Simone Biles and Hoda Kotb both held back tears on Wednesday’s Today as they discussed the sentencing of Larry Nassar — the disgraced USA Gymnastics team doctor who has been accused of sexual misconduct by over 150 women and girls, including Biles herself.
The decorated Olympian spoke candidly on the show, and thanked Judge Rosemarie Aquilina for her stern words and harsh sentence for Nassar, who faces up to 175 years behind bars.
“I think it’s very hard for someone to go through what I’ve gone through recently and it’s very hard to talk about,” Biles said, tears welling in her eyes.
