Living in a trailer in Appalachia

You think of a down and out figure skater living in a trailer, you're guessing Tonya Harding, right?
Nope ...
How about Debi Thomas? Dr. Debi Thomas.
A surgeon. And Olympic medalist. American Sweetheart.
She's broke and living in a trailer in rural Virginia.

Olympian Debi Thomas reveals shes broke and living in a trailer

She also has a little Hope Solo in her. As she and her husband are on record as to slapping each other around.

 

Was not expecting to read about Richlands on here today. My uncle Paul will be thrilled to know his hometown is in the news!

 

Fellow Olympian Suzy Favor Hamilton has a suggestion about how Debi can make a few bucks.

 

She must have bungled a lot of surgeries.

 

Not another gofundme campaign. Someone needs to start a gofuckyourself site.

 

I think she's overselling her misery in an effort to get on TV.

Also the story references her son Luc Bequette as being 13. He's actually 18 or 19 and a freshman on Cal's football team.

Luc Bequette Bio

I'm marginally familiar with the family of one of her ex husbands and her being described as a "trainwreck" seems more telling.

 

Wow, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. What's Jill Trenary up to these days?

 

We have a winner.

 

Debi is about 4.
Suzy has kept herself well maintained.

 

Does that include the carpet?

 

Don't wanna know.
Cue the Bear!
