Bam: The $10 Million Rumor Man

by The Editors on July 1, 2008

Opie-Financee-LindsayA while back there was a story about a New York radio host whose fiance (Lynsi Smigo) had reportedly made a sex tape with Bam Margera. The story, which was printed in the New York Post (later removed from the website) turned out to be completely false. Now, Ms Smigo is suing the New York Post for $10 million.

Lynsi Smigo, who is engaged to Gregg (Opie) Hughes of the raunchy “Opie & Anthony Show,” accused the paper of trashing her in a Page Six item that claimed she and MTV wildman Bam Margera starred in a steamy X-rated romp.
The paper, which was fed the vicious rumor by frequent gossip page tipster Chaunce Hayden, published a correction last month acknowledging that the April 23 item was bogus, that Smigo has never even met Margera and that Hayden’s tip was “entirely incorrect.”

Where ever Bam goes the money just seems to start piling up.
