War Of Words Heats Up In 'Lesbian Baiting' Coach Suit

Penn State women's basketball coach Rene Portland accused a former player and a national group of waging a negative media campaign that had tarnished her and the reputation of the program.

Portland said in a statement that it was "time to fight back" against the accusations by ex-Lady Lion Jennifer Harris and the National Center for Lesbian Rights.

"I'm not going to sit silently on the sidelines anymore and let this former player and this national organization spread damaging allegations while they attempt to exploit this case for their own agendas," Portland said in the two-page statement issued through a spokesman.

Portland said she was responding to media coverage after a court-ordered mediation session earlier this week failed to produce a settlement in Harris' lawsuit against the coach.

"More Portland Allegations: About 15 former players have now come forward with they call negative experiences with Penn State women's basketball coach Rene Portland, subject of a lawsuit saying she discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation. Penn State University ruled April 18 that women's basketball coach Rene Portland created a "hostile, intimidating and offensive environment" based on the perceived sexual orientation of a former player, Jennifer Harris. Portland continues to insist she did nothing wrong and a Monday mediation session failed to reach a resolution."
