Lindsey Vonn cleared the air over Justin Bieber

There came a time when, even if Lindsey Vonn was seen hanging out with a male friend, the media automatically thought they were dating.

Sassy as ever, Vonn went through the list with some great comments. Then came the name of Justin Bieber. She said, “I also took a picture with Justin Bieber at the ESPYs. And, you know, he was like 12 at the time. So I don’t know why people, there was, maybe it was because he was 12. I’m not sure what’s happening there, but I just took a picture with him. Nothing else happened, clearly. I think I was even married at the time, so…that was just weird.”

Come to think of it, the pairing WAS weird. Bieber was around the age of 12, which puts Vonn around the age bracket of 26-27. That’s over double the age of Justin. While some pairing could’ve carried some credibility with them, this one did not.

The list contained the names of 5 men rumored to be in a relationship with Lindsey. While a 12-year-old Justin Bieber was one of them, the rest of the field included men from different backgrounds. The first name on the list was JJ Watt. Vonn clarified they joked about Watt’s old male physio, but that didn’t mean they dated. She also revealed JJ had a girlfriend back then.

The next name was F1 legend, Lewis Hamilton. She said he’s a great friend of hers. Pointing out similarities, Vonn said, “I like going fast, he likes going fast,” and that they both loved Colorado. Some unfortunate camera angles led to the media talking about their supposed relationship. Talking about Tim Tebow, Vonn said she didn’t know why people thought they were dating. Vonn’s Tebow celebration was taken the wrong way by people and they paired the two up, according to Lindsey. The last name on the list was the most amusing, as evidenced by Vonn’s face. She took a photo with former President George Bush at the President’s cup. The media was quick to pair them up. A surprised Vonn brushed aside all allegations of her ever dating the President of the country.
