Simone Biles has claimed that a nightclub in Paris tried to charge her a hefty price for a bottle of champagne after the 2024 Olympics.
The 27-year-old gymnast opened up about her night out in France – following the Olympics’ closing ceremony earlier this month – in a video posted to her TikTok on August 19. While she filmed herself putting her makeup on, she recalled her experience at the Paris nightclub.
“After [closing ceremonies] we went out,” she said. “You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne. Like are you insane?”
After noting that she “obviously didn’t buy” the champagne, she still didn’t understand why it was so expensive. “But why would you even try to play me like that? That’s wild,” she added. While Biles proceeded to apply her bronzer, she then shared her candid thoughts about being in the public eye.
