In December 2012, Susie Fivo Hamilton, a 44-year-old famous American middle-distance track and field athlete, was revealed by a well-known gossip website to be a senior call girl in Las Vegas after retiring.
Subsequently, Susie and her husband took the antidepressant Zolophrase, whom she had taken, to court, claiming that it was after taking the drug that she had committed a series of absurd acts.
The former sports celebrities will be reduced to call girls, behind all this is the effect of drugs or the indulgence of the heart?
Susie Fivo Hamilton
Susie Fivo Hamilton was born on August 8, 1968 in Wisconsin, USA, where Susie is the fourth child in the family, with her best relationship with her brother Danny.
Under the influence of her parents, Susie, who is already lively and active, fell in love with sports, running, long jumping, swimming... Susie enjoys sweating profusely while exercising, and Susie's parents are discovering their daughter's talent for running.
At the age of 9, Susie achieved very good results in the school's middle and long-distance running competition, and since then, she has started her own running life.

Susie then joined the school's track and field team and began to train in athletics under the leadership of professional coaches, and Susie also lived up to expectations and achieved many honors, large and small.
However, just when Susie's fame was great, her closest brother Danny suddenly changed, and Danny's girlfriend who had been in contact with her for many years suddenly died, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to Danny, and Danny also suffered from bipolar disorder, which is often referred to as bipolar disorder.
The sick Danny has become no longer as friendly and kind as before, but often bullied Susie, and in the face of this sister he once loved, Danny no longer has the patience he once had, and is often extremely impatient with Susie, sometimes shouting.
Susie
Susie was scared and distressed to see her brother so emotionally unstable, often hiding in the quilt alone and crying, while Susie's parents were often not at home due to work reasons, so Susie, who often needed to be alone with her brother, often felt helpless, but helpless.
However, whenever Susie reflected on her brother's extreme behavior to her parents, Susie's parents told her: "You don't have to worry about Danny's business, you just need to practice running well." ”
The parents' silence about Danny's situation became a stone in Susie's heart, and Susie's parents only simply stopped when they saw their son's various self-harm behaviors, not harsh or too much greeting.
Susie and her brother Danny
The originally happy family became solemn, and everyone seemed to have a good heart at all times, but Susie's parents firmly refused to admit that something was wrong with their son, claiming that Danny was just going through a difficult period and would soon be fine.
Growing up in such a strange and twisted family environment, Susie developed a bad habit of avoiding facts, she chose to turn a blind eye to her brother's abnormalities as her parents, such psychological pressure made Susie only release on the track, she hoped to balance the gloomy atmosphere in the family through her own achievements in running.
In her three years of high school, Susie won the National Junior Championship, won more medals than all the previous medals in the school combined, and near the end of high school, Susie broke the record in the 1500m Championship.

Such excellent and dazzling results made this small town girl a hit, everyone's eyes were instantly attracted by this blonde sunshine girl, and many famous schools threw olive branches to Susie, wanting to take this talented athlete under his command.
For a time, Susie was so beautiful that she was close to graduation and received warm invitations from more than 200 universities, including Many Ivy Leagues such as Harvard and Stanford.
Susie's choice was unexpected by everyone, and in order to protect her brother from hurting herself, she resolutely rejected those prestigious universities and chose to study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which was close to home.
University of Wisconsin-Madison
During her studies at the University of Wisconsin, Susie not only achieved great success in sports, but also gained a perfect love, she met a handsome baseball bowler Mark during a training session, and because both of them were very passionate about sports, they quickly fell in love.
Not long after graduating from college, Susie and Mark joined hands and entered the palace of marriage, and the combination of American sports stars made Mark famous with him, but every time everyone mentioned it, they called him "Susie's husband".
In the face of the same star wife who is engaged in sports, Mark does not care that his wife's light completely covers himself, and is even very proud of his wife.
Susie and Mark
With the support of her husband and coach, Susie is also constantly improving herself and creating countless good results, Susie has won 9 national long-distance running championships in the United States, and created records in the 1000 meters and 800 meters indoors, which have not been broken so far.
Susie, who has continued to create brilliance in her career, has also won the title of "Top Ten Female Athletes in the United States", and because of her excellent results, the American University Athletics Federation even named Susie the best female track and field athlete.
At this time, Susie was not only highly praised in the sports world, but also received endorsements from many big brands, Nike, Reebok, Adidas... At her peak, Susie received more than 2,700 calls asking her to endorse commercials.
Susie
However, under the shroud of the huge aura, Susie gradually had a great psychological burden and pressure in addition to excitement and satisfaction, and she began to fear the game, the fear of failure, and the fear of disappointing the people who loved her.
Thanks to the encouragement and support of her husband Mark and the coach, Susie did not give up, but continued to train and compete under great pressure.
In 1992, Susie competed in the Barcelona Olympics after being fully prepared, but may be the first time to participate in a competition of this scale, Susie did not play her full level, running to 11th place in the women's 1500m qualifiers.
Although he failed to achieve a good ranking, the coach who has been struggling did not show half disappointment in her, but showed a warm smile and patted Susie's shoulder: "This is your first time to participate in the Olympic Games, this result is not too bad, go back and sum up the experience, the next time, I believe you." ”
Susie and Mark
Four years later, Susie came to the Atlanta Olympic Games with full confidence, susie who stood on the track again looked at the black pressure crowd in the audience and felt like a world away, but unfortunately, Susie, who was determined to be ashamed of the snow, was still not very good, and in the women's 800m qualifier, she passed by the champion and runner-up.
Two consecutive failures have made the girl, who has been shrouded in the aura of the championship since childhood, begin to doubt herself, and her already adjusted mentality is once again on the verge of collapse.
In 1999, Susie, who was training in a closed training session for the next Olympics, heard unbelievable bad news: her brother Danny ended his life because he no longer wanted to endure the pain of bipolar disorder for himself and his family.
Susie and Mark
The sudden death of her brother who grew up with her became the last straw that crushed Susie, and her psychological defense line was completely broken, and Susie, who was unable to cry, even had difficulty walking.
But just when the coach thought that Susie must not be able to win the next Olympic Games, Susie, who wiped her tears, stood on the track again, and her sad face showed a determined look: "I want to continue training, I should not give up for my brother, I want to participate in the next Olympic Games and win the gold medal." ”
After her brother Danny was buried, Susie re-engaged in intense training, she became more focused and determined than ever, and in Susie's eyes, it was not the referee who stood at the end of the track, but Danny.
Susie
At the Sydney Olympics, the American audience saw their long-awaited Susie as promised, and for the 32-year-old Susie, her physical function was no longer as good as her peak state, so she had to take advantage of this last chance to win the championship.
Everyone on the track was rubbing their fists, and Susie was no exception, taking deep breaths to calm her nervousness and waiting for the moment when the gunshots sounded and rushed to the finish line.
Susie was in very good shape when she first started running, leaving the other opponents far behind, but Susie knew that this way of running would not last long, and after a while she would be exhausted by too much force, and finally had to slow down.
Susie
As the players behind her surpassed her one by one, Susie was very anxious but could not make the strength, seeing that she was going to lose the trophy again, in order to save face, Susie thought of a most direct way: if she fell, she did not have to continue running, and everyone would not blame her for being injured.
So Susie deliberately slowed down, and when she was still 70 meters away from the finish line, she pretended to fall on the runway, and when the emergency personnel rushed to Susie's side, they saw her covering her ankles and lying on the ground in cold sweat.
At this time, the audience was already in a mess, and everyone was very concerned about the injury of the player, but after the first responders examined it, they judged that Susie was not tripped by herself at all, but deliberately fell.
However, seeing the extremely painful expression on Susie's face, the first responders finally did not debunk Susie's lies, carried her to a wheelchair, and sent her out of the arena.
Susie
Three consecutive defeats made the audience doubt the strength of this former sports star, and after some media revealed that Susie's injury was actually a fake fall, her fame and popularity gradually deteriorated, and even the number of advertising endorsements began to decrease significantly.
And Susie, who knows the inside story of her fall, is even more shameless to face her once brilliant long-distance running career, she feels sorry for the coaches and family who have worked hard, and she is even more sorry for the hardships she has suffered over the years.
But living in that repressive family environment for a long time, Susie's first reaction to the predicament was to escape and deny, and she never learned how to face her failures.
Susie
Faced with the Waterloo of her career, Susie once again chose to escape, she announced her retirement to the audience through the media shortly after the Sydney Olympic Games, and then returned to her hometown with her husband and used her savings to open a real estate brokerage company.
For a long time after retiring, Susie did not adapt to the change of her identity, she would still exercise at a fixed time, she would still be in tears when watching her own game video, no one knew how much she wanted to return to the field, but this was already an unattainable thing.
Susie fell
In September 2005, Susie and her husband Mark gave birth to a lovely daughter, Mark thought that the birth of the daughter would divert his wife's attention and make her stop thinking about the nightmare of the year, but she did not expect that things were far beyond control.
Susie's mental state after childbirth has obviously deteriorated, and she often sits quietly by the window, silently weeping at the sky outside the window, or just hugs her daughter tightly, does not allow her to leave her sight, and whispers softly on the side of her daughter's head while hugging: "Mother will protect you, mother will not let you leave me like my brother." ”
Observing that his wife's state was clearly wrong, Mark rushed to see a psychologist with Susie, and the result was diagnosed that Susie was suffering from moderate depression, when Danny died, Susie's spirit was greatly stimulated, coupled with postpartum depression, which catalyzed Susie's psychological problems.
Susie and daughter
After being diagnosed with depression, Susie tried numerous antidepressants, all of which had little effect, and finally, on the recommendation of her doctor, Susie began to take a newly developed and marketed drug: Zoloft.
Susie, who had no hope for Zoloft, had a dramatic change after taking the medicine, and she began to be happy to talk, full of passion for everything, and willing to go out of the house to continue working.
However, just when Mark thought that their lives could finally get back on track, Susie's behavior became more and more strange, and she began to be dissatisfied with the experience that Mark brought her, as if a voice inside had been saying to her: "Not enough." ”
Susie
In the face of his wife who is full of complaints, Mark has a bitter word, so when their wedding anniversary is approaching, Mark proposes to his wife to go crazy in Las Vegas and add some flavor to their marriage.
Susie raised her hands in favor of her husband's proposal, she also felt that she should find some fun for her boring life, so the couple skydived and shopped in Las Vegas, but all this was just an appetizer for Susie, and she still felt very empty inside.
So at Susie's instigation, Mark ordered a call girl to spend the night with them, and it was this novel experience that opened the door to Susie's new world and made her uncontrollable.
Susie
Not long after Susie and Mark returned home from vacation, Susie proposed to her husband that she wanted to go to Las Vegas again, as for the purpose of going there, it was self-evident, Mark struggled again and again, and finally agreed to his wife's request, Susie had a long-lost smile in front of him, he did not want to see his wife return to a depressed state.
With Mark's acquiescence, Susie flew to Las Vegas again and again for crazy nights, but it wasn't the end for Susie, but the beginning of another life.
Once, after Susie returned from Las Vegas, she excitedly pulled her husband to sit down: "I have a good idea, if they like me so much, then why should I spend money to enjoy, rather than me serving them and letting them spend money for me?" ”
Susie
In the face of his unusually excited wife, Mark did not know how to be good, he tried hard to persuade his wife to consider his and his daughter's feelings, but Susie said: "I am in charge of my body, and you as a family should support me." ”
However, what Susie did not know was that due to the doctor's diagnosis error, she was originally suffering from bipolar disorder, but she took antidepressant drugs, and the effect of the drug just strengthened Susie's hyperactive half of consciousness, so she would have more energy than ordinary people and endless desire to vent.
But at this time, Susie could not care about anything else, she only wanted to fill the gap in her heart in this way, so Susie changed her face and became a call girl of The Hayley Heston Private Collection Escort Agency, receiving guests under the name "Kelly Landy".
Susie and Mark
As an athlete, Susie has a good face and smooth body lines, coupled with a passionate and unrestrained personality, Susie is very popular with guests, earning even more than $600 per hour.
Whenever she has time, Susie will tirelessly travel back and forth between Chicago, Las Vegas and Houston to provide exclusive on-call services for guests, and Susie has gradually found her own value in the praise of guests.
However, as the saying goes, often walking by the river, where there are not wet shoes, Susie, who is becoming more and more skilled in the call girl line, has gradually relaxed her vigilance, and in the conversation with the guests, Susie inadvertently revealed her true identity, and this mistake also completely pulled Susie down the abyss.
Susie
In 2012, through a guest of Susie's revelations, the famous American gossip website "Smoking Gun" ruthlessly debunked Susie's double-faced life, which was a great scandal for the former athletes.
Susie is also under the crusade of many media and audiences, she does not know how to explain the absurd behavior she made, after being exposed, she has been living in self-blame and shame, until later Susie and her husband found out that it was actually the doctor's diagnosis of their own condition, coupled with the side effects of Zolophon, aggravated their own bipolar disorder, which led to the consequences.
Susie
"In fact, I've been living in anxiety and insecurity, when a person reaches its highest point, no one tells him how to keep it up, the huge gap after retirement makes me unable to cope, and the call girl is both easy and successful for me."
In the face of everyone's verbal criticism, Susie finally walked out of the haze accompanied by her husband, she generously confessed her demons to the media, perhaps after experiencing so many ups and downs, Susie finally got rid of the shadow of the family, understood that escape can not solve the problem, only by facing the predicament, can she put it to death and be reborn.
