Crossing The Oceans

In no time the photo crossed the borders of the digital platform and the news became the headline of varies prominent newspapers like The Washington Post and The New York Times. The news gradually made its way to Germany, the U.K and even to Australia and they even featured her story in their famous talk shows.

Disturbing Revelations

When Allison came to know about the scandalous picture it was way too late. The revelation was very disturbing for as she was always wanted to be known by the name of famous pole vaulter, not a sex-symbol. But she was strong from inside and when a life-threatening situation couldn’t shatter her spirit then how could she have this news overpower her achievements and ruin her image? Now the big question was how she would mend the damage?

Searching Ways

She thought of the ways how she could shift the attention and mold the news to get away from the dirt. She then came up with the thought of giving an interview so that it could cover the unnecessary hype that the pictures had created about her physique. She was sure that this will divert people from perceiving her as a sex-symbol. Was she thinking right?

The Interview

So on the scheduled day, she gave an interview which included tips for the young budding girls who were aspiring to be in sports and especially as a pole vaulter in the near future. The video was uploaded successfully on the youtube. And to her surprise, around 100,000 people watched that video but what she didn’t expect was the same kind of comments she received which did the more damage than before. What would be her next step?

Aftermath

Soon her mail was flooded with emails and requests for the photoshoots. It was all getting out of control day by day and she was feeling hopeless despair and was drowning in the narrow cave of depression. Her parents were getting restless because of the same. After the incident, the athlete confined herself in the four walls of the house and refused to get out of it.

Intervention

It wasn’t long before the parents intervened in her situation and pledged to take her out from the controversy and restore her dignity. Her father, Allan Stokke was a lawyer by profession fortunately and was very well able to understand what pain she was going through. So without wasting any more time he stepped into the matter and started to find ways to clean up all the dirt.
