have the responsibility to propose certain rules while supporting competition while maintaining fair competition. We all want to compete fairly on sports.
