In a non-storyline incident Bubba the Love Sponge claimed on his January 19 radio show that Stevens had attacked him while backstage for the tapings of '' Impact ! '' the previous day due to his negative comments concerning the Haiti earthquake relief project . Kong , who had been a driving force in the wrestling community in raising funds for Haiti , was reportedly sent home from the tapings following the altercation . It was later reported that the same day as Bubba 's radio show , Stevens asked for her release from TNA , but it was not granted . After she refused to take part in TNA 's January 2010 tour of the United Kingdom , the company suspended her . The following month , Stevens filed a lawsuit against Bubba for an alleged threatening phone call . She was reportedly released from TNA on March 1 . On the March 8 episode of '' Impact ! '' it was announced that Kong and Hamada were stripped of the Knockouts Tag Team title after allegedly failing to defend them in 30 days , even though their previous defense had taken place just 21 days prior , against Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky . On March 22 , TNA confirmed Stevens ' release , while also claiming that she had requested her release due to personal reasons , but she later said it was due to monetary issues and recent changes to TNA management
