While MyKayla Skinner remains embroiled in a social media feud over her previous comments about the US gymnastics team, her husband is showing his support.

The retired gymnast, who won a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, has been at the center of controversy after she took aim at the current group of US gymnasts. She suggested Team USA lacked depth and had a poor work ethic.

"Besides Simone [Biles], I feel like the talent and the depth just isn't like what it used to be" and "the girls just don't have the work ethic." Skinner said in a now-deleted YouTube video.

In a video posted to Instagram, Skinner apologized for her previous remarks and also called on Biles "to please put a stop" to what she described as "cyberbullying."

"Watching people cheer on the bullying which has led to threats of physical harm to me, my husband and our daughter is disgusting. So please, at this point, I am just asking for it to just stop for the sake of my family because enough is enough. So why I'm here. It's because about four weeks ago, I made a comment about work ethic and what seems to be taking place with the rising generation. To be totally clear, I take 100% responsibility for poorly articulating the point I was trying to make, and the last thing I wanted was to cause harm or offend our US Olympic team," Skinner said in the video.
