AceShowbiz - Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, who recently clinched three gold medals and a silver at the Paris Games, took to TikTok to share an astonishing story about her celebratory night out in France following the sporting event.
After the closing ceremonies, she partied with her sister Adria Biles at L'Arc, a renowned Parisian nightclub. The night, filled with high spirits and camaraderie, took a wild turn when the club attempted to charge her an unbelievable $26,000 for a bottle of champagne.
"We had closing ceremonies at the Olympics. I went and after that we went out. You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne. Like, 'are you insane?' " Biles exclaimed while applying her makeup in a TikTok video.
Despite the shocking sticker price, the gymnast managed to avoid the purchase but expressed disbelief at the nerve of the club. "Obviously, I didn't buy it. But why would you even try to play me like that? Like, that's wild," she continued.
Even basking in the glory of her Olympic triumphs, Biles hinted at the downside of fame. "And I don't know, sometimes the attention, I'd rather not have it. I'd rather just be as normal as possible… I don't know," she reflected.
Photos shared by Biles show her and her sister reveling at L'Arc. One Instagram post featured a private table adorned with bottle service and personalized signs celebrating her accomplishments, reading, "Simone Biles God 4 Life" and "Gym legend." Glittering gold confetti and an American flag waving in the background marked an unforgettable celebration of her Olympic success.
Besides this eye-opening night, Biles is gearing up for a busy schedule. While she cheered for her husband Jonathan Owens at the Chicago Bears' preseason win against the Bengals, she signaled that her appearances at Bears' games might be sparse. The reason? She'll be headlining the Athleta Presents Gold Over America Tour, a nationwide showcase of gymnastics excellence.
"I'm not sure how many games I'll be able to make because in a few weeks we go on tour," Biles shared. The tour boasts 32 stops and promises to deliver "jaw-dropping athletic brilliance and high-energy choreography coupled with inspirational messages of hope, strength, resilience, and determination." Gymnastics luminaries Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles, among others, will join Biles in inspiring audiences this fall.
