Simone Biles<\/strong><\/a> revealed that she received some \u201cbaby botox\u201d for her 27th birthday, but it\u2019s something she doesn\u2019t plan on doing again. The gold medal winner laughed about the results of her procedure during a \u201cGet Ready With Me\u201d video she posted to TikTok.<\/p>\n \u201cFor my 27th birthday, I got botox, like baby botox, just right here in my T-zone, and I did not like it so I haven\u2019t got it again,\u201d Simone said in the video<\/a> posted on Friday, August 2. \u201cMind you, that was back in March, but it\u2019s because I would be standing at practice and my eyebrow would be slowly going up like this.\u201d<\/p>\n The Olympic<\/a> gymnast then pulled at her eyebrow with her finger to give viewers an idea of what she dealt with after getting botox.<\/p>\n \u201cThen Zoe would be like, \u2018Simone, your eyebrow\u2019s doing it again!\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018I feel it,\u2019 but I couldn\u2019t get it back down. It would go back down in like 20 seconds, and it would randomly do that,\u201d Simone continued. \u201cI have no idea, but now, I can do all the facials. So, not doing that again.\u201d<\/p>\n The Ohio native also touched on how she hasn\u2019t \u201cdone much around the Olympic village<\/a>,\u201d and explained that it was, in part, due to her anxiety.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s because the first day I got here and got to the cafeteria, a lot of people were asking me for photos, like nonstop,\u201d Simone explained. \u201cWhenever I sat down to eat, my anxiety was so bad I was shaking, and I couldn\u2019t stop shaking.\u201d<\/p>\n Simone described the experience as \u201coverwhelming\u201d and said that she had only gone back to the cafeteria once since that first night.<\/p>\n The athlete has been open about prioritizing her mental health since she left the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021. \u200b\u200b(The event was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.) Simone later revealed she was suffering from the \u201ctwisties.\u201d<\/a> The phenomenon causes a gymnast to lose their understanding of where they are in the air and puts them at risk of injury when they land.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, July 31, Simone appeared as a guest on Hoda Kotb\u2019s<\/strong> podcast, \u201cMaking Space With Hoda Kotb<\/a>,\u201d and she explained how therapy had helped her<\/a> heal over the past three years.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always tried to stay authentic to myself, so I feel like the new me, I\u2019m a little bit older, more mature, so just being unapologetically me,\u201d Simone told Hoda, 59. \u201cI feel a lot more free, especially going to therapy and doing those sessions so that physically and mentally I feel better, and I know that\u2019s an important part of my routine. So just staying on top of that, it lightens the load a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cI think, before, I was pushing down my trauma, and now I\u2019ve learned to speak on it and kind of release that. So that\u2019s really helped me, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m doing what I\u2019m doing today.\u201d<\/p>\n Simone went on to add that people \u201cused to think of therapy as a weakness,\u201d but now she sees it as a \u201cstrength.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd if there\u2019s somebody that can help me deal with what I\u2019m going through, then that\u2019s what I need to do. And now it\u2019s a daily part of my routine,\u201d Simone concluded.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
