Dustin Diamond doesn't appreciate the local newspaper questioning his integrity.
"Saved By The Bell's" Screech lashed out Thursday against the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for an October 2006 report that claimed Diamond was cheating fans out of T-shirts created to save his Port Washington home from foreclosure.
His message, according to the online 'zine 10zenmonkeys.com was simple. Simple, but obscene:
"My stand about the Journal-Sentinel reports is (sic): they can suck my balls."
The former child actor, who made news last year with a public plea for charity, has found himself again in the spotlight -- this time defending the authenticity of a hotel sex romp with two women.
Maybe all these allegations rubbed Screech the wrong way, because he made no attempts to couch his criticism for the paper's coverage of his financial woes.
"They can suck my balls, and I’ll film it and sell it to Red Light District.com. 'Failed career'? Suck my balls!"
Ouch, Screech.
In the interview, 10zenmokeys' reporter Lou Cabro questioned Diamond and his wife, Jennifer, extensively about all the recent negative publicity.
Diamond said he has sold 22,000 shirts to pay for the house -- minus expenses for production costs and shipping. He did not disclose if he has completely financed the house, but the report said that he was waiting for "a final round of signatures."
The report, oddly, ended with Diamond claiming to have slept with 400 women.
It also said that we may yet see more X-rated Screech videos. And what's on those tapes?
"I can’t reveal, my friend,” said Diamond.
