Shanon, in the same interview, said how she was not allowed to talk to Simone and her siblings by Ronald. She had no other choice than to respect this decision because at that time she was battling with addiction: “When I talk to Simone, it’s a brief conversation, like, ‘I miss you, I love you, I can’t wait to see you, I’m proud of you, I’m watching. You go girl,’”
She continued:
“It’s never anything personal. I want to tell her what really happened when I was younger, but I keep on waiting for the right time.”
“I feel like I have no rights. They were raising her, working with her, doing this and that. And who am I? I’m outside looking in. Even though I’m her biological mom, I have to respect them.”
Yet, Shanon Biles made it clear that she was proud of her daughter Simone Biles and would watch all her performances on TV. As for Simone herself, she reportedly does not have many regrets over not growing up around her biological mother. In a Facebook Watch series, “Simone vs. Herself,” the gymnast said that being separated from her biological mother and adopted by her grandparents set her up “for a better route at life.”
Simone Biles’ biological father is Kelvin Clemons.
