In 2021, conservative commentator Charlie Kirk made harsh remarks about Simone Biles after she withdrew from several events at the Tokyo Olympics due to the “twisties” and mental‑health concerns.

What Kirk actually said

Kirk publicly called Simone Biles a “selfish sociopath” and a “shame to the country,” framing her decision to step back as weakness and arguing that she was letting the U.S. down. He also said, “We are raising a generation of weak people like Simone Biles,” which amplified criticism of his comments from fans, athletes, and mental‑health advocates.

How it played out online

  • His remarks went viral and were widely condemned as dismissive of mental‑health struggles and the real physical danger the “twisties” pose to gymnasts.
  • Years later, after Kirk’s death in 2025, AI‑generated fake posts falsely claimed Biles had written a blog “clapping back” at him; multiple fact‑checkers and news outlets confirmed that no such blog exists and that Biles has not publicly commented on his death.

If you tell me which “Kirk” you mean (e.g., Charlie Kirk vs. another public figure), I can tighten this even further to that specific person.
