We're guessing this is not the merry holiday season Suzy Favor Hamilton had hoped for.
A day after it came to light that the three-time Olympian had been living the secret life of an escort in Las Vegas, Hamilton lost her affiliation with Disney.
The middle-distance runner will no longer speak - as she did last August and as she had been scheduled to do in the near future - at the Disneyland Half Marathon.
A Disney rep tells E! News that Hamilton "was only an invited guest and she was never paid or acting as a spokesperson for Disney."
Therefore, there were no official contracts to cancel or ties to sever.
The married 44-year old and mother of one Tweeted not long after the scandal broke how she was aware of her "irrational choices" and takes "full responsibility for them."
But the fallout continues.
The Competitor Group - which sponsored the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Stiletto Dash in which Hamilton last year - says it is "shocked, embarrassed and deeply saddened" by the revelation that she "lived a double life."
"Admittedly this was a part of a secret life that she did not share with those, like us, that she worked with in her capacity as a former world-class athlete."
