Bitter or Truth: Team USA Dawn Harper & Kellie Wells Say Lolo Jones' Virginity Got Unnecessary Attention
Prior to Lolo Jones taking her first step on to the Olympic track, much spectacle has been made over her 30 year long virginity. Her team mates, Dawn Harper & Kellie Wells, however feel that their stories were just as important and that the media overshadowed them to talk about the lack of activity between Lolo's legs, making her an obvious media favorite. Do they have a point or are they just bitter? I spotted this over at Jock and Stiletto Jill's.
Beadle: You thought you weren’t getting enough respect … Why is that?
Harper: I feel I had a pretty good story — knee surgery two months before Olympic trials in 2008, to make the team but 0.007, not have a contract … working three jobs, living in a frat house, trying to make it work. Coming off running in someone else’s shoes getting the gold medal. Ehhh, I’d say I was pretty interesting. I just felt as if I worked really hard to represent my country in the best way possible, and to come way with the gold medal, and to honestly seem as if, because their favorite [CLOSE UP ON LOLO JONES FROM TUESDAY NIGHT] didn’t win all of sudden it’s just like, ‘Were going to push your story aside, and still gonna push this one.’ That hurt. It did. It hurt my feelings. But I feel as if I showed I can deal with the pressure, I came back, and I think you kinda got to respect it a little bit now.
Beadle [to Harper and Kellie Wells]: You guys kinda hang out together … Is there fighting amongst the team — we’re talking about Lolo Jones if you can’t figure this out — is there an awkward situation or now that it’s over we’ve all just moved on?
Wells: Well, I think that, on the podium tonight, the three girls that earned their spot and they got their medals and they worked hard and did what they needed to do, prevailed. And that’s all that really needs to be said.
Beadle: Wow.
Harper: BOOM! Just like that.
Beadle: You can cut the tension in here with a knife.
I will say this, I do believe that Lolo's virginity has gained more hype than she has talent. She barely qualified and has yet to medal. There definitely is a point there. Lolo Jones has just yet to show and prove. Had she not been a virgin, we wouldn't be talking about her. HOWEVER, now is definitely not the time to throw your team mate under the bus. The world already expects black women to be messy and catty, now is just not the time. No other team is downing their team mate. The men aren't downing their team mates. Granted, your story may be important, but it may not be a "story". A 30 year old attractive virgin (that may be a lesbian) is going to get more publicity than your tragedy to triumph. Such is the world we live in. Take your Silver and Bronze like winners and keep it cute ladies.

No one can tell me she didn't deserve every penny she got when there are people far LESS talented getting MUCH more (KK). She's an Olympian and 4th best in the world. Jeremy Lin isn't even close to 4th best and he's getting $30 million.

LOL @ Siren!
I don't get the fascination w/old virgins. Further why would you deny yourself - the 20s is for being reckless and dabbling. I will say this. I knew a gal well into her 20s a few years back saving it - she was giving out blow jobs like Nino Brown tho.

@ maxwells...nothing wrong with staying a virgin as long as possible. Lol it's rather comical that people prefer to be reckless and dabbling with your health and life considering how high the std rate/aids rate is. I prefer to be responsible. You can still enjoy your 20's without having to spread your legs to every guy that waves at you.

Coming across like two bitter bishes isn't going to get you anymore POSITIVE media coverage than you received before you walked your black arse on that studio set to throw shade. Honestly, I don't give a dam if anyone agrees with me but if they're going to throw a fit about Lotche and his grill then they should've thrown the same fit about her fkin purple hair. You look like a hoodrat that's why no one gave a fk.

They don't even realize that, once they got their moment to tell their story, the further promoted Lolo's story, so even they thought Lolo's was more interesting.
@CJ - I peeped that purple Milky Way track strategically placed in the front and I too was appalled, LOL

They should have told their stories, congratulated their teammate and got the hell on. Lolo on the today show getting love because of all the negativity thrown her way, now where are they? Never bring negativeenergy into your moment to shine.

Tact and Poise! Both women have legitimate arguments considering their accomplishments but their message get lost in translation due to the bitter undertone they both poses.

Don't these women have better things to focus on?really just another reason/excuse to show how the world is.I guess they dont see that life is a blessing. Or what they have been blessed with. No maturity at all just physically strong but mental lazy.
