The stripper that had filed a $25,000,000 lawsuit against legendary boxer Oscar De La Hoya withdrew her suit yesterday when experts determined that pictures of De La Hoya in fishnet hose, panties and high heels, that she alleged were real, were instead doctored images.
Milana Dravnel originally claimed that the photos were real, and had been taken in 2007 at a hotel in Philadelphia. When the photographs leaked onto the Internet, De La Hoya was quick to say the photos were altered and not authentic. Dravnel filed suit against De La Hoya for slander, and claimed that people in the boxer’s camp urged her to sign an agreement claiming she could not prove the photos were authentic.
A story posted on nydailynews.com reports that Dravnel had little choice but to drop her lawsuit after experts concluded that the photos were indeed digitally manipulated.
“Oscar’s always claimed the photos were false,” Judd Berstein, lawyer for De La Hoya said in the nydailynews.com report. “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.”
When Dravnel’s lawyer, Salvatore Strazzullo was asked for his reaction to the findings of the experts outside Manhattan Federal Court- “No comment” was his only response.
