"I didn't do anything" - Simone Biles react to Twitter's blue tick confusion

Simone Biles is arguably the most popular gymnast ever. Her accomplishments in the gymnastics arena will forever be etched in the history of the sport. She hasn't been competing in competitive gymnastics due to mental health reasons.

But Simone Biles has been having the best time of her life recently. She got engaged to Houston Texans' Jonathan Owens in February 2022. A few days back, she and Jonathan Owens announced their marriage through social media posts. The news of Biles and Owens getting married has left her fans excited and extremely happy.

In a recent tweet on Twitter, she expressed her surprise regarding the blue tick on Twitter. There has been a lot of talk regarding the blue tick in recent times. Several celebrities lost their verified badges after Elon Musk decided to make the verified badge (blue tick) a paid feature.

Many have paid the required money to retain their verified badge, but an equal number of celebrities have decided the blue tick to be unnecessary. It seems Simone Biles too decided not to pay for the verified badge. But she got her blue tick without paying for it and this has left the GOAT gymnast surprised.

Posting a tweet on Twitter expressing her surprise, Simone Biles wrote,

"I woke up this morning & my check is back but I didn’t do anything ….."

In response to her tweet, one of her followers replied that everyone with over a million followers has one now. But it looks like this might be true.
