Angel Reese shared fiery two-word response to Simone Biles’ shading MyKayla Skinner
WNBA superstar Angel Reese has backed Simone Biles in her feud with ex-Team USA gymnastics Olympian MyKayla Skinner following the 27-year-old’s double-gold start to Paris
After leading Team USA to gold in the artistic gymnastics all-round team final on Tuesday, Simone Biles posted the clapback heard around the world with her six-word roasting of former Olympic teammate MyKayla Skinner.
Biles’ mic-drop Instagram caption currently has 3.5 million likes, 45.2K comments and 150 shares. And it’s not just her millions of fans and her Olympic teammates who approved of Biles’ fiery comeback at Skinner, plenty of celebrities had Biles’ back as well including WNBA rookie phenom Angel Reese.
The 22-year-old Chicago Sky forward commented on Biles’ post late Wednesday night with two simple words: “Clock it,” and many were quick to applaud Reese’s support of Biles (her reply has been liked more than 2,200 times).

In addition to Reese, several other celebrities commented their support of Biles, including two-time Olympic medal-winning figure skater Michelle Kwan commented “four letter word for all the haters — G.O.A.T.!!! Bravo,” former “The Vampire Diaries” star Kat Graham replied “Lmao not this caption. Best team in the world baaaby!,” and Golden Globe-award winning actress Halle Berry posted a simple, tef effective “Boom!!”
Although she since recanted her remarks in which she stated the rest of the Team USA gymnasts weren’t as talented nor worked as hard as Biles, Skinner surely is regretting her ill-advised comments after Biles made her famous, and not in a good way.
