This is so effed up, I don't know where to begin...
...Former 3-time Olympian, Motivational Speaker and Generally Incredibly Successful Person Outed as a Vegas Escort.
As in...recently! She was doing this this past year! "Beginning last December..."
My mind is whirring--this reads like an Onion article. A three-time U.S. Olympian whose illustrious running career has included a Nike TV commercial, a swimsuit calendar, and ongoing promotional work for Disney has spent the last year doubling as a $600-an-hour call girl, an astounding secret life that she now regretfully calls a “huge mistake. YA THINK.

Favor Hamilton expressed concern that her story would be “sensationalized” by a reporter. It is hard, though, to imagine how that could occur. [The snark factor is strong with the TSG article.] The actual events of the ex-Olympian's past year already seem like the fever dreams of a Lifetime producer who decided to adapt Luis Bunuel’s “Belle de Jour” for basic cable.
Aside from the complete what-the-flying-FUCK factor....she sounds emotionally ill. Depression apparently runs in her family (her brother committed suicide) and she herself suffered from post-partum depression. A lot of what she says sounds not just naive but numb.
