    Simone Biles can't hear the haters. The gymnast took to Instagram to mark one month after she came home from the Tokyo Olympics as one of the most decorated gymnasts ever.

    Viola Davis cheered Biles on, commenting, "Woooooooohoooooo!!!!!!!!" while Beanie Feldstein wrote, "you are the most remarkable human ever to exist." Fellow Team USA gymnast Jordan Chiles said, "Preach! Say it louder for the people in the back."

    Since Biles arrived home from Tokyo, she has also enjoyed some downtime with her boyfriend Jonathan Owens, jetted off on a dreamy Cabo vacation with her pals, and made some important political statements. A queen, as per.
