Terrence Williams: ‘I am Elvis Presley, so why would I pay’ for sex?
UPDATE 10/21: Katina Powell said on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” that she did have sex with former Louisville player Terrence Williams, who has denied that he paid for sex. “I sure did,” she told ESPN’s John Barr. “I had sex with him once. He paid me $500.” ***
At least one former Louisville player has come out to aggressively deny Katina Powell’s allegations — and in a big way.
Terrence Williams says he never paid for sex while at Louisville, despite allegations in Powell’s book — “Breaking Cardinal Rules” — that he paid $500 for sex with two women.
“I am not a part of that,” he told TMZ. “To Louisville I am f**king Elvis Presley. So why would I pay anybody for anything?
“Motherf**kers pay me for pictures and handshakes. And that’s not being cocky, ’cause I don’t play around with my blessing. I’m very honored to be in that position in Louisville. Louisville is the greatest city, the fans are great, Rick Pitino is great.”
Williams also took shots at the character of Powell, an admitted madam who apparently pimped out her own daughters.
“Nobody’s gonna pay attention to a b*tch searching for money,” he said. “So you make up stuff, and you put out all these allegations. If my name’s on anything, provide proof.
“At the end of the day when the smoke clears, she’s going to go to jail. You need to be put under the f**king jail. You need to be put in a black f**king hole in Langley.”
