Simone Biles is speaking out.

The Olympian has responded to some people who are criticizing her for taking a vacation to Belize with her husband, Jonathan Owens, a little more than one week after she suffered a “serious medical emergency” that nearly killed her.

Biles received comments on a recent Instagram post questioning why she was traveling and sharing selfies so soon after the health scare. While she has not yet shared details about what happened, Biles did reply directly to several of the comments on her post.

“Almost died but look at these traveling selfies,” one fan wrote, adding three crying with laughter emoji.

“Ugh these comments make me sad. a little over two weeks ago, I experienced a serious medical emergency that could have ended very differently, and this trip has been part of allowing myself to heal & appreciate being here,” Biles replied. “I hope you understand that life changing experiences can shift your perspective. & that you’re able to extend a little more grace to others moving forward. Have a nice day!”

“Almost died but on vacation drinking??” someone else questioned.

“I don’t owe you anything but have you ever heard of non alcoholic drinks,” Biles responded.
