Remember the woman who claims to have taken all those photos of Oscar de la Hoya dressed in drag? Well, she must not have gotten enough money from the tabs because now she’s suing Oscar de lay Hoya for fraud, defamation and emotion distress. Lordy.
Milana Dravnel, a 22-year-old model, claims in her 13-page lawsuit that De La Hoya’s attorney, Stephen Espinoza, made false representations in persuading her to recant the legitimacy of photographs that showed De La Hoya embracing Dravnel, and also wearing women’s undergarments.
Dravnel agreed to recant previous statements about the photos and her relationship with De La Hoya, and to not sell any other photographs. Violating the agreement would allow De La Hoya to recoup “liquidated damages,” according to the lawsuit.
Dravnel’s “image has been tarnished, and [she] was portrayed as a liar to the press,” Dravnel’s attorney, Salvatore Strazzullo, wrote in the lawsuit, filed in New York County.
A spokesman for De La Hoya said, “The lawsuit is totally without merit and the matter has been turned over to Mr. De La Hoya’s counsel.”
Dravnel goes on to say she was forced to recant after the FBI told her they wanted to talk to her. I guess they’re not interested anymore?
