Tito's Twitter Woes Continue, Nude Photo Posted
Via TMZ.com (of course):
Will someone please take Tito Ortiz’s Twitter account away from him? A nude photo (go to TMZ to see it because I’m not posting it here) was tweeted from Ortiz’s account today, but he claims that it was the result of a “hack.” Of course, hacking is used rather loosely here, since the photo was obviously just tweeted from Ortiz’s phone, whether by Ortiz himself or someone else who grabbed his phone. First Anthony Weiner and now Tito. I just don’t know if I can trust Twitter any more.
