Simone Biles has accused a Paris nightclub of trying to charge her a staggering $26,000 for a bottle of champagne as she celebrated her Olympics success.
The Team USA gymnast was out partying with family and friends in the French capital after the Closing Ceremony brought the Games to an end.
She filmed herself dancing with her sister, Adria, at L’Arc Paris – a nightclub in the French capital’s swanky 16th arrondissement.
Biles had plenty of reasons to celebrate having once again dominated the gymnastics events with three gold medals and one silver.
But it was nearly a very expensive celebration as Biles revealed in a TikTok that she was nearly charged a huge amount for some champagne.
While not confirming it was L’Arc, the 27-year-old explained in a ‘get ready with me’ video that a nightclub tried to ‘play me’.
She said: ‘We had closing ceremonies at the Olympics. I went and after that we went out.
‘You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne. Like, are you insane?
‘Obviously, I didn’t buy it. But why would you even try to play me like that? Like, that’s wild.
‘And I don’t know, sometimes the attention, I’d rather not have it. I’d rather just be as normal as possible… I don’t know.’
Biles was slammed for wearing a controversial custom-made jacket to support her NFL husband Jonathan Owens and the Chicago Bears last week.
Biles attended the Bears’ preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Soldier Field Saturday afternoon but the Olympian committed a fashion – and football – faux pas.
She showed out in support of Owens, wearing a custom jacket with black-and-white printed images of him on it.
However, the Olympic legend made an NFL rookie error as the various snaps featured Owens in action for the Green Bay Packers – the Bears’ longstanding fierce rivals and his former team.
In addition to the photos of Owens suited up in Packers uniform, a large Green Bay logo on the shoulder pad had stood out in certain snaps and videos.
Her attempts to make a touching and supportive gesture towards Owens , landed Biles in the middle of one of the league’s fiercest rivalries and fans were far from impressed with one even claiming she should be ‘stripped of all her medals’ for her fashion fumble.
Owens played one season in Green Bay last year before making the move down Lake Michigan to Chicago earlier this year, and Biles was seen regularly rooting for him at Packers’ games last season.
Biles, who married the safety in 2023, also revealed to her adoring fans that she will not be able to attend as many of her husband’s games this season.
Just over two weeks until the 2024 season kicks off, the gymnastic icon admitted in a TikTok video that she will be too busy to cheer on her beau at Soldier Field and on the road this year due to her post-Olympic duties.
‘I don’t know how many games I’ll be able to make because in a few weeks we go on tour, and if you guys aren’t aware, it’s the Gold Over America tour. I think right now we’re doing about 32 stops,’ Biles said.
