Mykayla Skinner asked for help directly from Simone Biles in the face of a string of cyberbullying.

Following last week's Olympic gymnastics drama, Skinner told her side of the story on Instagram on Tuesday.

In the video, the former Olympian said, "I really hoped this topic would never have to be brought up again, but unfortunately things have really gotten out of hand lately. It's one thing to disagree with me on something I said or was about to say, but it's quite another to let it devolve into cyber-bullying or worse."

She continued. 'I am sick and tired of seeing people cheer on cyberbullying that has devolved into threats of physical harm to me, my husband, and my daughter. So please, at this point, for the sake of my family, enough is enough and I want it to stop."

Skinner further admitted that his comments caused a series of controversies, explaining that he was "100 percent responsible for not expressing well what I wanted to say."

In a deleted YouTube video posted in June, Skinner said of Team USA, "Besides Simone [Biles], I feel like the talent and the depth of talent is not what it used to be. I mean, obviously, a lot of the girls aren't working as hard. I mean, obviously, a lot of the girls aren't working as hard.

This predictably caused an uproar online, with people rushing to defend Biles and to defend Hesley Rivera, Sunisa Lee, Jordan Childs, and Jade Carey. Soon after, Skinner posted a video and apology on Instagram, and in this latest post, she also claimed that she had contacted all five members of the Olympic team directly. Only Biles, she said, responded and told her he was proud of her.

However, Skinner's comments resurfaced last week when the U.S. team won gold in the women's artistic team overall in Paris, and Biles took to Instagram to post a congratulatory photo with the caption, "No talent, lazy, Olympic champion." He posted it, which was widely understood as a thinly veiled reference to Skinner's YouTube video.

Shortly thereafter, Biles tweeted, "Oops, I got blocked," which many also interpreted as a reference to Skinner.

In a new video, Skinner said, "You can imagine my surprise when I was celebrating my team's gold medal win last week and saw this brought up again by the caption of an Instagram post." [If Simone really believes that I called our team lazy and untalented, and that is really how she feels, I am truly heartbroken. But I am not just heartbroken because that is not how I feel or what I said before, I am heartbroken because Simone's latest post and others that followed it have fueled a new wave of hateful comments, DMs, articles and emails. Hate that includes death threats against me, my family, and even my agents. My family and friends do not deserve to be under concentrated fire here. They have done nothing."

Skinner ended the video with a direct appeal to his former teammate: "Dear Simone, I am asking you directly and openly to please stop this. Please ask your followers to stop." You are a wonderful champion for mental health awareness and many people need your help right now.

"We have been hurt and attacked in ways I am sure you did not intend. Your performance, your team's performance, and the Olympics in general should be a place where we support each other and elevate each other and our country."

Skinner competed in both the 2016 and 2021 Olympics with Biles.
