Oscar De La Hoya Denies Claims that Stripper Took Racy Pics
Days after pictures surfaced supposedly showing boxing champ Oscar De La Hoya in women's lingerie, a stripper is now claiming that she was the one behind the camera.
A new report says the pictures were taken by a Scores stripper with whom he had an affair.
But Oscar told “Extra” that the pictures are fake – and that his wife is actually getting a good laugh out of the situation.
Oscar's good friend Mario Lopez spoke with him at length about the scandal and says, “His wife was teasing him that he looks better in lingerie than she does.”
Oscar and his lawyer both insist that the pictures are the work of a clever prankster skilled in Photoshop.
Said Mario, “I just spoke with Oscar about the photos and we both got a big kick out of them. He said he looked like his aunt.”
He added, “He's very comfortable in his own skin...he's really not sweating it.”
