This opportunity aligns with her prior modeling experiences while competing at high levels. She has worked with various brands and created content for Instagram and OnlyFans.
Newman previously gained media attention for a photoshoot with Maxim after her viral Olympic moment. She also shared new black-and-white headshots from Los Angeles in March.
Her caption read, “We didn’t come to LA to play… New headshots,” indicating her serious pursuit of modeling opportunities.
Alysha Newman has until August 2027 to decide on her track and field career. This is the expiration date of her current suspension.
She received a 20-month suspension instead of a longer ban, highlighting her potential return to the sport.
