NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT/ AP) -- Dolly Parton says she is "completely devastated" by a segment on the Howard Stern radio show featuring her voice discussing sex and other celebrities.

The country performer released a statement Wednesday saying editing or trickery made it appear she was commenting on topics and celebrities including Kenny Rogers, Linda Ronstadt, Burt Reynolds and Johnny Carson.

“I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in my life. I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth," Parton said. "They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this. If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it’s going to be over this. Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this.”

The segment aired May 6. A spokesman for the show did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment.

Howard Stern's show is nothing but filthy garbage and it's popularity shows how much our morals in the country have fallen. Howard Stern, South Park, Family Guy. This is the un-Godly trash our children and teens are watching today. And we wonder what is wrong with our schools. It's not lack of money, discipline, or prayer in school. It's a lack of prayer, discipline, and God in the HOME.

Howard Stern is a completely disgusting human being. I hope that he takes his place with Don Imus.
