The defamation lawsuit involving Todd "MJ" Schnitt and Bubba the Love Sponge Clem is winding to a close.

Closing arguments will take place Wednesday.

Schnitt is suing Clem and the BTLS Radio Network for what he says were "highly offensive, insulting or fighting words and defamatory statements" made in 2008 about him and his wife, Michelle.

Judge James Arnold still has not ruled on a requested mistrial from Schnitt's attorneys.

Unlike Monday's event-filled day in the courtroom, Tuesday's proceedings were quiet, with more testimony.

Brent Hatley, the producer and co-host for Bubba's show and former MJ show cast member Kimberly Collelo, known on air as "Jabberjaw," took the stand.

Collelo said she was very close with the Schnitts, was at their home often, and even babysat for the kids.

Collelo said she was with the Schnitts when Bubba first insulted Michelle Schnitt on the radio. Collelo also later worked on Bubba's show before becoming a legal assistant in St. Petersburg.

One of her tasks while working for MJ was to tape and transcribe Bubba’s radio show every day and report back to MJ.

"After he (MJ) found out Mr. Clem called Mrs. Schnitt a (bad name on air), he smiled and he said 'that’s actionable,'" Collelo said.

Collelo painted MJ as obsessive and vindictive. But she also made statements on Bubba’s radio show that are now a part of the defamation case.  She claimed MJ was taking kickbacks from companies in exchange for plugging them on his show, a big no-no in the radio business.

“I believe he was plugging them, and not paying for the services,” she said.

But MJ’S lawyers shot back—denying all of her allegations.

A short time later both sides rested, and the jury was sent home.

The Schnitts are seeking damages because they say Bubba's comments hurt their character.

The suit seeks at least enough money to pay for the Schnitt's home security system, which cost about $18,000.

On Monday, a request for a mistrial from Clem's attorneys was denied Monday in court.

After the delay Monday, former Clear Channel CEO Randy Michaels took the stand for hours, talking about bad blood between two of his former employees, Clem and Schnitt.
