Hes in a spot of bother 
On June 11, 2006, Diamond appeared on the Dean Blundell show in Toronto on 102.1 The edge revealing he was in fact "broke" and was having his mortgage called in by a person who financed the mortgage, as bad credit prevented him from getting a traditional mortgage.
On June 13, 2006, Diamond appeared on The Howard Stern Show. Diamond said he was given 30 days to come up with $250,000 USD or risk losing his home for failing to make payments on his land lease. Diamond said he blamed Arthur Giraldo who works for New York Capital Exchange, a mortgage broker who Diamond claims "screws over the working man then laughs at their expense"[2]. He decided to sell t-shirts for $15 that had "I gave 15 dollars to help Screeech [sic] save his house" emblazoned on the front. He said that he would need to sell 30,000 t-shirts to completely cover the costs. He explained the extra 'e' in Screeech was needed because of copyright laws, for he does not own the rights to the name or character.
On June 14, 2006, Diamond did a phone interview with MTV Live the flagship show for MTV Canada promoting the sale of his "D-Shirts" to save his home.
In June 2006, Dustin appeared on "The Hamish and Andy Show", an Australian (Melbourne based) radio station. His phone interview was due to a contest conducted by the two hosts of the radio show called "Where the Bloody Hell Are They Now?", which consists of a race between the two to find ex-celebrities. Diamond was one celebrity, Vanilla Ice was the other. During the interview, Dustin was asked what had his life become after fame and what he was up to at that moment. He appealed to listeners to buy his T-shirts online from his website, www.getdshirts.com, to help him save his house, and anyone who bought a "D-shirt" would also get it personally autographed for an extra $5.
On August 14, 2006, Diamond was scheduled for an online television telethon, in an effort to raise funds to prevent the foreclosure on his house. His broadcast was cancelled less than 90 minutes before it was to be aired live, as an executive at the startup online television network claimed that the foreclosure story lacked credibility, and that Diamond had "exhibited some really strange and obnoxious behavior." [3]
On September 2, 2006, Milwaukee Journal Sentinal reporter Mike Nichols posted an article making unsubstantiated claims that Diamond was a fraud and the whole story about Diamond losing his house was a publicity stunt.
On October 7, 2006, Milwaukee Journal Sentinal reporter Mike Nichols posted a follow up article with interviews of people who had not recieved t-shirts after months of waiting, possibly proving that this was a publicity stunt.
[edit] Sex tape
On September 27, 2006, the New York Daily News reported the existence of a sex tape with Diamond in it. According to the story, the tape features Dustin having a threesome, is 40 minutes long and has been tentatively titled Saved by the Smell, Screech and Sniff or Diamond in the Buff, due to the alleged performance of lewd sexual acts being given by Dustin. Diamond, who had his agent speak for him, mentioned that he was trying to obliterate the 'Screech' typecasting. It was later discovered that his agent spoke without first consulting his client.[1]
