“Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth is not what it used to be. Obviously, realize a lot of the girls aren’t working as hard as they used to. The girls don’t have the work ethic,” Skinner said in a since-deleted YouTube video. New York Post.
Skinner apologized for his comments earlier this month.
Biles then wrote that Skinner had blocked her on Instagram, which Jordan Childs confirmed.
