Lenny Dykstra denies a porn star pickoff move

Nails is hammering back amid reports that he stole jewelry from porn star and Charlie Sheen ex Brett Rossi.

Lenny Dykstra, the former Mets focal point fielder nicknamed “Nails” for his tough play, told the Day after day News’ Christian Red that a TMZ Sports report claiming he swindled Rossi is “ridiculous.” According to the report posted Tuesday, Rossi said Dykstra existing to help her sell some jewelry, including “a diamond pea green bracelet and one set of diamond earrings.” But when Rossi, the star of skin flicks like “Nice Shoes … Wanna F—?,” questioned for the jewelry back, she claims Dykstra returned just the earrings. The problem there was that the diamonds were replaced with fake ones, according to Rossi.

“Sounds like the porn-star mentality of trying to get any publicity she can get,” Dykstra told The News from his California home. “I’m not going to note on something so ridiculous. I place of protection’t talked to (Rossi) in forever.” Questioned if he ever dated Rossi, Dykstra laughed “No. Dating porn stars is not my style.” “I trusted him, like you would trust a friend,” Rossi told us. “I think he sold all the jewelry and kept the money. Iknow I made a mistake.” Rossi added that she’s willing to put her case in front of a judge.

Dykstra wasn’t as diplomatic. “It sounds like a desperate porn star trying to get attention,” he said. “Once a porn star, always a porn star.” Rossi was engaged to Sheen last year before calling it quits.
