Simone posted a video explaining that, due to the intense heat, her hair, which was styled when she boarded the bus, got messy by the time she arrived. Despite this, her message is about focusing on her athletic accomplishments rather than her appearance.
Many comments online reflected a mix of support and criticism. Some people defended Simone, pointing out that she’s performing incredible feats and that her hair getting messy is a non-issue. Others criticized her stylist or suggested that Simone’s messy hair was a deliberate choice, which sparked more debate.
It’s worth noting that similar criticisms were aimed at Gabby Douglas in the past, and it seems like a recurring issue tied to biases against different hair textures. Despite the negativity, Simone’s record is unparalleled—she now has more Olympic medals than any other American gymnast.
Moving on to another topic, there’s some juicy tea regarding Phaedra Parks from Married to Medicine. Reports suggest she left the show due to a fallout with Dr. Heavenly Kimes, especially after Dr. Heavenly allegedly invited Apollo Nida and his wife on a trip—Apollo being the ex who had a controversial past. Dr. Heavenly has commented on the situation, acknowledging that while parts of the rumor are true, she can’t fully disclose the details just yet.
s for Phaedra, she might return to Real Housewives of Atlanta, leaving Married to Medicine behind. There are speculations that her exit was influenced by the drama surrounding Apollo and Dr. Heavenly, but nothing is confirmed until the next season airs.
Lastly, I want to share some sad news: Erica Ash, the talented actress and comedian, has passed away at 46. Known for her roles in Survivor’s Remorse, Mad TV, and Real Husbands of Hollywood, Erica’s death followed a long battle with cancer. Her family has requested donations to breast cancer charities in her honor. Erica’s presence will be deeply missed, and her contributions to entertainment will always be remembered.
