Stripper says Oscar De La Hoya’s people forced her to lie about pics

Milana Dravnel who is the stripper that had the crazy pics of Oscar De La Hoya chilling in fishnet with boxing gloves on is saying that De La Hoya’s people forced her to come out and say that the pics were altered.
Via Nydailynews:
Oscar De La Hoya sent a team of loyalists to strongarm an ex-stripper into saying embarrassing photos of the champion boxer in fishnet stockings and high heels were fakes, she alleges.
Ex-Scores dancer Milana Dravnel says De La Hoya’s reps sat her down for 90 minutes in a Manhattan deli last September and pressured her to lie about the shocking photos.
Dravnel says she was pressured to sign a statement by lawyer Stephen Espinoza and publicist Glen Buntin, who flew in from California for the meeting.
“I told attorney Espinoza and Bunting more than once that the photographs were authentic and real,” Dravnel wrote in court papers filed yesterday in Manhattan Federal Court.
“I am 22 years old,” Dravnel added. “I immigrated from Russia when I was 12 years old. I did not graduate high school and have only recently obtained my GED. I have no legal training.”
Dravnel is suing De La Hoya for $25 million, claiming he slandered the Siberian beauty by claiming the photos were doctored. She says they are real and were taken in a Philadelphia hotel last year.
