Jammie Booker, the 2025 World’s Strongest Woman who was stripped of the title and accused of being a transgender ex-porn star, has resurfaced after months away from the spotlight.
‘Proof of life… the death threats didn’t work,’ Booker posted alongside a selfie from inside the gym. It is not clear when the photo was taken but it was posted on Instagram on Tuesday. It is the first time the American has spoken out since the strongwoman world was engulfed in scandal.
Back in November, Booker triumphed at the world championships in Texas, only for organizers to later disqualify the champion and release a bombshell statement that claimed the American is ‘biologically male.’
At the time, the Daily Mail was told that Booker lost the crown after fellow competitors were sent ‘very explicit’ pictures and videos ‘from an adult entertainment website’ that put Booker’s ‘gender into question.’
Official Strongman Games later released a statement that read: ‘It appears that an athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women’s Open category.’
The organizing body claimed ‘an attempt [was] made to contact the competitor involved but a response has not been received… we are clear – competitors can only compete in the category for the biological sex recorded at birth.’

Booker did not address the furor at the time but, on social media on Tuesday, the American posted a picture from inside the gym and claimed to have been the victim of death threats.
The bio of Booker’s Instagram profile, which is private, still boasts of being the ‘worlds [sic] strongest woman 2025.’
Her disqualification elevated the runner-up, Great Britain’s Andrea Thompson, to first place.
Shortly after, Thompson told the Daily Mail that neither she nor her fellow competitors had any suspicion that Booker was transgender until after the competition, when images and videos allegedly began being circulated.
But other rivals later described Booker as ‘arrogant’ and ‘talking s***’ during the event.
Hailey Sikman and Jade Dickens, who were both at the competition in Texas, shone a light on their experiences of competing alongside Booker.
‘I was beyond mad,’ Dickens told Fox News Digital. ‘Had I known, I definitely would have done something about it, personally would have done something about it prior to the event being over. But nobody knew.’
Sikman revealed she tried to speak to Booker during the competition but the American ‘kind of just blew [her] off… a lot of other women were saying [Booker] was just being arrogant and talking s***.’

Their comments came around the same time that one of the erotic images that reportedly led to Jammie Booker’s disqualification emerged on social media. It shows Booker grabbing her chest and sticking her tongue out while wearing red lipstick.
A Daily Mail investigation into claims that Booker had once worked in pornography identified a performer that goes by the name Jammie Jay, whose image bears a strong resemblance to Booker.
Additionally, Booker is known to use the social media handle @jammiejaysvids on TikTok. The IAFD (internet adult film database) website shows that Jammie Jay was nominated for an award in the ‘Trans Erotica Awards Show’ in both 2020 and 2022.
Some of the movie titles that Jammie Jay is listed as having performed in, per IAFD, are ‘Beautiful Jammie F**** Her A**’ and ‘Jammie Jay Rocks Her C***.’
At the time, the Daily Mail reached out to Booker and Booker’s coach to ask if Booker has ever worked in adult entertainment.
