“Any sex tape with Stephen in it was made with her bidding,” Naumoski said. “Danielle Staub constantly makes statements about my client that she knows are false & that continue to damage his reputation. We want to put a stop to it.”

And what does Stephen have to say on the matter?
“I have people come up to me in restaurants telling me I’m going to hell, I’m not a good person," he told Radar Online. "I try to explain to people I didn’t do anything wrong. She would send me video texts of her playing with her self, I have nothing to do with that."
“Basically I want her to stop lying and ruining people’s lives, she’s really out of her mind, there’s something wrong with her. She plays the victim and says everyone is out to get her, but it’s really the other way around.”
