CATHY LEE CROSBY INTERVIEW
BW: Good evening, America, now sitting across from me is the one and only Cathy Lee Crosby. Cathy Lee, America just heard Chris Evert paint you as a jealous stalker of both herself and of football quarterback Joe Theismann. Your thoughts??
CLC: First, thank you, Barbara, for the opportunity to speak my piece. My response is that Chrissy is projecting, projecting, projecting. Tracey Austin, who I don't even know that well, will back me up on this, but Chrissy Evert is a borderline nymphomaniac. We all heard on Tracey's interview with Phyllis George that with Chrissy, 'the line is long but It moves quickly'. Well, Chrissy isn't used to being told 'no' ..... by the way, it's always her making the propositions, rarely the men .... and she got a BIG FAT 'NO' from Joe Theismann in 1972 .... because she was a damn high schooler, and, Barbara, her ego has never recovered from it. He's been her White Whale, her Moby Dick, .... pun intended ..... , ever since. That's what her letters to him are, Barbara... "Please, Joe. Please fuck me." Sick stuff, Barbara, pathetic.
BW: Cathy Lee, please watch you language, we're on live TV.
CLC: Sorry, I forgot.
BW: Cathy Lee, we'll never clear up the she said-she said between you and Chrissy and Joe. Can we turn instead to YOUR fighting style? The grabbing of breasts, and the like. Did you learn that from someone? Did you develop it yourself?
CLC: Well, Barbara, a real woman to woman fight will almost always involve going after each others' breasts in SOME way, even if it's not until the mount .... you know, the pin at the end. But HOW I actually twist and pull and yank. Yes, that was School of Hard Knocks. A Rhodesian bitch ..... I can say 'bitch' on TV, right? ..... a Rhodesian youth tennis bitch got me in a hold once at a youth tennis camp, and got ahold of mine. I swore I would never let a fight happen again where an opponent got to mine first .... that I would always be first to get hers. It was a painful lesson, but a valuable one.
BW: So you'll be going after Chrissy's later this week.
CLC: WITH .... A ... VENGEANCE. [Turns to camera] Count on it, Chrissy.
