Steve Ward has yet to comment publicly on the audio recording of a man identified as him promising a call girl a spot on his show, Tough Lovein exchange for sex.

But behind the scenes, he has plenty to say to the woman who made the tape public after he failed to get her on the air!

"I don't know why you did what you did, but California is an "all party" consent state. It is illegal to record someone without their knowledge in CA and we were alone so I don't know how much you recorded or whether or not you're doing this for personal publicity but per my attorney if this goes further I'll have no choice but to make a criminal complaint."

Crooked cupid Ward was talking an entirely different tune when he first seduced the woman.

On the audio tape, the man ID'd as Ward, 32, can be heard assuring the call girl that she could expose him with his blessing if he didn't follow through on his promise.

"I promise I'll cast you," he said. "Or, you can out me. I mean, you have my text messages. You have our conversation. Out me! I'm just telling you that I promise you I will make a full-faith effort to get you to the very front of the line of casting. To introduce you to the head of the casting company."
