Bubba the Love Sponge Responds to Awesome Kong Lawsuit

Bubba the Love Sponge issued the following statement in reference to news that Awesome Kong has filed a lawsuit against him for making a threatening phone call laced with racially-charged insults.

“This morning I was made aware of allegations made in a petition for full bill of discovery by Ms. Kia Stevens, a professional wrestler with Total Nonstop Action Wrestlng. The allegations in this petition are 100% false. To be clear, everything contained in this petition is not true. Ms. Stevens attributing outrageous racist staements and physical threats to me is disgusting.

“We can prove without any doubt the allegations made in this petition are flase. First, Ms. Stevens claims that she was called on the air at 5:08 a.m. on 2/10. We are not even on the air until 6 a.m. Eastern time. We have phone records and eye witnesses that account for my every movement that day from 4:50 a.m. forward. No call was made to Ms. Stevens at all.

“We will be pursuing all legal remedies available to us in the State of Florida to fight these deliberately malicious allegations.”
