Olympic gold medalist, Zac Efron enthusiast [2], and all-around superstar Simone Biles is currently crushing it on Dancing With the Stars [3], and after her second performance on Monday night's show, Simone made the horrible mistake of not smiling during her critiques. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba gave the 20-year-old some mixed reviews, after which host Tom Bergeron said, "I was waiting for you to smile at some of the compliments . . . you didn't." In a moment of sheer brilliance and feminist badassery [4], Simone shrugged and remarked, "Smiling doesn't win you gold medals." A QUEEN.

Simone later addressed her savage comment [5] — which won her tons of support from fans on social media — telling ET, "I feel like everyone has their own opinion, clearly, and I feel it's just how you take it," adding, "I feel like I am trying, I am being honest, but if they don't see that, I don't know what more I can do." Simone is no stranger to clapping back at haters [6], but this really seems like a win for any woman who has been told to smile by a clueless guy.
