Danica Patrick has made her opinion on Simone Biles extremely clear amid controversy.

The former IndyCar and NASCAR driver proudly confessed to taking the “red pill” as the racing star publicly backed political activist Riley Gaines in her ongoing feud with decorated Olympian Simone Biles over transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.

Biles and Riley Gaines, a former college swimmer who competed against Lia Thomas, have been in a feud for days after the former college swimmer’s comments over a high school softball player in Minnesota.

Patrick said Simone Biles had been ‘red pilled’ in reference to being fed the wrong information.

“This issue has a shelf life. I truly believe common sense will prevail,” Patrick said on Instagram Sunday.

“But until then, I am grateful for people like Riley Gaines who are making sure no one gets away with it. Not to mention the fact that she actually lived it.”

“Defending men in women’s sports is the woke mind virus and/or another issue that requires therapy. Either way, it is so irrational,” she added.

Biles, one of the most decorated female athletes of all time, sounded off on a right-wing influencer regarding the transgender athletes debate, and it did not go the way she thought it would.

On social media, the iconic Summer Olympics gymnast went after former Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines.

“You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!! But instead… You bully them… One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!” Biles wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The Olympic gymnast called Gaines a “bully” and said, “no one in sports is safe with you around.”

Biles doesn’t often take sides on social media, but she clearly felt that it was important to do so in this case.

Gaines dropped the latest episode of the “Gaines for Girls” podcast on OutKick and recorded the show a few hours later. She said, “In just two tweets, Simone Biles basically tarnished her reputation to anyone with a shred of honesty, to anyone with a moral compass, and to anyone with an inherent desire to protect women, to fight for equal opportunity for both men and women, especially as it pertains to sports.”

“The conclusion I’m drawing based on the response we have seen over the past 12-ish hours at this point on social media, she’s basically incinerated her legacy in just two tweets.”
