Oscar de la Hoya's lady looks made us all go "what the..." when they were first posted online by X17, who dubbed them "presenting Miss Oscar de la Hoya - Wonder what his wife Millie will say when she sees these!". Forget the wife - this guy is a boxing legend - testosterone, sweat, that's his thing, not dressing in bodysuits and showing off his...well, lady outfit. The fact is, the scandal is only just beginning. Because, you guessed it, the pictures come with a story in tow, and the woman who allegedly took them describes de la Hoya as a regular cross-dresser and a bit of a sexual pervert - not that there's something wrong with that - who frequently dressed in drag and liked to be called "Goldie". Now if this doesn't make you go "Ha!" I don't know what will.
The woman behind the photos is a Scores West dancer, or so claims the Gotham magazine columnist who was first to get an interview from the lady who is said to be in her twenties. "She says she took the photos at the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia on May 17th" states the said columnist, who then goes on to say that "I fully believe she is telling the truth. She had been reluctant to talk. But now that she's being called a liar, she's ready to sell her story. And, believe me, she has a lot of details".
Yes, looks like some major gossip's on the way, especially because de la Hoya is portrayed as a man who allegedly left his family in Puerto Rico and often came to the States especially for indulging in hotel orgies with both men and women that would go on for days and during which he would dress pretty much like we've already seen him.
A friend of the dancer who leaked the pictures reportedly stated that "He[de la hoya]'d send a private plane or fly them first-class" to wherever he was. "They'd meet up in hotels, where the party could go on for days. There was a lot of tequila. It involved men and women. They indulged his every whim and taste. He wore size 9 ladies shoes. He also liked wearing thigh-high nylons. He liked sex games. He and the girl would sit in a chair that they'd pretend was a motorcycle. He'd pretend he was the girl on the back of motorcycle. She'd be the guy. He'd grab her around the waist and squeal, 'Faster! Faster!'"
Meanwhile, de la Hoya is playing the "head in the sand, I'm a good guy, look at me, I'm so relaxed" card. "He wasn't upset" a friend of his reports. "He was sort of laughing. His wife was teasing him that he looks better in lingerie than she does. He's very comfortable in his own skin...he's really not sweating it". Yes, well, he was not about to come out and admit to cheating on his wife now, was he? This is already turning into a hot scandal - so I can't help looking forward to seeing what is going to happen next.
