London, Nov.24 (ANI): Caged Olympics ambassador Chelsea Ives, who threw bricks at a police car during the London riots, reckons she has been made a scapegoat for the chaos.
Her own mother turned in Ives after she spotted her on TV.
But, according to the Daily Mail, the teen, detained for two years after looting in north London in August, said she had been wrongly portrayed as a "thick low-life".
Ives, 18, and a resident of East London, hit back at the media in a letter written from Holloway Prison.
She wrote to London's Tricycle Theatre after reading about its new play The Riots because, she said, "the whole country knows who I am".
Ives, who met London Olympics chief Seb Coe, 54, while in her role as 2012 ambassador, said: "I think it's terrible what the news have said about me.
"They have made it look like I'm a disruptive teenager from a council estate. The public seem to place me in an unnamed category for thick, low-lifed [sic] individuals." (ANI)
