A popular sex-doll company wants to make and sell moulds of the retired Paraguayan swimmer’s feet.
According to a letter obtained by TMZ, RealDoll is offering a good chunk of change to sell replicas of the Olympian’s feet – with an opportunity for some extra coin, as well.
“At RealDoll, we pride ourselves on offering our clients unique, customized and life-like creations that help them connect with their fans in a truly personal way,” the letter said. “With your growing success, we believe there is an exciting opportunity for us to collaborate.
“We would like to offer you the chance to mould your feet into a life-like, high-quality material, which we would then make available for sale to your fans.”

The outlet also reported that the facsimiles of Alonso’s feet would sell for US$2,000 each or $3,500 for the pair and that the retired swimmer would receive 20% from each sale. There also is an option for Alonso to autograph the fake feet for an additional fee, which would cost an added $500 for fans and the swimmer would pocket the extra cash.
“Now, while you may not have an Olympic medal hanging around your neck, I think we can all agree those feet of yours deserve a podium of their own,” the letter continued. “They’ve got that rare combination of grace, strength and undeniable cuteness — talk about feet that know how to make a splash.
“It’s time we mould them into a masterpiece your fans can cherish, one toe at a time.”

She gained popularity as an influencer on social media for posting sultry snaps of herself in revealing swimwear and documented her trip to Paris on her Instagram account.
But her relationship with the Paraguayan Olympic Committee (COP) soured after she failed to qualify for the 100-metre butterfly semifinal and then abruptly retired – while still staying in the Olympic Village.
According to Larissa Schaerer, the head of COP, Alonso was asked to leave the athletes’ dorms.
“Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay,” Schaerer said in a statement.
“We thank her for proceeding as instructed, as it was of her own free will that she did not spend the night in the Athletes’ Village.”

The Daily Mail also reported that Alonso was accused of being a distraction to her fellow competitors with her socializing and attire.
She was often seen sporting stylish outfits as opposed to team uniforms and opted to take a trip to Disneyland Paris instead of cheer on her compatriots.
However, Alonso fired back at those reports, insisting that they are “false information” and that she wasn’t asked to leave.

“I just wanted to make it clear that I was never removed or expelled from anywhere, stop spreading false information,” Alonso posted in her Instagram Stories in Spanish, according to the Daily Beast.
“I don’t want to give any statement but I’m not going to let lies affect me either.”
