Bubba the Love Sponge, the man at the center of a lawsuit filed by former TNA Knockouts Champion Awesome Kong has released a statement via his official website refuting that he made any threatening phone calls to Kong. Read the statement below:

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 Wrestling. The allegations in this petition are one hundred percent false. To be clear; everything contained in this petition is not true. Ms. Stevens attributing outrageous racist statements and physical threats to me is disgusting.”

“We can prove without any doubt the allegations made in this petition are false. First Ms. Stevens claims that she was called on the air, at 5:08 AM on February 10th, we are not even on the air until 6 AM Eastern time. We have phone records and eye witnesses that account for my every movement that day from 4:50 AM 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.

Well, it was always going to come to one person versus the other. Someone is obviously lying and no one is going to come clean — that will be for a court to decide. But in this case, one person has a shady reputation compared to the other and I think we all know who that is.

TNA Knockout, Awesome Kong has filed a lawsuit against Bubba the Love Sponge and cell carrier AT&T after receiving a threatening phone call from an unidentified number. Courthouse News Service reports:

Stevens claims Clem called her at her Tampa home from a blocked number at 5 a.m. on Feb. 10. She says the caller said, “‘This is Bubba the Love Sponge here at (and at this point the caller named a radio station’ and then alluded to the fact that the call was being broadcast on the radio. “The caller then started talking in a stream, threatening to come to the petitioner’s house and ’sucker punch’ her until she stopped breathing and then said, ‘You’ll be dead like all those other niggers in Haiti you fat black bitch … Fuck Haiti!”

Stevens claims that when she did not respond, “the male who had identified himself as ‘Bubba the Love Sponge’ stated ‘What d’ya think about that, Monkey Kong?’ … ‘What? Those big fat Jimmy Walker lips ain’t talking shit now, huh?’”

Kong is also going after AT&T after they refused to provide her the number when requested. To read the full details click here.

If true, it’s such a shame that after the whole unfortunate incident was dead and buried, Bubba tries to go after her again some weeks later. The act of a coward is making a threatening phone call with a witheld number. It’s all well and good to hide behind a phone, but I doubt he’d ever have the balls to say that to Kong in person.

His disgusting comments above are just proof of what a lowlife he is and I hope Kong gets justice for not only her but millions of African-Americans who will no doubt be offended by these heinous comments. It’s mind blowing to think racism still exists in 2010.
