The 29-year-old assured fans that she's "resting at home" via her IG Stories over an image of her sporting a hospital wristband.

Simone wrote, "I'm not one to normally share things like this because I value privacy in today's age. But almost dying wasn't on my bingo card earlier this week."

"This was one of, if not the scariest experience of my life. Especially since Jonathan Owens was in Indy for practices," she explained.

"But I will be at the Olympics, whether it's on the floor or in the stands," she added.
