Simone Biles is accusing a Paris nightclub of charging her a staggering $26,000 for a bottle of champagne while she was celebrating her Olympic success.
The Team USA gymnast was out and about in the French capital with family and friends after the Games’ closing ceremony.
She filmed herself dancing with her sister Adria at L’Arc Paris, a nightclub in the chic 16th arrondissement of the French capital.
Biles had plenty of reason to celebrate as he once again dominated the gymnastics events with three gold medals and one silver.
But it almost turned into a very expensive party, because Biles shared on TikTok that she almost had to pay a huge amount for champagne.

Biles was spotted partying at L’Arc nightclub in Paris, but did not name the club
Although he could not confirm it was L’Arc, the 27-year-old explained in a ‘get ready with me’ video that a nightclub tried to ‘play’ him.
She said: ‘We had closing ceremonies at the Olympics. I went and then we went outside.
‘You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne. Are you crazy?
‘Of course I didn’t believe it. But why would you even try to play me like that? That’s crazy.
“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.”
Biles was criticized for wearing a controversial custom-made jacket last week to support her NFL husband Jonathan Owens and the Chicago Bears.
Biles attended the Bears’ exhibition game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Soldier Field on Saturday afternoon, but the Olympian made a fashion and football blunder.
She showed up to support Owens, wearing a special jacket featuring black-and-white images of him.

However, the Olympic legend made a rookie mistake in the NFL, as several photos showed Owens in action for the Green Bay Packers, the longtime rivals of the Bears and his former team.
In addition to the photos of Owens in a Packers uniform, the large Green Bay logo on the shoulder pad stood out in certain snapshots and videos.
Her attempts to make a touching and encouraging gesture toward Owens landed Biles in the middle of one of the fiercest rivalries in the competition. Fans were far from impressed, even claiming that she should be stripped of “all her medals” for her fashion faux pas.
Owens played one season in Green Bay last year before transferring to Chicago earlier this year. Biles was often seen cheering him on during Packers games last season.
Biles, who married the safety in 2023, also told fans that she won’t be able to attend as many of her husband’s games this season.
With just two weeks until the start of the 2024 season, the gymnastics icon admitted in a TikTok video that she’ll be too busy to cheer on her love interest at Soldier Field and on the road this year due to her post-Olympics commitments.
“I don’t know how many games I can make because in a couple of weeks we’re going on tour, and if you guys haven’t figured it out, it’s the Gold Over America tour. I think we’re doing about 32 stops right now,” Biles said.
