While MyKayla Skinner remains embroiled in a social media feud over her previous comments about the US gymnastics team, her husband is showing his support.

The retired gymnast, who won a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, has been at the center of controversy after she took aim at the current group of US gymnasts. She suggested Team USA lacked depth and had a poor work ethic.

"Besides Simone [Biles], I feel like the talent and the depth just isn't like what it used to be" and "the girls just don't have the work ethic." Skinner said in a now-deleted YouTube video.

In a video posted to Instagram, Skinner apologized for her previous remarks and also called on Biles "to please put a stop" to what she described as "cyberbullying."

"Watching people cheer on the bullying which has led to threats of physical harm to me, my husband and our daughter is disgusting. So please, at this point, I am just asking for it to just stop for the sake of my family because enough is enough. So why I'm here. It's because about four weeks ago, I made a comment about work ethic and what seems to be taking place with the rising generation. To be totally clear, I take 100% responsibility for poorly articulating the point I was trying to make, and the last thing I wanted was to cause harm or offend our US Olympic team," Skinner said in the video.

SIMONE BILES DEFENDS CALLING OUT FORMER TEAMMATE: 'IT WAS RIGHT IN THAT MOMENT'

"My family and my friends don't deserve to be caught in a crossfire here. They've done nothing. So, to Simone, I am asking you to directly and publicly to please put a stop to this. Please ask your followers to stop. You have been an incredible champion for mental health awareness, and a lot of people need your help now. We've been hurt and attacked in ways that I am certain you never intended."

 Skinner’s husband, Jonas Harmer, then came to his wife's defense via the video's comments section.

"Proud of you for apologizing when you did, staying quiet when you did, and now standing up for yourself," Harmer wrote. "You’re the strongest person I know!"

On July 30, Biles appeared to hit back at Skinner by sharing a social media post after Team USA earned gold in the team the all-round competition. "Lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions," Biles captioned an Instagram post.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Biles defended calling out her former teammate, arguing it was her responsibility to "stand up" for the rest of the team.

"It's important because you have to teach them to use their voices. And if not, you're a voice for the voiceless, which is okay," Biles said. "I just felt like it was right in that moment to stand up for them, because they're so young and they haven't fully stood in their power yet."

"For somebody to stand up, I know it meant a lot for [my teammates]," Biles added.

Biles added to her storied career at the Paris Olympics, winning three golds and one silver medal.

FIRST ON FOX: A suspected serial rapist from Massachusetts accused of raping two women at gunpoint nearly 35 years ago led California law enforcement officers in Los Angeles County on a car chase Thursday before being taken into custody.

Stephen Paul Gale, 71, was driving a Lincoln SUV while trying to get away from authorities before surrendering around 5:30 p.m, a Los Angeles Police Department source told Fox News Digital.

Gale was identified and charged with four counts of aggravated rape, two counts of kidnapping and one count of armed robbery of two women at a convenience store in Framingham, Massachusetts, near Boston, in 1989.

Authorities publicly identified him in connection with the crimes in May.

Gale lived in several other states, used multiple aliases and previously had ties to organized crime, but efforts to locate him were unsuccessful, Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said at the time. 

Investigators said Gale entered the Hit or Miss Store on Dec. 27, 1989, showed a .357 Magnum handgun and forced two female employees to the back of the store. He forced them to take off their clothes and placed them in separate rooms, authorities said.

"He sexually assaulted both women while holding the gun to their heads," Ryan's office said. "When the suspect returned to the front of the store, the victims fled out the rear fire door to a nearby home."

Evidence was collected at the scene and a DNA sample was later obtained. A DNA profile was developed in 2001, but failed to match with anyone in law enforcement databases. 

Authorities later identified Gale as the suspected rapist through forensic genetic genealogy.

In addition to the two rapes at gunpoint, Gale was wanted for questioning in connection with a series of rapes that occurred in 1989 and 1990, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
