e-mail 1 View comments She was one of the women who partied with Usain Bolt at a nightclub then returned to his London hotel at 5.45am, perchance to party some more. Party time: Bolt in London with a companion this week Party time: Bolt in London with a companion this week She was photographed travelling to the hotel and also in the foyer of the hotel, where she was resplendent in a fur gilet, high heels and tiny skirt. I’m not being judgmental. That’s just what she was wearing. I don’t want you to think she was a chambermaid. Now she has officially complained about photographs of her in these situations being circulated online, in newspapers and on social media. She did not consent to their publication, she says, and the resulting publicity has ‘damaged her reputation’. Ahem. Can I be honest here? I am sure it has. If you are a woman in a party frock who returns to the hotel room of a man you have just met, people will make assumptions about you and your behaviour. And I am assuming they are assuming you are not going up to his room to teach him how to crochet or discuss world politics. Some might think: good on you, girl. Some might not. That’s just how the hurdles fall in the race of life. Ms Fur Gilet, who was photographed in a public place, is free to do what she wants to do — in just the same way others are free to think what they want to think about her choices. I don’t think that what she did was so terribly bad or amoral — just a bit stupid for someone who is clearly so sensitive to the opinions of others. If she didn’t want her reputation to be damaged, perhaps she should have thought twice about joining the other women, packed into a taxi like veal calves, as they roared around to Bolt’s hotel in the wee small hours.
