‘Fit’ whiz in risqué jail vids

-

AFTER we reported that ex-CrossFit cofounder Lauren Jenai is engaged to a jailed murder suspect whom she believes is innocent — the fitness guru can’t even video chat with her love anymore, because she got too frisky on their calls. And now he’s in solitary!

“I have to agree with certain terms and conditions,” Jenai told us of her video visitation chats with Franklin Tyrone Tucker — a close highschool friend who’s been in jail since 2017. “You’re not supposed to expose yourself or wear racy clothes, but we have a very close connection,” Oregon-based Jenai told us. “Our love transcends concrete walls. We’ve never been together, we’ve never touched in that way. Obvi- ously, those feelings come up.” During one of the video visitation sessions with “Ty,” “I got a little risqué. I was touching my boobs,” she admitted. “I got a warning . . . I stopped.” Her video visitation account was suspended for three years.

Undeterred, Jenai contacted Tucker via her mom’s account. But, “The heat of the moment sometimes gets the best of you. I want to be as good a fiancée to him . . . my boobs popped out at some point, it happens!” This time there wasn’t any warning.

Jenai then traveled to Florida, along with power lawyer Robert Hantman, to a bail hearing the pair have been fighting for — but Tucker’s bail was denied, leaving Jenai “a little bit devastated.” His side is arguing that there’s no physical evidence tying then-homeless Tucker to a 2017 botched Florida Keys heist that led to a killing known locally as the “tree house murder.”

Oddly, after the hearing, Jenai claims, “apparently they went back and looked at a bunch of our videos over time. Appointmen­ts have been canceled, and suspended for 100 years.” And Tucker’s been thrown into solitary confinemen­t.

Jenai said, “I did something wrong . . . I violated the conditions of the video visitation, and I accept that. He didn’t do anything wrong — he wasn’t doing anything explicit.” She alleges that there is a campaign to “deter my involvemen­t” in the case. “I keep him sane.”
