Amanda Beard Says Dating Michael Phelps Would be “Nasty”
Olympic swimmer and model Amanda Beard says she and Michael Phelps are so not an item.
“Eww, that’s nasty!” she said via telephone from Beijing on 93.7 KRQ Tucson’s Johnjay and Rich in the Morning.
“Come on, I have really good taste,” she added. “He’s not really my type.”
Beard — who has a boyfriend (a photographer) — said she has no clue how the rumors started.
“We don’t even talk to each other,” she said.
Well, there’s nothing nasty about the hundreds of millions of stacks Michael is estimated to make over his swimming career and post-career, bitch! He won eight gold medals, your ass didn’t even qualify in Beijing this year.
UPDATE: After catching some flack, Amanda has apologized for her dumb joke.
“Everyone who knows me knows I can be a jokester, but I guess I took it too far. I never meant to say anything rude about Michael. I am 100-percent sorry for what I said. I take full responsibility for it.”
“When we are sitting in the stands, we are very grateful that Michael swims for the U.S. It’s cool to be a part of the team on which Michael won eight gold medals. We know each other and Michael is like my little brother. He jokes around me all the time and it’s all good-natured. But obviously people who don’t know me can take it the wrong way.”
