Simone Biles is being asked about her near-death experience again—and this time, the answer is still the same.
Over the weekend. the Olympic gymnastics icon returned to Instagram where followers have been waiting for clarity ever since she first hinted at a frightening health scare earlier this month. Sunday brought a familiar question straight to the comments: a follower pointed out that the public still hasn’t received the update many were expecting.
“We never got the update on your near death experience.”
Simone didn’t dodge the moment, but she also didn’t give details. She responded plainly: “Not ready to talk about it just yet.”
Fans have been worried since the early-month reveal, when Simone posted a photo that appeared to show multiple hospital wristbands on her arm. In sharing it, she said the experience left her deeply shaken. Since then, the public picture of what happened remains limited.
She has posted get-well gifts and images from her hospital stay, but she has kept the specifics of the medical emergency under wraps. That’s the gap followers have been trying to fill—and why that Sunday comment landed so hard.
More recently, Simone shared social media snaps with her husband, Indianapolis Colts player Jonathan Owens, from what appeared to be a relaxing oceanside vacation. The timing has suggested that the couple is prioritizing rest and quality time after a stressful stretch.
Still, the central mystery remains: what exactly led to the near-death situation Simone described, and what she’s comfortable revealing now that the world is ready for answers.
For now, Simone is setting the boundary herself. She’ll share when she feels ready—and until then, the update fans want will have to wait.
