Simone Biles’ birth mother begs for forgiveness over abandonment

 

 

Shanon Biles remains hopeful that one day she’ll be able to have a relationship with her daughter, seven-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles, but she said she’s leaving that up to the 27-year-old to be the one to reach out.

In a sitdown with the Daily Mail, Shanon, the biological mother of the gymnastics star, expressed hope that she would be able to one day be able to ask the Olympian for forgiveness over her past.

Shanon, 52, had given up Simone and her younger sister, Adria, to their grandfather and grandmother, Ron and Nellie Biles, when the girls were just toddlers as Shanon battled drug and alcohol addictions.

“I would like to make amends with Simone personally — I’m just waiting for her and [her younger sister] Adria,” Shanon told the Daily Mail. “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.”

The outlet published the interview with Shanon just days after the close of the Summer Olympics. Simone cemented her place as the GOAT in gymnastics by taking home three gold medals and a silver medal to increase her career medal count to 11.
