(Newser) – Dolly Parton has become the latest victim of a Howard Stern audio mashup and the country legend is livid, reports E! Online. The shock jock and his henchmen chopped up and remixed Parton quotes to make it sound as if she was spewing out raunchy and racist remarks. The fuming singer issued a statement hinting that a lawsuit could be on the way.

"I have never been so shocked, hurt, and humiliated in all my life," Parton said. "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. They have done some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing."
