Johnny Weir Olympics 2010 olympics figure skating

Johnny Weir has been forced to change his accommodation for the Olympics 2010. The skating star had to leave a hotel to go back to the Olympic village after threats from anti fur activists. Johnny Weir is known for his outlandish outfits that encompass a lot of fur.

“All these crazy fur people. Security wise, to stay in a hotel would be very difficult. There have been threats against me. I didn’t want to get hurt.” This is not the first time he has came under attack from activists. Weir was hounded in the past for wearing a fur hat in the nationals.

When asked why him, Weir told the AP, “I’m just an easy person to pick on because I like fur,”

Weir currently has a reality show on the Sundance channel and is going to be skating to Lady Gaga poker face at the Olympics.
