Riley Gaines talks public's reaction to Simone Biles' personal attack: 'Almost feel bad for her'

Riley Gaines opened up about Simone Biles' personal attack on social media in the latest episode of OutKick's "Gaines for Girls" podcast.

Riley Gaines suggested on Monday in a radio interview that she was stunned by the public’s response to Simone Biles’ personal attack against her.

The Olympic great launched into Gaines with a post responding to the former NCAA swimmer criticizing Minnesota softball officials for turning comments off of a post celebrating a high school’s state championship win with a transgender player on the team.

Biles called Gaines "truly sick" among other things. But the social media reaction didn’t appear to get behind the gold medalist.

"To acknowledge how the public has shifted to this, look at Simone Biles' comments section, go on Instagram, go on Twitter, go on any article that’s being posted, go on TikTok and she is getting absolutely demolished to the point where I almost feel bad for her, like I really do," Gaines said on "Clay & Buck." 

"I have read these comments, I'm like, ‘oh my gosh.’ I was prepared when I got that notification on my phone for that onslaught of hatred to come towards me. I was like, ‘Oh gosh, she’s gonna send all of her little minion people who follow her over to my page.’ That is not at all what is happening. I haven’t heard a single negative comment about myself following this interaction."
