Personal life On 25 October 2025, Simon was sentenced to 3 months suspended jail term and a fine of €15 000 for stealing from teammate Justine Braisaz-Bouchet's credit card. At first she denied the allegation, claiming that she was a victim of identity theft, but she later admitted her guilt.
The French Skiing Federations disciplinary committee reviewed Simon's case and decided to sanction her. She received a six-month ban (five months suspended) and a €30,000 fine (€15,000 suspended). Due to this sanction she could not compete in the 2025–26 Biathlon World Cup – Stage 1 in Östersund, Sweden.
