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.

I think most people would be pissed if someone got more shine than them for something totally unrelated to their profession/talent. America is so obsessed with the virgin concept that they don't focus on the what's really important. Did she win us the gold? No? Oh okay then...since her virgin cooch didn't outrun the competition, ALL of the American runners should get equal amounts of publicity to keep things fair and egos small.

Maybe if she got some dack she would have been able to run faster.,.... I Kid I Kid! I understand the sentiment but now is not the time. By her addressing the issue it does nothing but fuel the virgin fire. She had the platform to tell her story and make it good and juicy without giving old girl any more shine.

Wells story was so touching she was raped by her mothers bf and said bf and mother ended up dying in an accident when she was young. Now that is a story but yet all we heard was Lolo is a Virgin at 29.
