In the end, Simone Biles’s post was a radical act of narrative reclamation. She refused to allow the story of her own pain to be a footnote in the sanitized obituaries of the man who inflicted it. She has ensured that his legacy will forever be entwined with the cruelty he showed her, a cruelty she was forced to carry in silence for 1,500 days. Whether this was an act of bravery or a step too far will be debated for years. But she has rewritten the rules, forcing us to confront the uncomfortable reality that sometimes, the only way to heal a wound is to show the world the scar, no matter who is made uncomfortable. And for the first time in four years, the voice defining Simone Biles’s story is her own.
