Schnitt and his wife Michelle filed the suit dated on Monday in Hillsborough County accusing Clem of making defamatory remarks about the couple on his morning radio show broadcast on WHPT (102.5).

Among the statements the lawsuit says Clem made was that Todd Schnitt was stealing money and that Michelle Schnitt had been unfaithful to her husband.

Schnitt's morning program is broadcast on WFLZ (93.3).

The lawsuit was filed after attorneys for the couple asked that Clem apologize for the remarks.

A similar request was made earlier this month by attorneys for Mark Lunsford. Lunsford, father of Jessica Lunsford who was kidnapped, raped in killed in Citrus County.

Clem began criticizing Lunsford after Lunsford filed his intent to sue the Citrus County Sheriff's Office over the agency's handling of his daughter's kidnapping, claiming deputies should have found his daughter before she was buried alive.
