NEW YORK (AP) - A former stripper who says she photographed boxer Oscar De La Hoya in racy women's undergarments showed up at court to confront the former champion, only to learn he wasn't there.
Milana Dravnel filed the lawsuit last year, contending De La Hoya defamed her character and caused her emotional distress by claiming the photos were phony.
"I've been hurt by what Oscar said," she said. "This was my only option."
Photos of De La Hoya in a fishnet bodysuit and a woman's wig appeared on the front page of the New York Post on Saturday.
The boxer's lawyer, Judd Burstein, said the pretrial hearing in U.S. District Court on Friday was procedural and there was no need for his client to be there. He added that Dravnel was simply trying to drum up publicity.
Dravnel's lawyer, Salvatore Strazzullo, said outside the Manhattan courthouse he looked forward to when his client would not have to face cameras. Asked why he then put out a news release that attracted cameras, he said: "No comment."
De La Hoya won titles in five weight classes and is 38-5 in a pro career that began after he won a gold medal at the 1992 Olympics. The 35-year-old boxer is the biggest nonheavyweight draw of his generation.
Oscar is queer.....period...end of story....but worse of all...HE's stupid!
letting some dribble twat take pictures of him like that....and then lying about it?? dumb!
Just say from the start.."I was drunk..I was horney..etc etc and we would all laugh..."been there done that...(with out the fishnet) but to deny the obvious?? insults the fans inteligance and opens the door for litigation...DUmb Dumb Dumb!
PS.. I never like him....
All of this fake photo business is really going to piss Oscar off and he is going to get really upset. And when the happens his true warrior mode will come out of him and he is going to really go OFF on Steve Forbes with vicious left hooks and dreadful jabs.
After the world witnesses the fierce beating he unleashes on Stevie it will scare Mayweather so bad he'll pull out of the fight faking an injury.
So unless you guys want to ruin another unbelieveable showdown where Oscar comes out and just puts it all on the line when ALL the odds are against him, I suggest everyone just drop this whole thing right now.
He's only paying that chewed up stripper to be quiet so Millie doesn't find out about it, since the pictures are fake anyway.
1 million?
A guy once said to a very nice, beautiful and respectable woman..
"would you have sex with me for $10 million dollars cash?"
she said "well if your serious...10 million. dollars...yes,...yes I would..."
fumbling in his pocket for change He then said how about for 7 dollars and 25 cents??
Offended and disgusted she answered "what do you think I am!!!!?"
to which he answered
"We have already determined what you are...now we are just negotiating the price......"

Great line. ^
she could have payed someone and gave them a percent of the cut she is gonna get.
I still dont think they are real.. the head looks to fake.
Besides the way she is acting isn't the way a person honest about what they are saying does..
It seems to me like she is in it for the publicity and money.
I always felt the photos were clearly real, its not a suprise.
I would have been more suprised if a stripper was that great at photoshop.
Great line. ^

Website TMZ has reported that the stripper, Milana Dravnel, suing boxing champ Oscar De La Hoya for $100 million showed up to court today... well sort of. Dravnel showed up to court, did a full photo op in front of the courthouse and then refused to walk into the courtroom herself.
Apparently Dravnel got some case of the nerves and refused to bring herself to walk into the courtroom, reports TMZ. Oscar De La Hoya was not present at the court hearing.
Salvatore Strazzullo, the lawyer representing Dravnel told TMZ she was "too nervous" to face the federal court judge. De La Hoya's legal team requested arbitration.
