Team USA’s Suni Lee gets selfie with Beyonce and poses for photo with Demi Lovato at Glamour awards in New York
Team USA’s Suni Lee has continued her post-Olympic journey by attending the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in New York on Tuesday night, even getting a selfie with Beyonce.
Lee was one of the 12 women honored as part of Glamour’s class of 2024 alongside many from the sports world.
Serena Williams, Donna Kelce, and Allyson Felix were the other sports-connected honorees.
Lee also posed for a photo with famous singer Demi Lovato at the event.
As part of being honored by Glamour, Lee got a tell-all interview with the publication, where she hit out at former gymnastics teammate MyKayla Skinner.

Skinner retired from gymnastics after the 2021 Olympiad, yet went out of her way to criticize this year’s team for what she viewed as a different ‘work ethic’ than she was used to.
Lee and her teammates did not directly address Skinner’s remarks, which she was forced to clarify and later apologize for. They did subtly make reference to them in social media posts leading up to the Paris games.
‘We have a lot of love for her, but it’s frustrating to see her put us down because she knows, basically, about every single thing that we’ve all been through,’ Lee told Glamour. ‘It was more annoying because of all the things that I’ve been through.’
Lee had two types of kidney disease that cut her college career at Auburn short. She was also forced to miss several months of training due to the illnesses.
The three-time Olympic medalist did not get back to training for the Olympics full-time until this January, six months before the Olympic trials in her home state of Minnesota.
Lee also revealed to Glamour a week before the trials, she had an infusion after a relapse of her kidney disease.
Skinner has since blocked Biles on Instagram since the Olympics have ended, with Lee’s comments possibly leading to the same cut-out.
