Celebrity Justice
Stripper Hits De La Hoya with $100 Million Suit

The stripper who first claimed she had racy snaps of sexy boxer Oscar De La Hoya wearing lingerie -- then quickly recanted on national TV -- threw a haymaker today at the Golden Boy, suing him for $100 million for smearing her rep.

"Model" Milana Dravnel alleges in the suit, filed today in Manhattan Supreme Court, that De La Hoya's people coerced her into taking back her story -- you know, the one where she allegedly took those saucy pictures of Oscar in fishnet stockings and more in a Philly hotel room -- and made false promises to her if she recanted.

Dravnel also claims she was the champ's mistress from January 2006 to May 2007, and that she was paid $70,000 by photo agency X17 for the pictures, a price her lawyer says was "below market." She's now suing for "fraud, defamation, and infliction of emotional distress."

There was no response from De La Hoya's corner.

17. These rich celebs/athletes/et al who have their way with strippers/models/et al seem to think their dirty deeds can be done dirt cheap. I certainly don't condone her profession or role as his mistress, but I support her effort to get more cashola from him. It is all change out of the cookie jar for these guys and maybe the next rich dude will think twice before trying to use and lose a young hottie.

I want to see those photos of him in girls undies. Why is it that the most macho guys are

always the ones that (inside) are the most "girly"?

Boxer = Sissy.

20. I saw Oscar at a restaurant in Big Bear once, I was shocked, he is a tiny, itty bitty little guy. Anyway, this chick takes the cake. She announces to the world that she has pics of the Golden Boy in drag, but then recants her idiotic story, and she can't see how her own lack of credibility ruined her own reputation.

No matter how ridiculous any law suit can be, they all have a nuisance value, De La Hoya will slap some greenbacks into her palm just to save the expense of a trial. You can actually earn a nice living filing lawsuits...

24. Wonder what I gotta do to get on TMZ gossip news.......

25. I wondered when her eyes would turn into dollar signs and now she is showing the world that she is nothing but a greedy jerk. She didn't have a reputation in the first place...what makes her think her tiny little reputation is ruined. If anything, people laugh at her. I found her to be funnier on those "pictures" she released than De La Hoya. Golddigger is DEFINTELY her middle name...and her first and her last.

28. Wow--and you had such a reputable reputation before, Me-wanna...Oh I mean...Melana.... go stick to a pole where you belong. You are a long long way from discovering your purpose for breathing.

29. Yeah okay! The stripper is suing for defamation of character. Did you file your suit before or after you got on the pole today? Not even so much about dancing but way to tell the world you were sleeping with a married man. Maybe she should take the $70k, go to school, and stop being a whore for a living. Whore!

30. Guess his managers don't like it when they can't cherry pick his fights. He never did beat a real champion, did he?
