"I want to come to this internet and defend my mom," Micah said at the beginning of her TikTok, obtained by TNT. "Because she might not be everything we expected her to be, but at the end of the day, she's still a work in progress, and we give her that."
She went on, "Simone chose not to have a relationship with my mom, and that's fine, that was her choice," noting that she herself didn't have a close connection with their mother until she was 17.
Micah added: "It was on and off because she was still dealing with what she was dealing with at the time. But I'm not going to let you all get on this internet and bash my mom, or say anything bad, or anything of that sort because she's not a bad person. She's done nothing to Simone. Life happened to her."
Shanon Biles expressed her desire to reunite with her famous daughter, Simone, claiming she has her number but won't use it since she wants Simone to get in touch with her if that's what she really wants.
Micah Biles claims she and sister Simone Biles have their 'own problems'
Micah Biles made a passing allusion to her strained connection with Simone Biles when she observed that the elite athlete appeared to be unwilling to pursue a relationship with her.
According to Micah, the Biles siblings are said to be divided into three sets: Ashley, the oldest, has a father of her own. Kevin Clemons, the father of Tevin, Simone, and Adria, is likewise eager to get back together with Simone.
Taron, Shania, Micah, and Mariah Biles-Walker are all from separate fathers, as per The Blast.
Simone is still in contact with her younger sister Adria and her elder siblings but Micah hinted that she and Simone were estranged.
"I have my own problems with Simone, but I'm not going to get on this internet and do too much on that," Micah said.
She added, "Because I already tried, and y'all tried to fake a** bash me for that. So I'm not going to do that because y'all [are] trying to make it seem like, 'Oh, I'm just jealous' or whatever. But at the end of the day, I just wanted my sister."
