Mea Culpa
Filed under: Zportz > Love Line > Michael Phelps
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….

GAY! why is your "joking" tone same as your "serious" tone?!
and im pretty sure this "boyfriend" of yours wouldn't think it's fine that these rumors are flooding around.
amanda "butterface" beard - can we say "trannylicious?"
AMANDA BEARD IS A BUTTER FACE, EVERYTHING'S GOOD EXCEPT THE 45-YEAR-OLD FACE
She looks like Alexis Arquette's twin sister!! OMG!
uh screw her she's not even worth the tabliods
go micheal!
I would climb him like a jungle gym.
fugly whore
Ouch. But I guess I don't blame her.
1. That Pheps guy is not ugly
2. She is absolutely repulsive
lol true about the ugly face and hot bod thing. A face is the most important physical feature i reckon
she's no bond girl NEXT
Whatevs, he's better looking than her. She wishes she was as good as Pelphs and getting all the attention.
She meant it. He is nasty ugly. Yeah, he has a great bod, but a beat up face with nasty teeth. And the other atheletes must know him best to say "Ewww" so I am sure he has great character flaws. He's suppose to be an asshole douchebag too.
OMG leave Her alone!
Disgusting drawing Perez!!
God, she is fugly. I have always thought that. Just funky looking.
She is one of those chicks who thinks she's hot but she is not. I think she has an ugly face. But even if she was pretty was it neccesary to be so tackless? Really all she had to say was they are not dating and she has a boyfriend. Saying your sorry later doesn't do any good, she is stupid and rude, and yes fuglyfuglyfuglyfuglyfuglyfuglyfuglyfuglybbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttttttuuuugggglllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Shut the fuck up Perez. Michael is so fucking gorgeous. Face AND body. He's also very talented, unlike you.
TAMMY FAYE BAKER IS ALL I SEE.
Separated at Birth??
Yeah should have defiantly said im dating some photographer not michael instead saying that shit about him. Her body wishes it was in the same playing field as Michael's its more of a man body than a woman body but thats irrelevant, Ill jack her in the face a couple times for that comment. I love you michael!
she almost cracked my computer screen
Ew, that chick is ugly. Michael Phelps is fine as hell. Sure, he needs to fix his teeth, but I personally think his face is pretty cute.
