Simone Biles says a break-in at her Chicago home helped push her and Jonathan Owens toward getting a Doberman for protection.
On TikTok this week, the Olympic gold medalist said three masked men came to their house and stole her Porsche while the couple was spending their last few months in Chicago.
"Feel like I need a new car because during our last few months in Chicago, three men in mask[s] came to our house and stole my Porsche," Biles said in a Monday, Sept. 21, clip posted to TikTok. "Stole the GTS."
She added: "But that's another story. If you guys wanna know, I'll do a 'storytime' on that.
I feel like I need a reality TV show. The things that happen to me are absolutely insanity.
And so it would be really easy for producers to just film regularly."
Biles said the theft was "one of the reasons" she and Owens got their Doberman Pinscher, Remi, for protection. She also said the car was recovered and that they were "onto the next."
She didn’t go into more detail about the alleged incident, but she was speaking about it while getting ready to pick up a new car. Biles said she and Owens had looked at Porsche, Audi and Lamborghini, but the search ended at Porsche.
"Then we went over to Porsche. They had Cayenne GTS, and, baby, when they turn that thing on, I was sold.
I felt like Tiffany Haddish from 'Girls Trip,'" Biles said. "'Give it to me, I want it.
Give it to me.' So, we never even made it to Lambo."
Biles also confirmed that she plans to officially move to the Indianapolis area later on to support Owens, who plays for the Colts.
"I’ve been in Houston most of the time, so I’m going to officially move there (to Indianapolis) a little bit later," she told People magazine early in September. "So I haven’t experienced too much, but the stadium is stunning.
It’s beautiful. I’m just excited to watch my husband.
"It doesn’t matter, as long as he’s safe and healthy and he’s having fun, then I don’t care."

Bucks Risk Another Costly Summer Mistake With Jalen Duren
Jalen Durens decision to turn down a five-year, $200 million extension from Detroit has already put a big-money center back on the market, and Milwaukee has the kind of financial muscle that would let it jump into the conversation. For a Bucks team always looking to keep its title window open, a player with Durens age and physical tools will naturally draw interest, especially if the front office believes there is room to shape him into a long-term frontcourt piece.
But the Bucks would not be weighing this one in a vacuum. Their books already carry significant commitments, and a deal at that level would add another major layer of risk to a roster that has to balance present urgency with future flexibility. Durens playoff performance is part of the evaluation, too, which is where the hesitation begins to creep in for Milwaukee, because the price of chasing upside this summer could end up being another expensive mistake.

Bucks Rookies Face A Crowded Camp Battle In The Post Giannis Era
The Bucks enter camp with a very different look after moving on from Giannis Antetokounmpo and reshaping the roster with a wave of incoming players and future draft capital. Among the names to watch are rookies Brayden Burries and Nate Ament, both of whom land in a situation where opportunity will have to be earned the hard way. Milwaukees veteran-heavy depth chart should make every practice rep matter, and it gives the front office a chance to see how the newcomers fit into a roster that is still taking shape.
For Burries, the early path could be especially crowded, with a real chance he begins the season outside the main rotation if the established pieces hold up. Aments route looks different, with development time likely coming in the G-League as the Bucks balance long-term growth against immediate expectations. It is the sort of training camp battle that comes with a rebuild in transition: less about easy openings, more about proving who can handle the next version of Milwaukee basketball. [Read more 🡒]
