Truth is stranger than fiction… Oscar paid the woman $20million to claim that the photos were Photoshopped, when all along they were legit.

In a stunning revelation, Oscar De La Hoya has admitted that those infamous pictures of him dressed in drag were in fact real.

The boxing legend had denied back in 2007 that images of him wearing fishnet stockings and high heels had been doctored and were fake.

But he has now come clean, saying the scandalous photos were taken while he was high on drugs and alcohol. In a Spanish-language interview with Univision, the 38-year-old finally revealed the truth.

“Let me tell you, yes, yes, it was me [in those pictures],” he said on news show Here and Now.

“I am tired now of lying, of lying to the public and of lying to myself.”

He tried to discredit Dravnel and attorneys for the boxer said at the time that they were a “bad photoshop job”.

But when Dravnel filed a lawsuit claiming that De La Hoya’s team had duped her into saying that the photos were not real, she was ultimately paid $20 million by the boxer to silence her, court documents have revealed.

Dravnel was also ordered to return the lingerie, high heels and fishnet stockings that she had kept after their saucy photo shoot. De La Hoya said that he unraveled after the pictures came out and thought about ending his life.

“One of these nights when I was drunk and alone again, I asked myself, ‘Is it worth it to be alive?’ I was already feeling like I had nothing,” he revealed. “And what is going through your mind are your children, your wife, the people who love you.”

As HSK continues to decipher the real life industry players in what has quickly earned the title of being hip hop’s secret gay scrolls, we want to test your skills (no pun intended).

HSK was the first to tell you about Terrance Dean’s new book “Mogul” – a very detailed layout recounting one artist’s (Big A.T.) journey as he struggles to land his dreams of making it big in the music business. The widely anticipated book, set to be officially released June 14th, and is expected to shatter hip hop’s long kept secret of deeds which need to be met in order to land top hip hop success. Mogul’s characters have fictional names, so the reader is left to decide which character parallels the industry’s real life players.

HSK has determined with precision:

 

1. “Pop” is really Andre Harrell.
2. “Big A.T.” is really P Diddy.
3. “Tickman” is really Mase
4. “Mark Hartman” is really Stephen Hill.

Now, HSK wants to continue testing your trivia skills. This week – twice a week, HSK will exclusively provide you with two excerpts from Mogul surrounding one of its characters. It will be up to you to decide who those fictional names really are! HSK will reward the winner with a free copy of Mogul on the day of its release, June 14th. Good Luck!!!

“I ain’t saying all of them f*cked or sucked some dick to get to the top, but a lot of them have and continue to do so. Trust me, there is always some new young fresh wide-opened rough neck thug who is willing to do whatever it takes to get a record deal, a movie role, or some press. Some even think they are smarter than the next and they will get by without having to deal with a gay brother. Like I said, we are everywhere and in all aspects of this industry. Nine times out of ten, we know each other. It only takes a phone call and we can bring you down or help keep you where you are.” ~ Pop, Mogul

EXCLUSIVE – There’s a new book set to hit shelves which may shatter hip hop’s long kept secret of what it really takes to make it to top hip hop success. Industry insider and author of Hiding in Hip Hop, Terrance Dean brings us his second book “Mogul” – a very detailed layout recounting one artist’s (Big A.T.) journey as he struggles to land his dream of making it big in the music business.

HSK first became hip to the juicy read after one of our readers tipped us off to it. I managed to get an advance copy from my P.R. rep and after delving into its pages, we discovered, because Mogul’s characters have fictional names, the reader is left to decide which character parallels the industry’s real life players.

In this excerpt from the novel below, we have determined with precision the character of “Pop” is really Andre Harrell. Don’t believe me? just ask Puffy!
