Simone Biles’s birth mother publicly inquired about the gymnast’s ability to “move forward” as she discussed their strained relationship.

Shanon also stated that she would like to request forgiveness from Simone, as reported by the New York Post.

Shanon purportedly stated, “I am awaiting Simone and Adria before I can personally reconcile with her.”

“I would simply implore her for forgiveness.” Is it possible to proceed? Please refrain from evaluating me based on my past. She further stated, “Let us proceed.”
