Breaking: In September 2025, online users claimed seven-time, Olympic gold-medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles posted a blog entry responding to conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s past remarks about her after his fatal shooting that month…

However, searches of Bing, DuckDuckGo and Google located no news media outlets confirming Biles made any recent statements about Kirk. A check of her Facebook, Instagram and X accounts showed she did not publish a post, a blog post or other comments about Kirk, either.

This rumor — a made-up claim — appeared in a popular post (archived) on a Facebook page with a “page transparency” tab revealing its owners as largely residing in Vietnam. That Facebook page’s post featured an external link to an advertisement-filled, artificial intelligence-generated blog article, where its authors earned ad revenue based on people reading their fabricated story.

Kirk, 31, was fatally shot on Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, during his “The American Comeback Tour.” Prosecutors have since charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with multiple crimes, including aggravated murder, in the killing of the Turning Point USA co-founder.

This article first lays out Kirk’s genuine past remarks about Biles — a topic for which Snopes readers searched in September — then provides additional details about the more recent rumor, including information about the claim’s Vietnamese and AI-generated origins.

What Kirk said about Biles in 2021

In July 2021, Kirk made remarks about Biles on his internet-hosted “The Charlie Kirk Show.” During his show, he provided his thoughts about the breaking news of Biles withdrawing from participating in further competition during the COVID-delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

At the time, The Associated Press (AP) and ESPN reported about Biles’ withdrawing for mental health reasons. The AP and ESPN subsequently published articles about her experiencing the “twisties” — the term for a gymnast’s sudden mental inability to compete with the requisite spins for a particular maneuver.

On Kirk’s July 27, 2021, show, he began his segment about Biles by saying he didn’t know whether anyone had ever sexually assaulted her, more than three years after Biles said ex-U.S. Olympic gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar had molested her. Judges sentenced Nassar to jail for what essentially amounted to a life sentence following allegations of sexually assaulting nearly 160 victims. Kirk said:

So, Simone Biles. I don’t know her politics. I don’t. I just know that she’s being shown on television a lot. I don’t know if she was ever sexually assaulted or abused. So, I don’t, I don’t know what she’s been through. I seriously, I mean that sincerely. However, I’m going to say this. Don’t show up to the Olympics and compete if you’re not ready for the big moments.

Kirk then railed against Biles for withdrawing from further competition, calling her “you selfish sociopath,” “weak,” “very selfish,” “immature,” “a shame to the country,” “totally a sociopath, of course she’s a sociopath” and “a disgrace.” Kirk’s comments about Biles begin at the 54:03 mark in the full episode, available on Rumble.com.

On the July 28 episode, Kirk talked further about Biles withdrawing, including playing video of her answering questions at a news conference. During her answers, she made many remarks, including for example mentioning “not having fun,” saying she didn’t want to get injured and being “stressed out.” Kirk then claimed she wanted “glory without bravery” and “recognition and adoration without courage,” and said she had a “smug, condescending, flippant attitude.”

Kirk’s remarks about Biles in June 2025
Nearly four years later, on June 7, 2025, Kirk responded (archived) to one of Biles’ posts (archived), where she had replied to former University of Kentucky swimmer-turned-anti-transgender athlete activist Riley Gaines regarding a separate matter. Kirk said to Biles, “Unlike you, Riley never quit when things got hard.”

On Kirk’s June 9 show, while discussing the posts with Gaines, he called Biles a “choke artist,” “a basket case” and said she “will now be known as a mockery.” While discussing Biles’ acceptance of transgender-identifying people, Kirk remarked about transgender minor girl athletes showering in girl’s restrooms, and asked of Biles, “Is she a pervert or something?”

Biles later posted (archived) her firm commitment to equity and inclusivity, and apologized to Gaines for becoming personal in her remarks. A search of X did not find any posts in which Biles ever directly talked to Kirk.

More information about the false rumor

Users shared the rumor about Biles allegedly responding to Kirk on several social media platforms, including Bluesky (archived), Facebook, Instagram, Threads (archived).

A user managing The World Daily — the aforementioned Facebook page hosting the
popular post and sharing the false rumor about Biles and Kirk — posted (archived) the story on Sept. 17. The post, receiving over 198,000 reactions, 42,300 comments and 31,000 shares, said Biles responded after Kirk’s death regarding comments he made about her from 2021:

The post featured a link in both the post and the comments leading to an advertisement-filled article hosted on the topnewsaz.com website. The story falsely claimed Biles “dropped a lengthy, emotionally-charged blog post.”

The article later noted “the full text is still being dissected,” but that it “details the specific, lasting damage that Kirk’s public condemnation caused, painting a vivid picture of the personal hell she and her family endured while she was being vilified as a national pariah.”

The story further claimed Biles’ alleged post “shares behind-the-scenes details of sleepless nights, torrents of online hate fueled by his rhetoric and the crushing weight of being told she had let everyone down.”

One or more users at least partially generated the article with an artificial-intelligence (AI) tool, as evidenced by the wording of various parts of the story. For example, the end of the article featured forward-thinking language attempting to wrap the story into a neat bow — one of many signs of AI-generated text. At least one Facebook post also featured an AI-generated
video, bringing to life two different still photos of Biles and Kirk.

The World Daily Facebook page’s “page transparency” tab displayed most of its managers as residing in Vietnam — a country repeatedly appearing in research of fabricated, AI-generated stories posted by users attempting to capitalize on major world events and tragedies, including the July 2025 Texas flash floods.
