Recent Comments Draw Attention of Shaun White Accuser
As the winter Olympics continue, recent comments made by gold medal winner Shaun White managed to cause quite a stir and reminded many of a lawsuit between the Olympic snowboarder and the former drummer of his band Bad Things, Lena Zawaideh, that was settled last year. Not exactly the type of attention White was hoping for shortly after winning his “third Olympic gold medal in the men’s half pipe at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.” But what happened? Well, earlier this week while attending a news conference, White was asked about the lawsuit and whether he thought Zawaideh’s allegations of sexual misconduct “would tarnish his legacy.” In response, White replied, “You know honestly, I’m here to talk about the Olympics, not, you know, gossip. But I don’t think so.”
