00:00 One night I got broke, I broke down.

00:01 That really hurt that they were talking

00:03 about my husband like that.

00:04 Because for me, it's like, talk about me all you want,

00:08 but don't come for my family, never.

00:11 Simone Biles speaking out months

00:13 after her husband's viral interview.

00:15 I always say we the man that catch man,

00:17 I always say we the catch man.

00:19 The Olympian sits down with Alex Cooper

00:20 on the Call Her Daddy podcast,

00:22 and recalls the backlash her husband,

00:24 NFL pro Jonathan Owen's face after making these comments.

00:28 How in the hell did you pull Simone Biles?

00:32 (laughing)

00:33 You mean, really, how she pull me, man?

00:35 That's the question.

00:36 Oh Lord Jesus.

00:37 I always say we the man that catch.

00:38 Last December, Jonathan's interview

00:40 on the Pivot podcast made waves online.

00:43 Why?

00:44 Well, the football player said he was the catch

00:46 in his relationship with Simone,

00:48 the most decorated gymnast in history,

00:50 and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

00:53 I guess sharing it is just a part of my story.

00:56 Even though the internet was big mad,

00:58 Simone wasn't bothered.

01:00 In fact, she defends her husband's comments.

01:02 He never said I wasn't a catch,

01:04 he said he was a catch, because he is.

01:06 I've never met a man like him.

01:07 A lot of people that meet him are like,

01:09 oh my gosh, I want a man like that.

01:12 Simone adds she was there when he taped the interview,

01:14 and laughed along with her man.

01:16 I was in the room.

01:18 I was sitting on the chair,

01:20 you just couldn't see me on the videos.

01:22 And you were feeling great?

01:23 I was feeling great.

01:24 I was like, my man just killed that.

01:28 Simone left feeling great,

01:29 but things took a turn when fans reacted negatively online.

01:33 I thought everything was okay.

01:35 I'm dying to hear it.

01:36 And then I go on Twitter,

01:38 and everybody's like, divorce this man, he's mean.

01:41 And I'm like, he's the sweetest.

01:43 He like, praises the ground that I walk on.

01:46 Like, truly, I've never met a man like him.

01:48 The criticism got so bad,

01:50 it took a toll on Simone's mental health.

01:53 People were saying, divorce him, divorce him.

01:55 I thought it was hilarious at first,

01:57 and then they hurt my feelings.

01:59 And then like, one night I broke down,

02:01 and I'm like, why are you guys talking

02:02 about my husband like this?

02:04 Like, you don't know him, you don't know who he is,

02:07 and if anybody's met him, they know he's the sweetest guy

02:09 and will do anything for anybody.

02:11 That really hurt that they were talking

02:12 about my husband like that.

02:14 Simone and Jonathan met back in 2020

02:16 after matching on the dating app, Aria.

02:18 Jonathan crediting Simone with making the first move.

02:22 Because if she wouldn't have messaged me,

02:23 chances are, like, I probably wouldn't have.

02:26 I probably would've just, mine would've went somewhere else.

02:28 We matched, but I was the first to message.

02:30 Yeah, you messaged me, she messaged, she wasn't scared.

02:33 I know what I like, and I know what I want.

02:35 They tied the knot in 2023

02:37 in a private city hall ceremony in Texas.

02:39 And I believe everything happens for a reason.

02:41 Simone is one proud wifey,

02:43 and makes it clear no one messes with her man.

02:46 For me, it's like, talk about me all you want,

02:50 but don't come for my family.

02:51 Never.
