Florida- An adult Web site model who claims she was held down and forced to engage in a sexual act on Bubba “The Love Sponge” Clem’s radio show has filed an assault and battery lawsuit against Clem and his producers at Sirius Satellite.
“Soft-core” Internet model Brooke Skye, whose real name is Hope Miller, says the shock jock threatened bodily harm if she didn’t allow porn actress Melissa Midwest to have sex with her using a strap-on device during a June 12 appearance on the Tampa, Fla.-based radio show.
The lawsuit, filed Friday, claims Miller expressed fear that the device was too large for her anatomy, but that Clem, whose real name is Todd Clem, ridiculed her.
“Bubba advised [Miller] that short of ‘f—ing a dog,’ he and his staff could do anything they wanted on the show,” the suit says of Clem, who has made a career out of his outrageous and often controversial antics. “Bubba advised [Miller] that if she did not do what he wanted, he would ‘kick your ass out of my studio and tell everybody not to visit the Web site.'”
Before she could resist, she claims she was ushered into the studio and pinned to the ground by Clem’s staff while actress/model Melissa Midwest, whose real name is Melissa Harrington, penetrated her with the strap-on.
“Plaintiff indicated verbally that she was in pain, she yelled out ‘ouch’ and indicated on several occasions prior to and during the sex act that she did not want to participate in performing the act,” alleges the suit, which was filed last week in Hillsborough County Circuit Court and posted online by the Tampa Tribune.
Miller claims she sustained injuries to her vaginal area and is seeking damages for battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress from Clem, his staff, and Harrington.
The lawsuit claims the ordeal was videotaped and has since been posted on the Internet, for which Miller is suing the defendants for invasion of privacy.
“Bubba was both physically and psychologically coercive,” said Steve Silton, Miller’s Minnesota-based attorney. “They’re good at forcing people to do things they don’t want to do, but I think this incident went well beyond what was appropriate.”
Sirius Satellite is also a defendant in the suit for allegedly failing to properly supervise or prevent the foreseeable misconduct of its employees.
A spokesperson for the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said no police report was filed in connection with incident.
Clem is no stranger to controversy. In 2002, the shock jock stood trial on charges of animal cruelty after two hunters slaughtered a live pig for an on-air event called the “Roadkill Barbecue Show.”
Clem and the hunters were acquitted after they convinced a jury that they had slaughtered the animal in accordance with regulations from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Association.
Attorneys representing Clem and Sirius did not respond to calls for comment.
