Nina Dobrev & Taylor Lautner Both Dress As Ryan Lochte

To be totally honest, I can’ believe that I didn’t think of people wearing a Ryan Lochte costume. He was a part of one of the biggest stories of the year and I am pretty happy that people decided to dress up as him, because it’s hysterical.

Whats even funnier is that Taylor and Nina went to the same party, totally separate, and wore the same costume. Well they weren’t wearing the exact same thing but they were impersonating the same person. Gotta love it.

Personally, I think Taylor wore it better but great costumes none the less!

We know what Ryan is probably thinking, right? JEAH!

Ralph Lauren & Speedo End Sponsorship With Ryan Lochte

Speedo ended its sponsorship of US Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte after he "over-exaggerated" a story about being robbed in Rio. Ralph Lauren also announced Monday that it will not renew the swimmer's endorsement contract.

Well the hits are going to keep coming for Ryan Lochte, as they should. Call me whatever you want but this grown man, a 32 year old grown man, who many are still calling a kid, lied. That is as simple as I can put it. He lied about having a gun put to his head, he made Rio look worse than it looked before and he continued to lie until there was surveillance video released. Then after that, he lied some more.

I don’t have pity for Ryan because he decided to try and sound like some kind of hero In his mind he didn’t do a damn thing wrong, and he still doesn’t think that he did anything wrong. He said that he simply embellished the story.

Listen you old man, okay not that old, but listen here man. If you just told the truth. If you said, yes I lied, I was drunk and stupid, things might have gone a bit better.

Here is what Speedo had to say about dropping Ryan from their team.

Speedo USA today announces the decision to end its sponsorship of Ryan Lochte. As part of this decision, Speedo USA will donate a $50,000 portion of Lochte’s fee to Save The Children, a global charity partner of Speedo USA’s parent company, for children in Brazil.

While we have enjoyed a winning relationship with Ryan for over a decade and he has been an important member of the Speedo team, we cannot condone behavior that is counter to the values this brand has long stood for.

We appreciate his many achievements and hope he moves forward and learns from this experience. (credit)

I am just angry because of the fact he still won’t admit to any wrong doing. He is literally acting like the Justin Bieber of swimming right. Even in his interview with Matt Lauer he took full responsibility for his actions, but wouldn’t admit to lying about the story, it makes no sense.

Step up, be a man. That’s what I have to say about that. Can you imagine if this was an athlete from a different country, or of a different race? Poor Gabby Douglas was ridiculed on social media, she didn’t even really do anything.

Come on media, get your shit together. Call this asshole out.

Ryan Lochte Apologizes For Rio Incident

To be totally honest, I am surprised that people even believed Ryan Lochte’s story to begin with but hey, he does have those dreamy blue eyes, so I kind of get it.

Today the swimmer took to Instagram to apologize for embellishing the truth and he goes into how scary it is to be out late at night with a language barrier. It is an apology, but only kind of an apology. A part of me is wondering whether or not they will take his medals away. Can you imagine? They have asked Olympians before to give back their medals, I am curious to see what else happens.

Here is what Ryan had to say.

It is interesting to see how things will be handled. Gabby Douglas basically got stoned for literally everything she did, not putting her hand on her heart, not being enthusiastic enough for her teammates.

Considering he is a man though, I am going to assume that this will be a “boys, will be boys” situation. Just remember that this “boy” is 32 years old.

Wait, People Think Ryan Lochte Is Telling The Truth?

Know when I knew that Ryan Lochte was lying? The second this story came out. Let’s be real here, Ryan started off by telling his mother about the incident, which lead to his mother tweeting about it, which lead to pure chaos in Brazil.

When Ryan was then asked about the issue he said that when a gun was put to his head, he simply replied “Whatever’, and gave his money to the alleged thieves, who were also allegedly dressed as police officers. I mean really? I understand Ryan Lochte has probably inhaled an insane amount of chlorine but saying “Whatever” with a gun against your head? Yeah, something doesn’t sit right with me there.

Ryan’s teammates that were with him all backed up his story, yup, they were all robbed but they all had different angles of the story. Some said there were three people, others said there was only one person, it was kind of all over the place.

So Rio police did some digging and apparently the group of guys were caught on camera in a fight at a gas station. So, I mean there are a lot of holes in this story.

Ryan went on television and said that he was standing by his story, but at this point, does anyone believe him? I read somewhere that people were saying that Ryan is a kid, and got caught up in a story. Ryan is 32 fucking years old, he is a grown ass man.

Personally, I think he should be held responsible for lying and causing a bit of panic for other Olympians and for Rio. I understand that apparently the government and police at corrupt in Rio (according to reports), but they really seemed to put effort and time into figuring out what exactly went down.

I guess the question is, what happens next? Obviously it is Rio vs America, Ryan Lochte is an overrated Olympian who once had a reality show, wore grills, and trademarked the term JEAH, so there’s that. Everyone is saying that this is a national embarrassment, let’s be real the fact all of those things I previously listed even happened is a national embarrassment.

It will be extremely interesting to see how all of this unfolds.

If it does turn out to be a lie (which it looks like it is unfolding to be a big lie), he should have to pay the consequences, whatever those consequences may be.

UPDATE!

It is being reported everywhere that Ryan Lochte made up the story to cover up some sort of vandalism that went down at a gas station. Apparently someone kicked the door knob off of a door, the security guard made them pay, Ryan’s teammates are throwing him right under the bus. Let’s hope there is some kind of consequence for making up such a story.
