delahoya dragqueen photos proven to be fake! Lawsuit dropped!
It's now been officially proven in court the photos of Oscar De La Hoya in drag that caused an internet frenzy last year, were indeed photoshop'ed. The pictures that Milana Dravnel claimed were De La Hoya dressed in drag, were digitally altered.
After experts testified on stand that the photos had been doctored, Dravnel, an ex-stripper has now dropped her $25 million suit she had against De La Hoya.
Quoted in the media, De La Hoya's lawyer, Judd Burstein had this to say about the outcome: "Oscar's always claimed the photos were false.We had experts conclude that they were doctored. She was facing very large damages and so she agreed to drop the case. ... The case would have been dismissed anyway."
Dravnel's lawyer, Salvatore Strazzullo, offered no comment.
The photos had been made public last year by website x17online.com, which refused to take down the photos when De La Hoya representatives told the website the pictures were false.
When the photos first surfaced last year, our photoshop expert here at DoghouseBoxing, icheehuahua also went on record saying the photos looked altered. It now seems a court of law agrees, thanks to other expert testimony.
I honestly thought the pics were real. my bad oscar
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
