Olympic vaulter Anthony Ammirati has been propositioned by a porn studio following his viral bulge mishap.
On 3 August, the French athlete failed to advance to the finals at the 2024 Paris Olympics when he cock-blocked himself on the crossbar, which ultimately fell down.
Ammirati subsequently became a viral sensation with countless memes and thirst tweets dedicated to his manhood. He’s remained a good sport about it, too, joking about the moment in a TikTok video.
“POV: you create more buzz for your package than for your performances,” he wrote in the clip, before adding in the caption: “I don’t know if I should take it well or not.”
According to a letter obtained by TMZ Sports, CamSoda – an XXX site for live sex cams and porn chat – have offered Ammirati a huge sum to showcase his “goods”.
“If it were up to me, I’d award you for what everyone else saw, your talent below the belt,” wrote CamSoda’s VP, Daryn Parker.
“As a lover of crotch-centric activities, I’d love to offer you up to $250,000 in exchange for a 60-minute webcam show, in which you show off your goods minus the crossbar, of course.”

Parker later told E! News that the studio are “always searching for top-tier talent that can offer one-of-a-kind content” to their users, and want to “celebrate” Ammirati’s “physical stature rather than contribute to the distasteful comments he’s been receiving”.
“We’re confident that watching Anthony’s bulge on our site could inspire others around the world to stand erect and show off their own, too,” he added.
“Should Anthony be interested in taking us up on this offer, we’re happy to work with him on what his debut on CamSoda would look like. We hope to help him regain his confidence after the Olympic event.”
Sadly, Ammirati has revealed that making a transition into the porn industry is not likely.

In the comments section of the aforementioned TikTok video, he stated that he “never received an offer of 250k” and if he did, “I would never accept that”.
While we may not see Ammirati make the move from athlete to adult star, there are many athletes who competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics who have been open about their OnlyFans “side-hustles”.
Robbie Manson recently told Reuters that he makes double the money on the subscription-based site than he does as an athlete. Matthew Mitcham made the same revelation, while coming to the defence of fellow Olympians and OnlyFans creators such as Jack Laugher, Daniel Goodfellow, Matty Lee and Noah Williams.
