Supermodel's Son Heckled By High School Basketball Opponents Who Passed Around Nude Photo Of Her

There are teams willing to do whatever it takes to throw their opponents off their game.  Some tactics are more above the board than others.

Supermodel Christy Turlington found this out the hard way during one of her son's high school basketball games.  She says a nude from one of her old photo shoots was used against her son during a game as a "heckling tactic."

That's right, some of her 18-year-old son Finn’s opponents, looking for an edge, passed around a nude photo of his mom.  The 55-year-old former face of Calvin Klein's Eternity revealed the interesting strategy taken by her son's opponents during an interview with Harper's Bazaar.

The incident left her wanting to disappear - a feeling that apparently has since faded.  "I was surprised it hadn’t happened sooner," Turlington admitted.  "But at the same time, I was like, ‘This is so rude!’"

The school caught wind of the supposed "heckling tactic" and turned it into a "bigger thing" than it originally was, according to the model.  After that she said, "All I wanted to do was disappear."

Supermodel Christy Turlington Regrets Nothing

Now to be clear, Turlington didn't want to disappear because she did the nude photo shoot.  She's team no regrets when it comes to life.  It sounds like she didn't want a big deal to be made out of it, which the school ended up doing.

"I don’t feel embarrassed about anything," she explains. "Regretting things is a waste of time."

I'm with Turlington on that.  It doesn't hurt that she's a supermodel and her nude photo shoots were part of her job.  It's not like she was doing them in an alley in exchange for drugs, that could possibly change the way she looks at them slightly.

The missing detail that I want an answer to is whether the whole "heckling tactic" worked or not.  Did it throw her son off his game any?

Which, unless this kid is the next Kobe Bryant, you have to believe it threw her son off his game a tad.  Good luck to him going forward if he has more basketball left to play.
