Tuesday on the Howard Stern Show, Howard sat down with Taylor Chandler, who recently came forward in the media claiming she slept with Olympic athlete, Michael Phelps.

Chandler is an intersex woman who was born with both male and female sex organs. She met Phelps on the Tinder application, and he allegedly pursued her.

Their relationship was healthy, platonic and playful. Chandler also opened up about sexual abuse in her past, recounting stories of when she was raped and molested.

Chandler appeared on the Stern Show in order to set the record straight about her relationship with Phelps.

She said the National Enquirer was going to run the story either way, and since she and Phelps had broken up, she felt the need to open up.

Stern also asked Chandler about rumors surrounding a porn deal with Vivid Entertainment. She said she's not sure if she will take the deal, but is considering it. She's currently working on a book.
