Michael Phelps got himself in some hot water when he decided to take a hit from a bong at a party and was caught on camera doing it. Before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s back it up to the beginning.

Michael Phelps was born in Maryland, and grew up with two parents and two siblings. He was influenced by his family to pursue sports, and he ended up participating in swimming.

Michael found out that he had a talent for swimming and he ended up pursuing it as a career. He was training for the Olympics for many years before he tried to get into the Olympics. He finally was able to participate and he ended up breaking records during his swimming career. This swimming career and Olympic same brought him a lot of attention.

This attention soon began to spread all throughout the United States. Michael Phelps begin appearing in many advertisements and promotions for many different companies. For a long time it was as if you could not avoid Michael Phelps, because he was the “it” man at the time.

This brought him into the public either, and he became a figure of pop culture and celebrity news. This also brought him to the status of being a role model due to his accomplishments and success in sports. He also participated in many charitable events and activism during his fame, which helped many people during the time.

This attention and fame is very important to the story, because without this, he would not have gained a role model status. Without the role model status, this action that he took would not have been blown out of proportion the way it transpired in the media.

Michael Phelps was at a party, and somebody had taken a picture of him hitting a bong. A bong is a large piece of glass or silicone that people smoke out of, most notably used for marijuana.

This picture got out in the media and a media frenzy began. News personalities were debating whether he should be stripped of his role model status. Companies were debating whether to drop him or not due to this picture getting leaked. He was accused of using drugs during his swimming career and people called for his metals to be taken. This all transpired quickly with his personal relations camp, having to deal with a controversy so quick.

The resulting attention lead to Michael Phelps, personally apologizing in the media. This also led to him taking a break from public appearances and appearances in the media as he was doing before.

The damage was already done. Large companies, such as Kelloggs, withdrew their partnership with him and publicly denounced him.

This was a big blow to his brand the work he had put behind being a personable and reliable role model for children.

The debate rages on about the debate about whether people in sports should be looked up to or expected to be role models for people. The debate is whether it’s part of their job to act in a proper way or if their job is simply to play sports and be good.

This conversation has come up often due to issues that sports players have had with being in controversies over the years.

Michael Phelps eventually came back to the public spotlight and people eventually forgot about the controversy. He was able to secure deals with companies again and be the spokesperson for multiple companies in recent years.

This was also a discussion about if the crime fit the punishment. The crime was an old picture of him smoking marijuana. The punishment was public humiliation, dropping from companies, losing millions of dollars in becoming a social pariah for many months. Even though his actions were disappointing to many fans that looked up to him, this issue was debated heavily in the media.

Oh Michael!
