July 27 (UPI) -- Gymnastics superstar Simone Biles might have taken part in Dancing with the Stars, but she wasn't showing her best moves recently after surgery.

Biles, 20, had her wisdom teeth pulled on Thursday morning.

"Wisdom teeth - gone," Biles said after the surgery, via Twitter. "At least I get to be home & catch up on some shows. P.S. I have a funny video for y'all from this!!!"

Ten minutes later, the five-time Olympic medalist posted a 27-second clip of herself dancing in the operating chair, with her mouth full of gauze.

She also appeared to be driving an invisible car and honking a horn.

"Uhm here it is, I honestly have no words," Biles tweeted with the video. "Enjoy!!!!! Hope it makes you laugh!!!!"

The Summer Olympics sensation obviously has no hesitation when it comes to sharing her life with social media followers, even after being harassed on the platforms. In early July she confronted one of those social media trolls after the user told her it seemed like she had "partied nonstop for a year" and told her she was a bad role model.

Biles screenshotted the slam and responded.

"Comments like this have me shook," Biles wrote on Twitter. "I really wanted to blur her name out so she doesn't get attention. but it is what it is..."

Biles placed fourth on Dancing with the Stars. She also authored a book in November, titled Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, A Life in Balance.
