Markle herself is alleged to have complained about Morgan\u2019s statements.<\/p>\n<p>Keilar then blasted Fox News radio host Doug Gottlieb, who compared Biles\u2019 exit from the Olympics to LeBron James dropping out of a game at a crucial moment. Gottlieb\u2019s words, Keilar contended, were an attack on those who struggle with mental health issues, writ large.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re sending a message to people who are struggling, that if they\u2019re really tough, they won\u2019t prioritize their mental health,\u201d Keilar said.<\/p>\n<p>Biles\u2019 decision to drop out of Tuesday\u2019s team event proved controversial, but her American teammate, Suni Lee, took the gold home on Thursday night with a decisive win in the women\u2019s all-around. Biles has not yet said whether she will compete in this weekend\u2019s individual gymnastics events, though it\u2019s not likely.<\/p>\n<p>Biles defended herself from critics on Friday, posting a shocking video of her attempting a complicated maneuver on the uneven bars and crashing to the mat below.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiles, who has stated that the reason she withdrew was that she was suffering from the \u201ctwisties,\u201d which causes gymnasts and divers to feel they are lost in the air,\u201d the Daily Wire reported, \u201caddressed her critics by writing on the first video, which showed her landing on her back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor anyone saying I quit. I didn\u2019t quit, my mind and body are simply not in sync. As you can see. I don\u2019t think you realize how hard this is on hard\/competition surface,\u201d Biles wrote. \u201cNor do I have to explain why I put health first. Physical health is mental health. I\u2019m supposed to do 1 \u00bd more twists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlmost there but not quite,\u201d Biles wrote on a second video, which showed her attempting the same maneuver and this time flying off early but landing on her feet. \u201cStill have \u00bd twist to go. No, this was not happening before I left the USA. It randomly started happening after prelims competition the VERY next morning. By that time NO an alternate was not allowed to be placed in my position for you \u2018know it alls.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have 4 on a team for a reason,\u201d Biles concluded. \u201cI chose to not continue competition in jeopardizing losing a medal (of any color) for the girls\/US. Also for my own safety and health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
