“I was in a predicament of dealing with the coach, who emotionally and verbally assaulted me. I was unable to speak out or make my voice known,” Chiles said.
Chiles had previously discussed the nameless abusive coach in a Facebook Watch episode of “Peace of Mind with Taraji” in November 2021.
Chiles said that her former instructor used to “call me fat.” She often made fun of her diet, saying things like “I looked like a donut.
” Chiles changed coaches in 2019 and began training at the Simone Biles family’s World Gymnastics Centre in Texas.
However, Chiles claims the medal is legally hers even though she is still in shock after losing her Olympic bronze, which she has refused to return despite the IOC’s orders.
