With great fame comes great responsibility. But personalities often experience various obstacles due to their rising fame. And it is no different for one of the greates Olympians, Simone Biles.

Biles has enjoyed her fair share of popularity since her introduction to prominent global meets in 2013. As such, the gymnast has become a household name in the US.

And with increased popularity, people have started recognizing the athlete when she goes for outings. But recognition can also have an annoying aspect in a celebrity’s life, especially when one enjoys the company of family and friends.

Simone Biles on the most irritating aspect of being famous

Biles expressed something similar during a conversation with Daphne Oz after returning from the Rio Olympics. While speaking with the gymnast, Daphne inquires about the most irritating “part about being recognized.”

The host asked the question as she was aware of the problems that can ensue with fame. And as the G.O.A.T. of gymnastics, the seven-time Olympic medalist must have had multiple incidents to share from her life.

Pondering the question for a bit, Biles answered, “Sometimes. Like if I’m out to eat with my family. And eating is kind of a problem because… like I don’t understand if I’m walking on the street some people don’t say, ‘Oh hey Simone, can I have a picture?’ Until I walk into the restaurant, sit down, and get my food. Then they attack me. I’m like, ‘I was walking on the streets for minutes.’ ”

What are the gymnast’s thoughts on it?

But she understands how people must feel when they see the face of gymnastics going about her daily life in public spaces. This sentiment finds expression in what the star athlete had to say next.

“Yeah, but I mean it, I understand they just get super excited, so I don’t mind taking the time out. But like eating with my family, I feel like that’s a very special moment for all of us. But that’s about the only thing,” added the gymnast.

The athlete understands that people sometimes cannot contain the excitement when they see the G.O.A.T. sitting right across the table. However, fans must see to it that they are not infringing upon her privacy.
