Owens’ controversial comments
Earlier this week, Jonathan Owens made some comments on a podcast that proved to be controversial. In an appearance at the “The Pivot” podcast, host Channing Crowder asked Owens how he managed to pull Simone Biles, prompting Owens to reply that he didn’t know about her success before meeting her. "I'm like, 'Lemme see who this is.' I never really paid attention to gymnastics, so it piqued my curiosity," he said.
Then he said, "I always say that the men are the catch." He also revealed it was him who didn’t know if he wanted to commit to a relationship or not. “I’m like, ‘It’s kinda early.’ But you know, it happens when you least expect it. When we hung out, we just hit it off instantly. Laughed the whole night,” he said.
The comments sparked some commentary online, with many criticizing it due to Biles incredible popularity and success as an Olympic athlete. Still, Biles and Owens shared photos together, revealing that the controversy had no effect on their relationship. Owens shared a photo alongside her and wrote, “Unbothered. Just know we locked in over here.”
