I AGREE WITH HER that her father had no right to paint this horrible picture of her to make himself the REAL hero! There is more to her story, for I have heard it. Mr. Biles was not the angel that he is coming across as. This could be debatable, but he continues his defaming ways even to the media! She has gotten on with her life years ago, AND THE FATHER STILL TALKS ABOUT HER DRUG ABUSE? The past is the past, so what about his abuse of his daughter. He did not tell the media what he did to his daughter, why?

I love the way you explain this. Even though, as an ex addict myself that has been clean from drugs for many many years I had an opinion about this. Now Simone Biles, Mother and I share common grounds. That is the abuse of our fathers, and what they’ve done to us. However, as an addict, we cant expect once the children, gain fame and fortune, for us to be able to come around and they welcome us with huge open arms. No, there is much work that needs to be done. We made a choice we were sick. We have to remember we hurt a lot of people. We must take accountability. And if, some of the punishment be that our children don’t want to be bothered with us. We must take that in stride until they are ready to be bothered with us. Because if we truly right, the Lord will go before us, and change the hearts and minds of others. My suggestion to Simone‘s mother is to just have a seat, cheer for her baby, absolutely, and wait humbly for her to come for her. If she never comes for her, that’s part of the punishment that we have brought on ourselves. I say this very humbly.❤

Why hate on Simone's biological mother just because she had a hard life with her children? If their was no biological mother their would be no Simone Biles famous or not famous.

Typical. Everytime I see a parent with some type of dependency problem, they play the victim. She should be thanking her parents for not only adopting her child(ren), but for the great job they have done. I hope she stays sober for her own sake, and no one elses.

That’s exactly what I say. And back in the 80s I got caught up in addiction to. And I made up my mind that I would never leave my children’s side. And that I would be there no matter what. I’ve been clean now for many many many years. However, there is still a severe price to pay. And Simone‘s mother cannot think it’s OK to come around her child after she’s gained fame and fortune and get in her life. As she was struggling as an addict, what she should’ve been doing was thinking of her children above the drug. It really amazes me how people choose the substance and forget that there are consequences for the choice. There are so many people that have done well for themselves, and then the drug addicted parents come running around years later, expecting a hug and other things. My stance is that Simone Biles. Mother needs to take several seats.❤

I think it's great that Simone's mom has turned her life around and I hope that the fame of her daughter continues to strengthen and encourage her mom to never slip back into those past moments of her life that she regrets. My prayers go out to Simone that God builds a wall of protection around her and to keep her safe from all the wolves out there and for Simone's mom that God continue to strengthen and keep her on the right path. In conclusion, God bless them all even her lovely children sitting on the couch.

omg every 3 months,what an amazing mother. shes lucky her father was there to pick up the slack and raise the young lady in a loving household

I hope that she’s still doing well and I hope that she can speak to her kids on a regular basis. I’m the child of an addict and I talk to my parent as much as I can. Their addiction is not about me…

This woman could turn her life around if she really wanted to do so. But she can't take any credit for how her children turned out when she didn't raise them. Hopefully, she will be motivated or shamed into getting it together. Were it not for the grandparents there would be no Simone Biles. Those children would be destroyed. This lady shows no tears or remorse for her addicted behavior and its consequences. Gabby Douglas' s deadbeat dad tried to show up and get a pay day out of her. She didn't fall for it. Simone and Gabby have deadbeat parents in common.

I'm glad that her mom still has some access to her daughter's life. Looks like she is trying to better her life and follows her daughter's career. I believe she really loves Simone and wishes her the best.

Be quiet Shannon Biles! Let your daughter enjoy her limelight. Learn a lesson from Oprah's biological sister. Sometimes it just best to not say anything!

Giving birth doesn't make you a mother, it's what comes after. Dissappear.

My message to you, as an ex addict myself. Leave her alone. Even though you’ve cleaned yourself up and you’ve gotten yourself together, it’s far too late for you to come into her life at this present time claiming your motherhood. You’re not her mother. There was a time when she really needed you and you chose to do the drugs over her. Even though I do not doubt that you love her. Leave her alone. Do not try to gain from her or share her spotlight. This is one woman who suffered just like you did in the 80s getting caught up. I’ve been clean for many many many years. And I’ve always stayed in my children’s lives, no matter how rough it was for me. however, we cannot expect after they have gained fame and fortune for us to come running around them, expecting them to uphold us with open arms. The best thing you can do for yourself is sit down somewhere. And leave her alone!

who is this ladys mother, who is simones real grandmother , who is Ron's 1st wife and why is everybody else info so available besides hers & Simone's biological father. Something is not adding up because i can understand the bio father lack of info but whats up with Rons 1st wife? is she dead? was she murdered ? did she also become a addict leaving Ron to be a single parent also influencing Simones mother to experiment with drugs......ITS CREEPY THAT NO 1 SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE GRANDMOTHER AND SHE SEEMS TO BE THE LINCHPIN THAT BROKE AND THINGS FEEL APART.

Maturity would refrain from defending mistakes and simply show the world sober living by praising others who picked up the pieces the addict shattered or continues to shatter. Sadly, we would have probably never heard of Simone Biles if left in the hands of the addict. So, praise and only praise should be exclaimed despite the mention of “past” choices that truly influenced and altered the innocent lives of those formed in your womb.

It’s your past but not ur kids past. They will FOREVER deal with the trauma that losing a mother brings. It’s the most primal wound a child can have. Own what u did and don’t make excuses ma’am. When u do it only diminishes your children’s memories and feelings. Your memory of that time is of an addicted drug addict.. Without a lot of clarity. Their memory of that time was instability, physical and emotional neglect ,hunger, loneliness, being taken into foster care, and having to adapt to being adopted. No medal will ever heal what you did to them.

Her daughters are both over the age of 18 the no longer need her guardianship. Not that she offered any to begin with though. The grandparents adopted the girls so legally she is no longer their mother only biologically. This woman has to own up to her own mistakes. I wish her no harm but she needs to accept her mistakes and repent. She needs to seek her daughters forgiveness for abandoning them and being unfit. She might never be able to build a relationship with her daughters. It might be too late. She doesn't realize she has to earn any relationship with those girls. Going on TV acting as if she is entitled to a relationship she has never earned is not going to do it. Truth is she has never been a mother to those girls and is no longer recognized as their mother.

Why make a video

you don't get second chances when you are a parent, every single decision matters, and you have to be accountable for every decision you made. Instead of trying to make excuses, and trying to make yourself look good, why don't you just make a video about how proud you are of your daughter, and how grateful you are to the people that really raised her, and really made her a good person. cause you had nothing to do with any of the good she is. You need to learn how to be humble. for as long as you were messed up, you need to be humble for twice that long.

Sorry but these comments on this post and video are very unnecessary. She was a crack addict which isn't being a criminal, its a health condition. Just like all these WHITE herion users that are being given treatment instead of jail time today. She did what was BEST for her child at that time. If she had not given her daughter up, she would not have had the opportunity to be the champion she is today. While her timing is questionable, I dont doubt she loves her child and is proud of her. Keep up the good fight and stay clean sister.

I hate it when people like this aren't there for their children, then when they become successful, particularly when that success is in the public eye, here they come out of the woodwork.

Simone's trajectory may have not been at this high level had all these events not have happened. ❤God bless you lady and I pray that you live a blessed life. Thank you for giving birth to our champion ❤

Lady, just moves on with your life, don't try to impress the world with your excuses and regrets; do your life without stepping into those who you didn't care when they were babies.

And chill putting her on KZread

It's hard to get back into the Family when your own daughter calls her Grandmother Mom and Grandfather Dad "by choice". Simone is an intelligent talented girl. She will make the smart choices. Her biological mother will unfortunately always be a criminal.

No she will always have a CRIMINAL PAST, NOT ALWAYS BE A CRIMINAL. Exactly how a corrupt cop who shoots to kill while hands are up or while choking out a suspect who can no longer breathe. "Let me just knock this incessant forever criminal off, right quick." You don't assign anyones worth but their worth to YOU. Take a goood look in the mirror, self righteous bub. #checkit

Hope she's really sober if she was never in her life thats sad

before she Simon get Olympic money who burn her...some of them are out of mine 9 months pregnant with hard labour...Simone can't pay her mum non of them be careful wat u saying saying

hey Shannon tell taron that I said hey

She may be disturbed hearing from her biological mother and that may affect her peace of mind in her career. Poor little girl.

No matter what..you gave us Simone...God chose you as the vessel..know that makes you worthy....her greatness in spite of your struggles..shows the mighty power of God. It would not be such a big deal if she came from a cookie cutters background..how could her accomplishments inspire...God will carry you both through

see you when I can!!!! ....

Miss Shannon, congratulations on beating addiction! Please shut out all of the ignorance and stupidity in the comments and life. I admire the quiet way you love your daughter and put her needs a the fore - waiting for her to be ready for a deeper connection. That must be difficult. Not everyone in the world misunderstands addiction - I am inspired by your story, and God has blessed you indeed.

Everyone's giving Simone's mother Shannon a hard time -- BUT -- if she had been given the same support, the same nurturing, Simone may've been striving to surpass Shannon's records now, instead of her own! Any of you haters ever heard of DN F' A ??? PS. think it's easy to be a drug addict? Every bit as challenging as being an Olympian.

How can anybody defame you when everything they say about you is factual?! So freaking gross.

In other words you just want to be back in your daughters life when she starts making the big bucks. Why else would you jump to the media to plead your petty case? Would you still try to be in your daughters life if she wasn't the success she is now?mmm I think not.

Why is she relevant? I'm glad that she is better but our actions have consequences. Hers is that she lost her children because of drug addiction.Her father ended up getting custody of two of her children so he can talk about her all that he wants. He was finished raising children and had to start over again because of her addiction.If you're a drug addict...get your tubes tied. Don't have children.

this shit's killing me

Shame on yu. This girl would be lost if left for you.

Parents screw up and when their child gets noticed they all of a sudden want to fix themselves and get back into their children's lives, that happened with Gabby Douglas when her dad walked out on her family when they were struggling and then all of a sudden he randomly appeared at one of her Olympic competitions when she started getting noticed, and she refused to acknowledge him...

Lady, why are u coming out now, let this young lady have a stress free days while she's competing!, and I hope to god , your not getting money to do interviews !!

TMZ sought her out asking for the interview and paid her.

What did he say? Did you go to her wedding recently?

She's only around for money. She could've been tried to build a relationship with Simone.
