Known as one of the greatest gymnasts ever, Biles often attracts attention and occasionally stirs controversy among conservative circles. The backlash began when her husband, Jonathan Owens, shared a photo on Instagram wearing Biles&#8217; gold medals around his neck while posing with her. This led to a wave of criticism from some of Biles&#8217; supporters and other social media users who accused Owens of trying to take credit for his wife&#8217;s achievements.<\/p>\n<p>Many critics argued that Owens, who plays safety for the NFL&#8217;s Chicago Bears when not supporting Biles, should not be wearing the medals at all. Social media influencer Kiera Breaugh posted a video criticizing him that garnered nearly half a million likes and thousands of comments. However, one notable commenter was Biles herself, who did not appreciate the negativity directed at her husband. She responded by saying, \u201cCrazy thing is, I put my medal on every single one of my family members and took pictures.
