Simone Biles faced criticism after she was spotted wearing a Green Bay Packers jacket to her husband Jonathan Owens’ Chicago Bears game. Despite being warned by a friend to take off the jacket, Biles chose to keep it on, showcasing Owens’ No. 34 jersey from his time with the Packers. This decision caused a stir on social media due to the historic rivalry between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears, the team Owens currently plays for.
Fans took to social media to express their shock and disapproval of Biles’ outfit choice. Some called her actions “ridiculously unaware” and “insulting” to her husband, while others demanded that she should be stripped of her medals for supporting the Packers while cheering on the Bears. The backlash prompted a response from Biles, who remained silent on the issue but happily greeted Chicago Bears fans in a video for NBC Sports.
Despite the criticism, Biles showed confidence in her outfit by sharing it on her Instagram page. The ensemble featured the controversial Packers jacket paired with a black athletic bodysuit, a Prada bucket hat, reflective shades, and a Balenciaga purse. She completed her look with black and white Nike sneakers and captioned the post with a bear emoji, showcasing her support for the Bears. Her husband, Owens, also showed his support by commenting with blue and orange heart emojis on her post.
This incident is not the first time that Biles and Owens have faced backlash for their clothing choices. Earlier, Owens received criticism for wearing Biles’ first Olympic gold medal to an event. In response to the negative comments, Biles defended her husband and herself by calling out the haters as “miserable.” The couple, who got married in May 2023, has been no stranger to controversies surrounding their public appearances and fashion statements.
The scrutiny faced by Simone Biles for wearing a Green Bay Packers jacket to a Chicago Bears game highlights the intense scrutiny that public figures face for their clothing choices. Despite the backlash, Biles and Owens have continued to stand by their decisions, showcasing confidence in their style despite public opinion.
