Comedian Michael Che, who had earlier sparked backlash for jokes about gymnast Simone Biles’ withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics, has come out with an explanation.

According to Che, it wasn’t him that wrote the roasts but someone else who hacked his account.

Biles, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, withdrew from the Olympics team finals and individual all-around finals earlier this week to prioritize her mental health.
