Howard read that Kurt once made out with a woman who turned out to be a transsexual. He didn't know it at the time but found out weeks later when he went on the Rikki Lake show. The woman claimed to be Kathy Ireland's sister. Kurt said that this woman had contacted him and flew him out to meet her. This was years ago when he was in the Olympics. Kurt said that the chick fooled him and he had no idea. He said that he made out with that chick for 7 hours! They got into further details and Kurt said he'd kill her if they ran into each other again.
Hyperbole? Who knows -- but to me it sounds like pro wrestler Kurt Angle is still angry enough to seriously consider premeditated violence against a trans person he kissed. After Angie Zapata's killing, how can we not take these threats seriously?
