Summary
Simone Biles replied to Instagram users who mocked her vacation photos, saying a serious medical emergency a little over two weeks earlier had left her healing and reassessing life.
In one response, Biles said the trip was part of her recovery; in another, she pushed back at criticism over drinking by noting the drink could have been non-alcoholic.
A third reply added a concrete detail she had not previously shared publicly: "Two weeks bedrest."
Biles first disclosed the episode on June 6, calling it one of the scariest experiences of her life and saying she was not yet ready to explain what happened.
