A video surfaced in June 2024 of MyKayla claiming that current gymnasts lack “talent” and “work ethic” in comparison to when she trained under former Team USA coach Márta Károlyi. Shortly thereafter, Simone seemingly shaded MyKayla’s comment by joking that the 2024 Paris Olympic team lacks talent and is “lazy.” In response, MyKayla blocked Simone on Instagram.
