Simone Biles’ Struggling Birth Mom Says She Will ‘Accept Her Help,’ But The Olympian Hasn’t Offered Any
Simone Biles‘ luxury lifestyle is unlike that of her birth mom, Shannon Biles, who is seemingly struggling to make ends meet at the Olympian’s birthplace of Columbus, Ohio.
The gymnast has been estranged from Shannon, who abandoned her daughter during childhood because of her addiction issues.
In a new interview, Shannon Biles explained the reasons for abandoning her famous daughter and pleaded for forgiveness
In a recent conversation with the Daily Mail, Shannon explained why she had to give up Simone and her other children at the time she was battling with drug and alcohol addiction.
“It was hard to give up my kids, but I had to do what I had to do. I wasn’t able to care for them. I was still using, and [my father] didn’t want me coming in and out of their lives when I wasn’t right,” she told the news outlet.
She also expressed sadness about not participating in major events in Simone’s life, like her 2023 wedding to NFL player Jonathan Owens.
Shannon said, “I would like to make amends with Simone personally – I’m just waiting for her and [her younger sister] Adria. I speak to Adria more than I speak to Simone. I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move forward? Don’t judge me on my past. Let’s move forward.”
“I’m waiting for the opportunity but I’m waiting on her to be able to come to me. Let’s sit down. I just have to be patient,” she added.
