So. Ryan Lochte Hung Out With Some Brazilian Teenage Girls the Night of #LochteGate

From Cosmopolitan

Team USA swimmer/regulation hottie/hot mess Ryan Lochte, aka the #LochMessMonster, was apparently out partying with two ~ladies~ the night that he lied to his mom about being robbed at gunpoint.

Behold the glory that is a 32-year-old man getting crazy with some teenagers:

According to the Daily Mail, Brazilian authorities said they believed Lochte (along with his cackling cohorts, James Feigen, Gunnar Bentz, and Jack Conger) did not want to admit to their girlfriends that they were partying with other girls, and that's why they lied about the incident. The women were previously unidentified by the police, but now they are stepping forward to talk to press about the incident.

The girls identified themselves as Mariana Belisario and Laura Gazzinelli, both 18. They said they saw Lochte and his fellow swimmers were drinking in the VIP area at Rio's Club France, and they drank with them until about 5 on the morning of the incident. (The above pic was snapped at 4:15 a.m.)

However, the ladies said nothing sexy was going down between them and the boys, er, full-grown men.

"We were in the athletes' VIP area there were a few people asking to take a pictures with him. He took pictures with everyone but he didn't talk to them, only smiled," Gazzinelli told a Brazilian paper, via the Daily Mail.

So, that's that! Ryan Lochte took some pics with some teen girls and then vandalized a gas station and lied about it. (My guess is this isn't too far off from a typical weekend night for Lochte, but who knows? Certainly not the press! This story is crazy confusing.)
