All-around Olympic gold medalist and Houston resident Simone Biles recently made her debut as a Texans cheerleader on Sunday when her hometown team played the San Fransisco 49ers.

Before her big debut (which she killed, by the way), she shared an adorable photo of herself to tease to her performance on Twitter saying, "can't wait to cheer at my first game GO HOUSTON TEXANS!!"

HER PERFORMANCE: Simone Biles appears as guest Texans cheerleader

Now Playing:

Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles was a guest Houston Texans cheerleader during their game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Dec. 10, 2017.

The photo shows her on the Texans practice field, wearing a Texans sweater holding two huge pom poms as she beamed with a huge smile on her face.

Naturally, she got encouragement for her debut with most saying, "Slay, Simone Have a great time" and "Good luck!!! Hope you enjoy the experience," though there were some who chose to point out her hair and shame her online.

"Baby... Your hair... You need some black friends," @JoshuaThotties replied to Biles' photo. Since then, his tweet has gotten more than 22,000 retweets and 48,000 likes. It also opened the flood gates of Twitter haters, some of whom said they "cringed" when they saw "her hair not laid" and others saying "she can't be out here in front of the world looking like that."

INCREDIBLE: This is the insane stat behind that photo of Biles, Olajuwon

Quickly, Biles, who isn't one to let bullies get away easily, flawlessly shut down the haters by replying, "just came straight from a 4 hour practice w/ my hair in a bun. excuse my hair... hahah"

That's right, girl. Stand up for yourself.
