World's Strongest Woman Title Revoked in Gender Controversy
The sporting world was rocked by controversy last weekend when Jammie Booker, 28, was stripped of her World's Strongest Woman title at the 2025 Official Strongman Games in Arlington, Texas. The dramatic decision came after event organizers confirmed Booker is biologically male and explicit photos circulated among competitors during the event.
The Official Decision and Its Impact
On Tuesday, the Official Strongman Games organization made a definitive statement, announcing they had removed Booker's victory because their policy only permits athletes to compete in the category matching their sex at birth. This ruling automatically promoted Andrea Thompson, 43, from Great Britain, to the first-place position. The organization revealed they had attempted to contact Booker but received no response regarding the matter.
The controversy deepened as fellow competitors expressed their shock and frustration. Several strongwomen told Daily Mail and Fox News Digital that they only discovered Booker's biological gender after the competition concluded. The situation became more complex when photos and videos began circulating among participants, including one showing Booker grabbing her chest and sticking out her tongue.
Competitors React to the Revelation
Strongwomen Hailey Sikman and Jade Dickens voiced strong reactions to the unfolding situation. Dickens told Fox News Digital she felt "beyond mad" about the circumstances. "Nobody knew he was a man," she stated, adding that Booker's quiet demeanor and potential voice clues might have otherwise revealed the truth.
Sikman shared her experience of attempting to interact with Booker during the event, noting that Booker remained unresponsive. According to Sikman, many female athletes perceived Booker as "arrogant" and believed she deliberately maintained distance from other competitors throughout the competition.
Investigation Reveals Adult Entertainment Links
The Daily Mail conducted an investigation into claims about Booker's background in adult entertainment. Their report identified striking similarities between Booker and a porn performer named Jammie Jay, noting that Booker also uses the TikTok handle @jammiejaysvids. The Internet Adult Film Database shows that "Jammie Jay" received nominations at the Trans Erotica Awards in both 2020 and 2022, listing several adult film titles under that name.
In earlier public appearances, Booker had discussed her personal journey. A 2017 YouTube video featured Booker identifying as a "21-year-old trans woman" with a difficult past and strict parents. More recently, during a July podcast with champion strongwoman Erin Murray, Booker revealed details about her personal life, including having three partners and using Google Calendar to manage her time between relationships, work, and rigorous strongwoman training sessions that she schedules for early mornings.
The organization has not confirmed whether the explicit photos and videos influenced their decision to revoke the title, though they acknowledged investigating all aspects of the controversy. The incident has sparked widespread debate about gender policies in sports and the importance of transparency in athletic competitions.
