Simone Biles Emerges Victorious over Suni Lee and Gabby Douglas at Gymnastics Classic

Simone Biles is a champion — again! Just over seven months after becoming the most decorated gymnast of all time, the 27-year-old Texan took home another title on Saturday, May 18, at the 2024 Core Hydration Gymnastics Classic in Hartford, Connecticut. She racked up an impressive all-around score of 59.500, topping the score she earned at last year’s classic (59.1).
Biles dominated the event, which also saw a return to the competition for Suni Lee and Gabby Douglas — marking the first time that three former Olympic all-around gold medalists competed at the same event, according to NBC Sports.
Tokyo Olympics floor exercise gold medalist Jade Carey and team silver medalist Jordan Chiles also competed, as well as Shilese Jones, Skye Blakely, Kayla DiCello, Joscelyn Roberson, Leanne Wong, and Lexi Zeiss.
According to USA Today, Biles’ scores for each event never dipped below 14.55. She posted her highest scores for the vault and floor events, scoring a 15.600 with her self-named Biles II move on the vault. For the first time since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she also completed a triple-twisting double salto on the floor.
“I was just happy to be back out there, get through those nerves again, feel that adrenaline,” she told NBC Sports. “I can’t really complain how the first meet back was.”
Jones, 21, solidified her status as a gymnast-to-watch at Saturday’s event, coming solidly in second place overall, less than two points shy of Biles’ score with a 57.650. She even surpassed Biles on the uneven bars with a score of 15.250.
Douglas, 28, had a difficult night. After competing in just one event — the uneven bars, where she fell twice, and finished with a score of 10.1 — she sat down for a few minutes and then left the floor. She later withdrew from the competition with no reason given.
This meet marked one of Douglas’ first returns to major competition after eight years. Before her appearance at the 2024 American Classic last month, she last competed in 2016, where she won gold at the Rio Olympics.
Lee, meanwhile, completed three events — vault, beam, and floor. The 2020 Olympic all-around champion took home the highest score on beam and finished with a 40.75 total score, qualifying her for the all-around at nationals.
For the 21-year-old Lee, her participation comes more than a year after being diagnosed with two different types of kidney diseases.
According to USA Gymnastics, 2020 Olympians Chiles — who roused fans with her performance on the uneven bars — came in third place all-around with a 55.450. Carey came in fourth with a 54.400, and Blakely, 19, finished just shy of her with a 54.350.
The event also saw some injured athletes — 2022 U.S. all-around champion Konnor McClain withdrew from the meet after injuring her Achilles as she was warming up for the floor.
The classic is one of the last lead-up meets before the U.S. team is selected. One of the next meets, the 2024 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships, is set to take place May 30-June 2 in Fort Worth, Texas. At the competition’s conclusion, the USA Gymnastics national teams will be named, and those athletes will advance to compete at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Gymnastics later in June in Minneapolis.

Post Malone Served Custody Papers from Ex-Fiancée 2 Days Before Coachella

Just a few days before he took the stage at Coachella, Post Malone was served custody papers by his ex-fiancée.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the “Circles” singer, 29, was served custody papers after his ex-fiancée, Hee Sung “Jamie” Park, hired a process server to track down Malone, born Austin Post.
The musician, who took the stage at Coachella Weekend Two on Sunday, April 20, was served on Friday, April 18 at 1:29 p.m. in a Los Angeles parking garage.
A rep for Malone did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

On Wednesday, April 16, legal documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by PEOPLE revealed Malone’s ex-fiancée’s name for the first time as Park filed for custody of the couple’s 2½-year-old daughter.
In the filing, Park requested primary physical custody of her and the rapper’s daughter, who was referred to only by her initials — DDP.
According to the court document, Park is seeking joint legal custody and is willing to give Malone visitation rights.
In May 2022, Malone welcomed a daughter with his former fiancée, just weeks after he told PEOPLE they were expecting.
While he didn’t share an official birth announcement for his daughter, Malone revealed the news of his baby’s arrival on Howard Stern in June 2022.

Then in September 2023, Malone discussed his decision to maintain privacy when it came to his daughter and his former fiancée.
“I feel like a lot of people feel entitled to know every single detail of everyone’s life and it’s why I don’t want to post any pictures of my baby, because I want her to be able to make that decision whenever she wants to and is ready,” he told CR Fashion Book for the Muses issue.
However, in 2025, Malone and his ex appeared to have broken up when he was spotted out with a different woman in March.
At the time, TMZ shared a TikTok video captured by a fan who showed him at a bar sitting next to a woman who had been identified as Christy Lee. Malone and Lee have since been spotted in various locales in Rome and Paris.

Jay-Z’s Rape Accuser Files Motion to Dismiss His Defamation Lawsuit Against Her

The woman who accused Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter of sexually assaulting her in 2000 is now asking a judge to dismiss the rapper’s lawsuit against her.
The woman, identified in court docs obtained by PEOPLE as Jane Doe, alleged in a December 2024 complaint that Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs raped her at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty when she was 13 years old.
Though Doe’s attorneys voluntarily dismissed the case in February, Jay-Z filed his own lawsuit against Doe and her legal team, Tony Buzbee and David Fortney, a month later. He sued Doe and her lawyers, alleging malicious prosecution, abuse of process, and civil conspiracy. He also sued Doe separately, alleging defamation. He claimed in his complaint that the initial allegations of rape against him were knowingly “false” and “malicious,” and Doe’s lawsuit was “strategically and tactically calculated” in an attempt to extort him.
On Tuesday, April 22, Doe filed a motion to dismiss Jay-Z’s lawsuit, alleging that he “fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.”
Her attorneys argued in the motion that Jay-Z’s malicious prosecution claim fails short since he alleges “the […] lawsuit was initiated and prosecuted for malicious reasons, not that any process was wrongfully used after issuance.”
“Carter has not alleged facts that would support an abuse of process claim,” the motion states.
The filing says the civil conspiracy claim against the accuser should also be dismissed as her lawyers “have shown that, as attorneys, they are not liable for civil conspiracy under these allegations.”
“Since a conspiracy requires more than one party, Doe cannot be liable for civil conspiracy,” the motion continues.
Doe requests that the defamation claim against her be dismissed, stating that the allegations in her complaint and comments to the media are “absolutely privileged” under California law “and cannot form the basis for a defamation claim.”
Doe’s motion further claims that based on Jay-Z’s own allegations in his complaint, he was not damaged by any potentially defamatory statements, because he alleged that an NBC News piece “disproved” Doe’s claims and and because he claimed that “[n]o person of ordinary care and prudence” would have believed that Carter sexually assaulted Doe.”
In his filing, Jay-Z alleged Doe’s “frivolous” lawsuit caused him “to suffer actual and special damages, including, but not limited to, harm to his personal and professional reputation, harm to his business entity, Roc Nation—which resulted in his business suffering substantial losses in excess of $20 million—out-of-pocket loss, and emotional harm, humiliation, and harassment.”
Jay-Z is seeking assumed, actual and punitive damages.
PEOPLE reached out to Jay-Z, Doe and Buzbee for comment.
Jay-Z’s attorney Alex Spiro previously addressed the rapper’s decision to sue Doe and her attorneys, telling Good Morning America in March, “The truth had to fully come out. This person cannot be allowed to sort of hide from the reality that this was a false accusation.”

Spiro also addressed a recording purported to be Doe denying that Jay-Z ever sexually assaulted her, and that Buzbee “pushed” her to name Jay-Z.
“She says in no uncertain terms, Mr. Carter did not do this,” Spiro said last month. “It is effectively a lie and the only reason Mr. Carter is even involved in this was because she was pushed to involve him, pushed to include him by a lawyer.”
Buzbee responded, telling GMA that Spiro’s claims were a “blatant lie.”
