A troll on Twitter, who was either looking for attention or has been living under a rock for the past decade, inaccurately attempted to diss world champion gymnast Simone Biles, and she was quick to set the record straight.
The failed dig came as a response to a Tweet made by Biles in which she asked people not to dress as Jeffrey Dahmer for Halloween.
See Biles' original tweet below:
\u201cim just gon go head and say it, put the jeffrey dahmer costumes back in the closet. we ain\u2019t having it!!!!!!\u201d— Simone Biles (@Simone Biles) 1666140922

"Too bad you can't go as Olympic medal winner."
\u201c@Simone_Biles Too bad you can\u2019t go as Olympic medal winner\u201d— Simone Biles (@Simone Biles) 1666140922
Biles herself responded to the ridiculous statement:
"I have 7 Olympic medals, do your research."
"Also, the bots get on my fn nerves. Be real."
"Say it with your chest. Stop with the fake accounts."

Biles' fans were also quick to clap back at the unfortunate tweet:

\u201c@hockeyforever68 @Simone_Biles And you\u2019ve accomplished what Petey? Simone has accomplished more than you have..in & out of the gym. By the way-Simone has won FOUR GOLD medals & one bronze in Rio. And won a Silver & Bronze in Tokyo. Not to mention she\u2019s won numerous World titles. Don\u2019t hate, appreciate.\u201d— Simone Biles (@Simone Biles) 1666140922

\u201c@hockeyforever68 @Simone_Biles You're right, because that would be her in real life, not a costume.\u201d— Simone Biles (@Simone Biles) 1666140922

\u201c@hockeyforever68 @Simone_Biles You\u2019re literally tweeting that to the most decorated gymnast in US Olympic history. Man or Woman.\n\nMaybe you should just stick to hockey.\u201d— Simone Biles (@Simone Biles) 1666140922
For the record, Biles has seven Olympic medals: five from the Rio Olympics in 2016 and two more from the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
