Personal life

On 25 October 2025, Simon was sentenced to 3 months suspended jail term and a fine of €15 000 for stealing from fellow team mates Justine Braisaz-Bouchet's credit card. An allegation she first refuted, claiming she was a victim of identity theft, but later admitted her guilt. [2]

The French Skiing Federations disciplinary committee will review Simon’s case. [3]
