After being arrested at least five times during her pregnancy with the future superstar, the troubled Shanon Biles was caught stealing clothes and even baby formula during Simone's earliest days, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.

According to reports, Simone and her younger sister, Adria, were adopted by their grandparents, Ron and Nellie Biles, around this time.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Shanon has been arrested at least 20 times over the past 20 years for charges including assault, theft, drug paraphernalia possession and driving under the influence.

She recently spoke out against Ron and Nellie for calling her a drug addict in interviews.

I feel like they're defaming my character," Shanon seethed in a video message. "I was struggling back then but I've gotten better. . .He didn't have to be so harsh about it. He could've been a little bit more classy with it. He didn't have to put me under the bus."
