Lindsey Vonn sends fans into frenzy after tweeting her phone number: ‘You’ll get something special’
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}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.”

But Vonn followed that up 20 minutes later with a video message confirming it was her and the tweet was legit.
