Amanda Beard's comments about Michael Phelps......sounds rude to me?

Question

Here's what Amanda Beard said about the rumours of her dating Michael Phelps.

Beard, 26, denied yesterday that she was dating Phelps, 23, saying, "Eww, that's nasty."

"I have never, ever hooked up with Michael Phelps," Beard said via telephone from Beijing on the "Johnjay and Rich Show," which is broadcast on Kiss FM 104.7 in Phoenix.

"Come on, I have really good taste," the s**y swimmer said. "He's really not my type."

That just sounds so rude to me. Why couldn't she have just said , no we aren't dating?

That's what Michael Phelps said when he was asked about it.

Answer 1

The backlash coming her way will be like a Tsunami...a few words and thats it, she will never be on TV ...commecials etc...She is like an other Tonya Harding....Look at her teeth very Gummy, nasty to look at and she is commenting on who is yukky...all she needs to do is look in the mirror..plus she is super old already got wrinlkles...

Answer 2

That is rude. I'm not a fan of Michael Phelps by any means. But for anyone to say that about someone else is rude and uncalled for. I don't think she's all that. Her attitude is lacking. She also sounds like a very shallow person.  

Answer 3

that hideous so called, "sexpot" is a stupid w***e who has no right to say anything rude about michael phelps or anyone else she knows, she must be as stupid as she looks, i mean i agree with you, she could have gone with a simple "no," but nooooo she decides to talk sh** about him? what the h**l?

someone also said that she said that she's is too "classy" for him, more like too blockheaded for him, did you see who she dates? oh yeah! some "good taste"

Answer 4

I'm sorry, regardless of the context and such, that is rude and classless.

Where was she this year?  Oh I'm sorry...she was probably taking her clothes off for another "photographer" to take pictures of her.

I've never been a fan of hers.

Answer 5

she's not exactly Victoria's Secret runway material herself...ffs

Answer 6

Actually, what Michael Phelps really said was: "Why waste my time dating her when all I have to do is open the July 2007 issue of Playboy to see her naked?"

Answer 7

Amanda Beard is a disgusting hate-filled person. We should feel sorry for her. Michael Phelps on the other hand is a Great American and I am proud to have him represent America.

That "Eww" comment was CHILDISH. That other remark was uncalled for. Amanda Beard should be striped of his/her medals. She doesn't deserve them and is a total disgrace to America.

MP is decent looking

AB is UGLY

MP won 8 gold medals in 2008.

AB won NOTHING!

MP was featured on a Wheaties box

AB posed naked for a dirty magazine

Answer 8

I haven't seen/heard the entire interview. Maybe Amanda was saying that it's just nasty the idiots in the press are publishing unfounded rubbish in order to make something out of nothing. And the same goes for inflammatory stuff on radio shows.

Maybe it's something else... I don't want to start or perpetuate any rumours about which I know very little.

Amanda is entitled to her opinions. If she chooses to express them publicly, that's her choice- so long as she does no real harm. And the above, even if taken out of context, really does no harm to Michael Phelps.

Answer 9

I know, I was shocked when I saw that.

It's not like Amanda Beard is someone special, infact i think Michael Phelps is too good for her. She would be lucky if she got a date with him.

I haven't even heard about Amanda until i read that article.  

Answer 10

Either she has a lot of nerves or she's jealous

Answer 11

No, kidding Amanda. Let's think back about 10 years ago when you were the absolutely most ugliest girl at the games! My respect for the woman has gone from the upmost high to the absolute lowest it could ever go. When you are as old as she is - you can think of a better answer than "eww that's nasty". All she had to say was ... No, I don't think of Michael like that. He's like a brother to me. What a b*tch! This just angers me so bad.

Answer 12

Amanda Beard is a stupid w***e that posed for PlayBoy.

Answer 13

It's definitely rude. She's got good taste? Yea, good taste to take her clothes off for whoever asks her too. Eh, never rated (as an athlete or a person) this girl and I certainly don't now.

Answer 14

Yes it was rude and that made me angry. Why would she say something like that about such a nice person who has never did anything to her. You're right all she had to say was a simple "no, we're not dating " but no she had to say something mean and nasty. She needs to look at herself because she is not pretty at all. I think she is an ugly, nasty person on the inside and out and Michael Phelps is too good for her and he can do way better than her.
