A three-time Olympian and star of a controversial Nike ad from the 2000 Summer Games has recently been living a double life as a high-price call girl, according to a new investigative report by The Smoking Gun and her own admissions on Twitter. Suzy Favor Hamilton competed unsuccessfully at the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Olympics, and it was during her last appearance at the games that Nike chose her to star in the horror-themed spot shown below. Confronted in a cabin by a Jason Voorhees-esque slasher, half-dressed Hamilton successfully escapes by outlasting the killer in a sprint through the woods. The ad was pulled by NBC after reportedly sparking thousands of complaints for making light of violence against women, although the spot probably wasn’t too popular with parents of young children watching the Olympics, either. "Maybe the image of a guy in a hockey mask out to kill a woman is too disgusting to be on TV," Adweek critic Barbara Lippert noted at the time. "But as I recall, that's never stopped NBC from running commercials promoting Friday the 13th or Scream." Hamilton previously had appeared in a Pert Plus ad, which you can see after the jump. According to her website, Hamilton has also appeared in ads for Reebok, Clairol, Oakley, Kikkoman Foods, Nordic Track, Viactiv Calcium Chews. A popular public speaker and real estate business owner, Hamilton hasn’t exactly fallen on hard times. Instead, she responded to The Smoking Gun’s report by telling her shocked fans that her decision to become a high-class Las Vegas escort was “very much related to depression.” Photo credit: The Smoking Gun.
