Dolly Parton [ tickets ] said she is shocked, hurt and humiliated over the airing of a segment on Sirius Satellite Radio's "The Howard Stern Show" program during which recordings of her voice reportedly were electronically manipulated to create racist and sexually vulgar comments. "I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me," Parton said in a statement. "In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing."

Parton apologized for the radio show and made it clear she had nothing to do with the segment. "If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it's going to be over this," she said. "Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this."
