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.

More than 150 women and girls have accused Nassar of assault, including Olympians Aly Raisman, Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney and Gabby Douglas. Nassar pleaded guilty in November to several counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.

The 23-year-old gymnast opened up about the headline-making sentencing in an interview with People at the Aerie Real Role Models Campaign Launch event in New York on Thursday, and urged USA Gymnastics, Michigan State University, the U.S. Olympic Committee and the National Collegiate Athletic Association to take steps to prevent sexual abuse in the sport.
“They have to get to the bottom of what happened.
