FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 21 (UPI) — The awkward trend of bed-selfie-blackmailing is apparently taking hold across the sports world.
This time, 43-year-old NHL legend Jaromir Jagr is the center of attention. According to the Czech tabloid “Blesk,” a model from Moravia snapped a picture of herself in bed with a sleeping Jagr. According to the magazine, she tried to extort $2,000 from the Florida Panthers’ winger or release the photo to the media.
The 18-year-old model’s scheme went awry when Jagr responded that “he didn’t care” about the photo going viral, according to NJ.com.
On Sep. 17, Nova.cz published the altered photo the blackmailer was using.
Other sports-selfie scandals have involved James Harden and Julian Edelman.
The Jagr photo prompted a meme explosion on social media.
Yahoo Sports reports that the model is dating Czech junior player Domink Rudl.
