Amid the Paris Olympics 2024, the Twitter handle of News 18 India has shared a video stating that Luana Alonso, a 20-year-old swimmer from Paraguay, is out of the Paris Olympics 2024 for being too beautiful.
Fact Check:
DFRAC team investigated this viral video. We found various media reports stating that the reason for Alonso’s expulsion is different from the one stated in the tweet. According to one of the media reports by NDTV India dated August 8, 2024, Luana Alonso was asked to leave the Olympic Village for allegedly creating an “inappropriate” environment. Another media report by THE WEEK dated August 6, 2024, stated that Alonso sneaked out of the village to visit Disneyland Paris instead of supporting her teammates, leading to her expulsion.
Conclusion:
It is evident from DFRAC’s fact check that Luana Alonso was not expelled from the Paris Olympics 2024 for being too beautiful. She was asked to leave the Olympic Village for allegedly creating an “inappropriate” environment.
Analysis: Misleading
