Simone Biles had the best response when someone accused her of being a bad role model

Haaaardly.

SIMONE BILES: QUEEN of the USA’s all-conquering Olympic gymnast team (with four gold medals and a bronze last summer) and recently a contestant on Dancing With The Stars.

And it was on that show that she delivered a great line when the presenter asked why she wasn’t smiling.

Over the weekend, she was having a drink at the beach and posted this picture to Instagram

“Resting beach face.”

Nice.

A commenter on Instagram had seen enough relaxing for one day though – and she laid into Simone for partying too much since the Olympics and called her a #suckyassrolemodel

Eh, grand.

Simone wasn’t letting that one slide by – and her response was concise and perfectly delivered

Probably not the best idea to come at someone who’s won FIVE OLYMPIC MEDALS at the age of 20.

It was no contest:

talk to me when you train for 14 years and earn 5 Olympic Medals. I think kids would say otherwise. My year off is well deserved!
Take a couple of seats.

Simone shared her response on Twitter: “Comments like this have me shook”

You’d be right to be shook – you can’t even have a holiday after 14 years of training and objective world class success without people having a go.

Take a couple of seats
