Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles issued an apology for getting “personal” with former college swimmer Riley Gaines following their explosive online spat over transgender athletes in women’s sports.

Simone Biles had criticized Riley Gaines for repeated attacks on transgender girls and young women, most of whom are minors

Biles, who blasted Gaines for calling the trans softball player a boy and told her to “bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male,” said in her apology “it didn’t help for me to get personal with Riley, which I apologize for.”
