Although Ashley Biles Thomas is not a celebrity because of her efforts, her sister Simone Biles’s successful career as an artistic gymnast has put the lady in the limelight. Moreover, besides being a celebrity sister, Ashley has been in the limelight for being on the wrong side of the law.
In 2021, when Simone Biles was ready for the Tokyo Olympics, Ashley was arrested a few weeks earlier. This may make many people wonder how Ashley and Simone have led different lifestyles despite being siblings. Here is Ashley’s story!
Early Life and Education
Ashley Biles Thomas was born around 1990 to Shannon Biles. Her father’s records are unknown, and he was never absent in her upbringing. Ashley’s mother tried caring for her and her three siblings, but life became harder when she could not control her drug and alcohol addiction.
As a result of the substance addiction, Shannon would not care for Ashley and her siblings as required. This led to concerned neighbors calling social security services. For years, Ashley and her siblings spent time together in foster care.
Ashley Biles was ten years old at this time, while her celebrity sister Simone Biles was three years old. The children were separated from their mother and spent years in foster care. However, when her mother’s addiction failed to improve, Ashley’s relatives came to their rescue.
Ashley’s grandfather initially adopted all of them, but with time, it proved difficult for him to care for all of them, including his two biological children. As a result of that, Ashley’s grand-aunt Harriet adopted her and her brother, while her two youngest siblings remained under the care of their grandfather.
After the adoption, Shannon Biles was prohibited from contacting her children. Since then, Ashley and her siblings grew up separately under the care of their adoptive parents.
Unfortunately, there are no records of Asley’s education. On the other hand, her younger sister Simone Biles focused on her education and gymnastics, becoming a revered gymnast in the world.
