He's claiming this whore 'shopped them.
From NY DAILY NEWS:Boxer Oscar De La Hoya is slapping away photos that appear to show him dressed in drag — as well as claims that the married champ carried on a kinky, year-long affair with a New York stripper.
X17online.com yesterday posted six photos that show a man resembling the welterweight bruiser wearing fishnet stockings and panties. One shot has the man sporting red boxing gloves and stiletto heels. In another, he's sporting a woman's wig while bent over.
"Yes, people, this is the tough guy, champion boxer Oscar De La Hoya, all prettied up for the camera!" the paparazzi site declares. "Wonder what his wife Millie will say when she sees these!"
De La Hoya's rep, Debbie Caplan, maintains the pictures "are Photoshopped. They're not real. His head's too small and it doesn't even look like his body."
The photos are being peddled by a Scores West dancer, according to R. Couri Hay, the Gotham magazine columnist who scored the first interview with the twentysomething woman.
"She says she took the photos at the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia on May 17," Hay tells us. "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."
A friend of the unnamed woman says that De La Hoya would regularly invite her and other party pals to join him when he left his family at home in Puerto Rico. "He'd send a private plane or fly them first-class," says the friend. "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!'"
Caplan called the claims "absurd" and accused the woman of being "out for money."
De La Hoya has been the target of several sexual harassment claims. In 1998, a woman accused the Golden Boy of raping her when she was 15 years old. The suit was eventually dropped after L.A. police failed to find sufficient evidence to bring charges.
Hay says the woman stands by her story: "She's very disappointed that Oscar isn't coming to terms with his feminine side."
Maybe Marv Albert, who knows something about cross-dressing, could call the shots on this one.
