Lawyer: Racy De La Hoya Pics Are "Fake"
Wednesday September 19, 2007
 Kevin C. Cox/WireImage.com Oscar De La Hoya's attorney, Bertram Fields, tells Usmagazine.com that pictures of the boxer circulating the internet today are doctored. In a statement, he says, "The photographs depicting Mr. De La Hoya's image that were posted online today by an obscure paparazzi website are fake. Many of the website's viewers (as reflected in postings on the site) identified the photos as a 'really bad photoshop job.' Unfortunately, with today's technology, anyone can make any photo seem like something other than it is." The photos, which first appeared on x17online.com, appear to show the 34-year-old champion fighter posing provocatively in women’s lingerie. Fields tells Us that De La Hoya, through his lawyers, is demanding that the images be taken down. The official letter to x17, obtained by Us, reads, "We are aware that you have posted on your website X-17 Online.com today certain photographs which you purport depict Mr. De La Hoya...the images are not newsworthy...As you know, Mr. De La Hoya has never consented to your use of his image for any purpose. Accordingly, demand is made that you immediately take down these images, withdraw them from your website, and make no further use of them." Commenting on the unfortunate incident, Fields tells Us, "Mr. De La Hoya has become one of the most recognizable faces in America, not only for his achievements in the boxing ring, but also for his charitable work in developing hospital facilities and schools in the East Los Angeles neighborhood where he grew up. It is regrettable that the price of fame that comes to Mr. De La Hoya and others carries with it the possibility that outsiders will nevertheless seek to exploit that fame for their own profit." Meanwhile, x17 has only placed the De La Hoya pics more prominently on their site in response, telling readers, “Regarding the possibly [sic] Photoshopping of the images -- NOPE! -- we got a letter for Oscar's lawyer today and while they'd love us to take down the pix, they don't seem to dispute their authenticity!” Join Us on Facebook and Twitter for even more up to the minute celebrity news and photos!

Jen, my father is the Sultan of Ghanaherpasiphalaids, in the country of Duhbai. As for the comment regarding "As intelligent as I hope this group is" author all I have to say is...ARE YOU FING KIDDING ME!!!! You hope that this group is intelligent, on the internet? Using Anonymous user names? Commenting on sh** stories on the internet? You sir are a f**stick back country cousin f**king douchbag. My father the sultan of Ghanaherpasiphalaids would have you strung from your testicles, and let goats lick them, until the swelling cuts off the blood supply to your brain, which so happens to be located in your ass.

Obviously photoshopped. As intelligent as I hope this group is, I hope you have learned to question the media and what the media tells you about what's "real" and what's "fake." I hope the person who did this has their day in court. It's NEVER okay to try to destroy someone else's image. Shame shame shame.

They look pretty real! He doesn't look like he's getting off on it or anything. It just looks like he was joking around w/his girlfriend. I would never go out w/a guy who thinks that's funny. But it looks really funny!
