Report: U.S. Olympian Suzy Favor Hamilton admits to secret life as escort

Three-time U.S. Olympian Suzy Favor Hamilton reportedly admitted to working as a Las Vegas escort for the past year, allegedly procuring her services as recently as Dec. 5 in a secret life that she said only her husband had known about until now, according to a report on Thursday from TheSmokingGun.com.

Favor Hamilton, 44, who also runs a real estate brokerage firm in Wisconsin with her husband, was once featured in a Nike television commercial, a swimsuit calendar and had more recently been involved in promotional work with Disney. Her alleged work as a call girl had taken her to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston and she was getting paid upwards of $600 per hour. According to the rates posted on the website of the company that handled her business, Haley Heston, she charged $6,000 for a 24-hour period.

The report states Favor Hamilton worked under the fake name “Kelly Lundy” but she said she often revealed her true identity, including her past life as an Olympic mid-distance runner, to clients who she thought would keep it a secret, an assumption she is now calling “a huge mistake.”

According to TheSmokingGun, Favor Hamilton admitted to being in the business in a Las Vegas casino, saying “she was ‘Kelly’ and [speaking] of her concerns that she would be attacked as a ‘homewrecker.’” ...

1. Kelly Lundy is a cute name for a hooker though

can't imagine where she came up with that one

6. It must run in the family.

I hear her dad scored four touchdowns in a single game!

[Aristus]

2. Well, now we know the meaning of 'Favor'.

And she thought her clients wouldn't reveal her secret? Sheesh!

"and you promise you won't tell?"

"Yeah, sure baby..."

3. It would surprise people to know how many women do this

For the record, she is also a notorious bad sport, and took tanking to a disgusting level.

4. Good for her

I'm glad she was able to capitalize on her career as an athlete and turn it into success.

5. "only her husband had known about"...Huh?

That is just so creepy on so many levels.

7. I guess some couples can make an open relationship work.

11. I know, I know...

I recognize that this is MY deal and I shouldn't impose my sexual values on others, but I can't help that my first, gut reaction is "ew".

8. What an example to set for your children and for others, Suzy.

9. I fail to see the problem. It's legal in LV n/t

10. Try telling that to the LV cops

Prostitution is legal in rural Nevada. In Reno and Las Vegas - in fact, in all of Clark County - it's still illegal, and cops do maintain an active presence trying to get prostitutes off the streets.

12. At the rates listed in the article, it's highly unlikely that she was on the streets.

14. Well, I hope she works out her relationship issues

but people are allowed the have sex, after all.
