UPDATE: The title of “World’s Strongest Woman” has been revoked from Jammie Booker following the shocking revelation that she was born biologically male. This decision, announced on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, has sent shockwaves throughout the strongwoman community and beyond.
Officials from the Official Strongwoman Games confirmed the disqualification after explicit images and videos surfaced, allegedly identifying Booker as a transgender former adult film star. The announcement comes just days after Booker, 28, was crowned champion at the prestigious event in Arlington, Texas over the weekend.
In a disturbing turn of events, competitors received the explicit content early on Monday morning, leading to widespread disbelief and concern. Andrea Thompson, who was initially the runner-up, has now been elevated to first place. Thompson stated, “We were just as horrified when we found out… we’re going to investigate.”
The controversy has reignited debates around the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports. The Official Strongwoman Games clarified in their statement that only athletes who are biologically female are eligible to compete in the Women’s Open category. “An athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women’s Open category,” the statement read.
Alongside the title controversy, Booker had been vocal about managing her relationships in a recent podcast, where she revealed her juggling act with multiple partners and rigorous training. She stated, “I take each one of my partners on a date once a week… that makes it a lot easier and frees up a lot of time for me to be rigid with my training.”
The fallout from this announcement is ongoing, as many in the sporting community grapple with the implications of this decision. Competitors and officials are now calling for clearer policies regarding the eligibility of transgender athletes in women’s sports.
As this story develops, all eyes will be on the Official Strongwoman Games and any further statements they may release. The fallout from this incident is likely to influence future competitions and discussions around gender in athletics.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing situation.
