RUMOR CONTROL: K. Michelle DENIES Dating Olympic Swimmer Ryan Lochte, Says They Are "Supportive Friends"

Aug 01 | by Natasha

OK. Calm whatever's in your britches. K.Michelle and hottie Olympic simmer Ryan Lochte are not dating, like rumors on the net said this week.

THe "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star tells TheYBF.com is their long time friendship is just that....

The rumor mill went wild this week after America's newest most wanted bachelor Ryan Lochte copped the Olympic Gold medal in his first race. And even though plenty of ladies were tweeting their adoration for Mr. Locthe and wishing him to be their boo, it was "LAHHA" star K. Michelle's tweets that seemed a little more intimate.

But no worries ladies. K. Michelle's rep confirmed to us that the two are simply "wonderful & supportive friends." They've even been spotted courtside at basketball games and parties (pictured above) together. And they've known each other for a long time:

"K. Michelle and Ryan Lochte are just great friends who support one another. Ryan and K. Michelle have known one another for some time, and their relationship is nothing more but wonderful and supporting friends in each other's career."

K. Michelle re-confirmed the rumors are false tweeting:

This is so out the blue and old news. I am single. I have friends and I support their endeavors! #carryon

Nothing wrong with having hot & successful friends.

Do you boo....

He might be "urban" such as she, but if whatever is going on is more than they say, he'll probably pull a "Bennifer" down the road and kick her to the curb. Ask J-Lo...

What would any man see in her

What would any man see in her non talking ghetto self? She's pretty and she's built up nice but the way she talks is a train wreck and I don't see how ANY man could tolerate her. She extremely childish too and she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I don't know who he is; I never heard of him.

That explains why his Mom was talking so fast and loose about one night stands. She did not want it confused that they are a real couple.

Those asking why he would

Those asking why he would date someone like her have never seen Lochte be interviewed. Put simply: he is as dumb as a box or rocks. One reporter asked him, "What does 7 x 4 equal?" Ryan confidently replied, "21". There is your answer to why they are together.

So what IF he was dating her?

So what IF he was dating her? So a ghetto girl doesn't deserved to be loved by a man who has achieved a certain status? Doesn't he take a sh*t like everyone else? Oh please! All those dogging her don't even have friends of this caliber, and if he is banging her, they are consenting adults and at least she's sharing her nana with an Olympian not Tyrone on the blog with half done corn rows on his head, smelling like malt liquor and a blunt talkin' about he's next big thing since Tupac.

Another case of my words being taken out of context. Too bad in the sense that it's a rumor ~ Olympic Gold IS a come up. Anybody can do bad by their damn self.

no one would support Lockte

no one would support Lockte banging such black ugly trash. he isn't banging a Zoe Kravitz. That is acceptable. A beautiful bi-racial girl. Or Jamie Fox's daughter. He would lose endorsements.

The shade is that she did say

The shade is that she did say in a video that she is dating a white swimmer. Those words came out her mouth. Now that he rejected her publicly she wants to switch the script and blame people for starting rumors. Its a video of her with a blonde wig on arguing with Yung Berg. Its sad she claiming him and he ain't claiming her.

What is funny is most of the people calling her ghetto and a hoodrat sound just like that in their posts. LOL. If she's a hasbeen to you, at least she "has been" living her dream at some point. What have YOU been doing other than sitting on the internet critiquing from that cubicle or that school library computer? Yea I thought so.

Umm of course they aren't

Umm of course they aren't together. Does Ryan seem like a likes a lil chocolate in his milk? Absolutely. But a ghetto has-been, borderline never-was singer with a kid, who is willing to fight on national TV so she can make in a year what Ryan stands to make in a month?! Ryan strikes me as the type to swirl right. Not just swirl with any ol body. White boi can GET IT. Hell he could get it last Olympics

I saw this on mediatakeout.

I saw this on mediatakeout. He's cute girl KEEP HIM! That's a huge come up from Memphitz and no it's NOT because he's white. I think they're both denying it because it's in the beginning stages and they want their relationship to work. Everyone who says K Michelle is too ghetto for him clearly don't know about his family and plus he wears grills. I've never seen a white boy in the olympics wear a grill before, he is definitely hood. I think they make a cute couple.

Ryan is cute and even if he

Ryan is cute and even if he was down with the swirl he, would not date K. Michelle loud, ghetto, country banshee a$$. He is making history right now at the olympics so endorsements are sure to follow and he cannot be attatched to a girl who can't conduct herself in public like she has some class. I think he probably chill with her when he visit the hood and don't want to get robbed.
