Oscar Dela Hoya: "It was Me....."

 

It has been nearly four years since photos purportedly of the former champ clad in an ego-busting photo scandal of Oscar Dela Hoya wearing fishnets, panties and high heels when Milana Dravnel posted  it online.

At the time, Mr De La Hoya’s handlers brushed off the photos as bad Photoshop jobs and his accuser as a money-grubber.
But in a tell-all interview this week, the former welterweight champ revealed: ‘It was me.’

In the interview with Univision, the former welterweight champion spilled the details of his marital, drug and alcohol problems.
Known as 'The Golden Boy,' Mr De La Hoya became the subject of the photo scandal in 2007 when Ms Dravnel, who claimed he had cheated on his wife with her and posted the embarrassing images on the internet.

At the time, the De La Hoya camp claimed it wasn’t him in the photos and that the stripper was 'out for money.'
The Golden Boy’s legal team even brought in their own ‘photo expert,’ who said the photos were a computer-generated forgery.
His spokeswoman said of the photos: 'His head's too small and it doesn't even look like his body.'
De La Hoya reportedly hired a team of lawyers, a PR firm and business associates to discredit Ms Dravnel and goad her into retracting her story.
  
But in the interview with the Spanish-language network, which aired Tuesday night, the troubled pugilist revealed the truth.
'Let me to tell you, yes, yes, it was me,' he said. He also admit that he's cheating on his wife for 10 years, had a drinking problem and drug problem
