“I was in the room. I was sitting on the chair. You just couldn’t see me on the videos I was there for the whole entire video,” Biles said, noting that she was “feeling great” in the moment and thought nothing of his remarks.
“I was like, ‘My man just killed that,’” she joked of how he handled his interview.
However, Biles soon found out that the public felt differently, with many reaching out to her to tell her so.
“So, whenever he did that interview, I thought everything was OK. And then I go on Twitter, and everybody’s like, divorce this man, he’s mean. I’m like, he’s the sweetest. He praises the ground that I walk on. Truly, I’ve never met a man like him,” she said.
As for him supposedly not calling her a “catch,” Biles says that fans got it wrong and misinterpreted his words. “He never said I wasn’t a catch. He said he was a catch because he is,” she explained. “I’ve never met a man like him. A lot of people that meet him are like, ‘Oh my gosh, I want a man like that,’” she said, adding that Owens is “so nice” and “a lot” of girls he interacts with at the gym “love him.”
Biles said that’s why she couldn’t understand why his comments went viral. After taking a moment to think about it, Biles said that social media users were probably “mad that he didn’t include me in the interview.”
But, she noted that it didn’t bother her to not be included in his interview because it was his time to shine.
