Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn sent fans into meltdown Wednesday night after posting her phone number on Twitter.
The stunning 34-year-old then followed that up with a video message to deny she had been hacked but just wanted to hear from her fans.
“Want to text me? I got this new number and now I can text my fans directly!“ Vonn said. “Social media is great but it’s not as personal as texting. I can’t get back to everyone but you’ll get something special I promise 970-471-7878 #textme.”

Suspicious supporters quickly assumed someone was up to no good on her account.
But Vonn followed that up 20 minutes later with a video message confirming it was her and the tweet was legit.
“Guys, I did not get hacked. I just texted, tweeted my phone number,” Vonn said. “So text me, but only for my fans … my true fans. But if you’re not, then you probably shouldn’t bother.”
Vonn, the 2010 Olympic downhill champion who has appeared in both the 2010 and 2016 editions of Sports Illustrated’s annual Swimsuit issue, won bronze in the downhill event during her last race at the Alpine World Ski Championships in Sweden in February.

That included a nude selfie Woods had sent while they were together.
