Mea Culpa

Filed under: Zportz > Love Line > Michael Phelps

wenn5142079.jpg

And the (non)news of the two Olympic swimmers dating continues.

Michael Phelps has already denied any rumors that he's dating Amanda Beard. And now Beard needs to reconfirm that they're not dating and takes the time to explain why she called him "Nasty."

On Tuesday, the swimmer did a interview and joked about dating Phelps.

When asked if she was dating Michael, Amanda responded with a simple, "I am not dating Michael Phelps."

But when asked if they had kissed, she said "Eww! No. Come on."

And when they joked that Phelps might dream about dating her, she said, "Eww, that's so nasty! … Come on, I have really good taste."

So, now, in a new interview, Beard is apologizing for her comments, saying "Everyone who knows me knows I can be a jokester, but I guess I took it too far. I never meant to say anything rude about Michael. I am 100-percent sorry for what I said. I take full responsibility for it."

No worries. Phelps might have an ugly face and hot bod, but Beard suffers from the same condition!

She continues by saying, "When we are sitting in the stands, we are very grateful that Michael swims for the U.S. It's cool to be a part of the team on which Michael won eight gold medals. We know each other and Michael is like my little brother. He jokes around me all the time and it's all good-natured. But obviously people who don't know me can take it the wrong way."

It's okay, gurl. We know you were joking. But we're sure you're enjoying your 15 minutes of fame!

Beard then ends all rumors by admitting that she's been dating a photographer for the past three years.

She says, "He's been here [at the Olympics] – he's always with me. He's totally fine with [the rumors]. This is just the way things go sometimes. But to Michael, I am so sorry for the things I said."

And now that we won't have to hear about Beard any longer, it's back to the important things….

  27. 27

    She is far too beautiful to date any plain-looking man, even if he wins gold medals. Your are wrong Perez when saying she is not a beauty.



  28. 28

    Maybe he did her like 4 years ago, but she's so yesterday! Phelps can do whomever he wants to. And I really doubt it's her.



  29. 29

    Why would she even wear mascara if she's always in the pool? Tammy Faye Baker, anyone?



  30. 30

    yeah she does. she's past her prime, too. too much time modeling and not enough time in the water to be as good as she used to be.



  31. 31

    I heard that interview where she says that Eww like a 12 year old over and over, and she was not joking. Stupid horse-face crooked nosed bitch.

  35. 35

    michael you are great!!

  41. 41

    Amanda Beard and The Crypt Keeper from Tales of Tales Crypt

  42. DES says – reply to this


    42

    this girls should not diss anyways looks



  43. 43

    She is a butterhead too so she really shouldn't be making comments



  44. 44

    so true. she has an ugly face and nice body

    but micahel is uber hot.



  45. 45

    she has NERVE!! phelps may not be the best looking guy but shes FUUUGGLYY!! she has no right callin someone else nasty when she looks like that…



  46. 46

    Rachel Zoe and Amanda Beard … separated at birth, anyone?! Hag.



  47. 47

    This hoe could get it… all day, all night. There are plenty ofgirls that would have their way with Phelps just for the money and fame. She isn't "bag over the face" ugly by any means. I could stand not to hear Michael talk at all though, get that grill fixed, bro! At the very least, her grill isn't busted.

  48. DLR says – reply to this


    48

    Jezz Perez, are you still harping about Amanda and Michael, even when the woman admits she's been going out with someone for a while? I actually thought she was with an Australian swimmer, but I knew she wasn't with Michael, he's too much of a kid and goof for her. By the way, where did you find that picture of Amanda? That's one narsty picture and she looks so old and orange in there. She may have a cool body, like Michael, but dang, those two don't win any gold medals in the looks department.

  49. mrD says – reply to this


    49

    MICHAEL PHELPS TAKES ANABOLICS LIKE EVERY PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE!



  50. 50

    She seems like a bitch. Even if you don't find him attractive, she didn't have to call him out like that. She's very Australian looking.



  51. 51

    Re: lakers24
    umm actually "mea culpa" is LATIN and Perez is CORRECT.



  52. 52

    I'm so confused, Michael is VERY attractive and this woman is dog ugly, she looks 80! Normally I wouldn't bash her but hey, she started it!!!



  53. 53

    She seems really old, well with those bags under her eyes. She might be saying eww because he could be her son.



  54. 54

    ok,,,I like your sight because when you report on the "RUMORS" its funny and somewhat crazy. RUMORS Perez, not spewing your own personal taste of who YOU THINK is handsome, pretty or hot! I find MP a unique person, from his perky ears to his size 14 feet.
    Some people have said that you are not a handsome man, infact sometimes you become an increasingly ugly person when you say ugly things about people. I have found that until you meet and know that person, you shouldn't make a decision whether they're beautiful or not!



  55. 55

    How old is she? 56? She looks good for her age. Cindy McCain anyone?

    TRANNY!



  56. 56

    she's just using Phelps



  57. 57

    In the ewww factor this woman has no room to talk. Take a good look at yourself honey.



  58. 58

    Here's the deal. She is downright ugly, inside and out. If you go to her official homepage and look at her picture, she actually looks like a man, with the exception of her body of course. And the sad part is, that even being the man looking creature she is, Michael Phelps is way better looking than her! And a much better human.



  59. 59

    URGH, what a bitch. She is just doing this for attention. I would date MP, he's cute!



  60. 60

    Damn she's ugly as f#ck.



  61. 61

    she sounds like she's really very immature. who really says something like that about someone else and thinks it's okay at the time? 10 year olds, perhaps… or those who share the same mentality. :)



  62. 62

    "No worries. Phelps might have an ugly face and hot bod, but Beard suffers from the same condition!"
    *giggles* right.



  63. 63

    She looks like a transvestite, she shouldn't be calling anyone else nasty.



  64. 64

    she looks like she needs a feed bag strapped to her head and a sadle blanket wrapped around her back…..dumb bitch

    65

    Some of you need to quit trippin… How many posts have some of you posted saying he looked like snaggletoothe or you only like his body? I haven't seen or heard the interview but the answers come across as something someone would say in a joke, like they look at someone more like a bro than a boyfriend. If she meant if to be vicious…. well the pot shouldn't be calling the kettle black.



  66. 66

    amanda beard is ugly,, she doesnt even have a nive body// its all fit and stuff.. eww michael is better with a model… yet its so cliche



  67. 67

    Ewww… She's an UGLY MINCH FACE! Must be a common trait in the American swim team…UGLY FUCKERS!!!



  68. 68

    Michael Phelps is not dating ANY women. The boy is GAY, GAY, GAY (not that there's anything wrong with that)!!!!

    His creepy coach (for life) was interviewed last week and the interviewer put the coach on the spot by asking about HIS personal life — never married, no children and the fact that he has know Phelps since the age of 11 and has pretty much FOLLOWED Phelphs from Baltimore to College to the Olympics and now back to Baltimore. The coach (for life) responded that "he and Michael know everything about each other and have a close relationship".

    Now it is reported TODAY that Phelps is returning to Baltimore, MD and guess who's joining him…. Creepy Coach (for life). Creepy Coach has already accepted a job in Maryland as a CEO and he and Phelps are going into business together.

    Sorry ladies, the Creepy Coach has cocked-blocked all of you!!!



  69. 69

    Her excuse sounds cliche, but whatever. It's impossible to tell.

    And I think Michael Phelps has a cute face, say what you will.

    She would be LUCKY to get with Michael Phelps. he is dead sexy, she looks like a gopher. yes he's amazing talented with a rockin' body but i also love that he isn't absolutely perfect looking. he's real and doesn't have that boring photoshopped looking model face and smile that is completely flawless. enough of the pretty boys. and he's a modest, good guy who loves his mom. this chick just looks like a tranny, i didn't get the "joke" nor did i think it was funny. she's just jealous michael has the world in awe and America could give 2 shits about her :)

  72. 72

    she looks like a MAn



  73. 73

    Why don't people ever just own up to the shit they say? She should have said, "Sorry, but I'm not attracted to him and I find the thought of making out with somebody I'm not attracted to nasty."
    Yeah I said it, vote for me.



  74. 74

    Aww, come on. You know he's seen Amanda's Beard………

    anyone?

    Stick around, I'll be here all night.



  75. 75

    She looks like a tranny haha !!!



  76. 76

    SHE'S 26?!?!?!?!
    Holy fuckballs batman I thought she was like 40 and had tatooed on permanent makeup! Christ she looks like shit!



  77. 77

    She looks like she could be his mom. Ugh. Who is she anyway? Has she ever won a medal?



  78. 78

    whatever..michael is so cute.
    at least he doesn't look like a tranny like amanda does.



  79. 79

    Just how many medals did she win in the 2008 Olympics..oh yeah..none! All she can do is pose nude and hope nobody has to look at that ugly face.



  80. 80

    once again the media gets celebs right where they want them. if she did say that, than that was pretty rude. i don't michael phelps is that unattractive or even ugly for that matter. i guess i just dont see what other people see. plus i'm not shallow because that's so overrated,lol. i hope he doesn't take offense to that. he should just let it roll off, because people have there moments and days where they can be complete asses and it has nothing to do with him at all.



  81. 81

    Re: auds – i sOo agree with you!



  82. 82

    i don't really think she's in any position to be calling anyone nasty.
    she's the one with frog eyes and horse teeth?

  83. Sweet says – reply to this


    83

    She's one scary looking tranny….



  84. 84

    Theres just something w/ her face… IDK maybe it's that permanent surprized look she has… either way she has no room to talk. He seems like a genuine and kind person… you'd be lucky to date, Amanda.



  85. 85

    She should cut back on the steroids, looking at this picture.
    She looks 46, not 26



  86. 86

    Butter face….nice body butter face needs a bag. Her arrogance and ego need to be bagged. Guess what? After your swimming days are over, you'll just be another flabby-middle aged woman, probably all alone too.



  87. 87

    OH, SO SHE'S A BITCH! ON TOP OF NOT BEING ATTRACTIVE. SHE WOULD BE LUCKY TO SUCK MP'S DICK. HE IS A CUTIE PIE, AND SEEMS LIKE A DOWN-TO-EARTH, NICE GUY. SHE, HOWEVER, IS POSING NUDE AND SAYING CATTY COMMENTS LIKE THIS … WHAT A FUGLY BITCH, INSIDE AND OUT!



  88. 88

    Michael is gay, ANY woman would be a BEARD
    That her name happens to be beard, just FITS>



  89. 89

    she's fucking creepy looking.she looks like a scarecrow. she should be placed in a horror flick.



  90. 90

    buck teeth, thin lips, beak nose, googly eyes, manly face, leathery skin…yeah she's the one to talk. Look how high her ears are! Sorry aMANda, but you're fugly yourself.

    "No worries. Phelps might have an ugly face and hot bod, but Beard suffers from the same condition!"….CLASSIC!!…..ROTFLMAO



  92. 92

    he can rub his ugly face all over my cooch anyday… bring it on!



  93. 93

    He doesn't have an ugly face. He's adorable. He just has a kid-looking kinda retarded looking face with a narrow oblong face and big ears. I'd fuck him for days!!!!

  94. mint says – reply to this


    94

    shes scary



  95. 95

    oh yeah cause she's so beautiful!
    fuck her she looks like a 46 year old transvestite!!!!

    Fuck that & fuck her!



  96. 96

    What is wrong with her mouth? She has such a LOOOONG face! Not wonderful.

  97. Boop says – reply to this


    97

    Honestly, she's too fucking ugly to be making comments like that. Joking or not. Ole shart face needs to look in the mirror. Dumb ho. Bitch.

  98. Pezzy says – reply to this


    98

    Like this chick is in a position to criticize HIS looks? Phelps may not be the prettiest guy, but she has a much uglier man-face than he does. Combine that with her bitchy personality and you have the least fuckable he/she on the planet. Someone needs to tell this tranny to shut up her fugly face and shove Michael's dick in her mouth — in the end, that'll be the best thing that's ever come out of it.



  99. 99

    Perez - dont forget to give credit to PHOENIX's JOHNJAY & RICH for the interview, duh!
    & I heard that interview, she was clearly joking. She says clearly he's like her brother, and it IS ew, nast y to think of kissing someone who is like a brother to you.
