Bubba "The Love Sponge" Clem has been sued by rival Tampa morning show host Todd Schnitt (aka MJ Kelli) of Clear Channel Top 40 WFLZ/Talk WFLA-AM. Bubba is heard on Cox Classic Rock WHPT "The Bone" in Tampa (as well as on Sirius nationally). Schnitt claims in the lawsuit that Bubba made multiple offensive statements on air about both him and his wife, Michelle, including accusing him of being one of the top people "behind our arrest and the trial of the hog deal," meaning the incident where a pig was infamously killed on-air.

Bubba told Tampa TV station WTSP that "I didn't say anything defamatory or slanderous like he made allegations of. Really bad stuff like touching kids or something I would never go there." He added, "This is somebody who got his feelings hurt that's exactly what it is. He gets on the air everyday. He's a public figure."

He added, "Let this play out in court. Let me have my day in court. I can't wait for the deposition to start. Let the games begin. I swear to God."
