Dustin Diamond Says He’s Not Afraid of Mario Lopez and Mark Paul Gosselaar

He may have become famous playing scrawny nerd Screech, but in real life Dustin Diamond would happily face his (buffer and bigger) Saved By The Bell co-stars if they wanted revenge over his recent tell-all book.

His shocking allegations

Diamond’s full PopEater interview

“I'm more dangerous with martial arts than Mark-Paul [Gosselaar] or Mario [Lopez] ever was. I'm not the character Screech,” Diamond said. “The last thing they'd want to do is harm me in any way, because then that's a whole new legal battle and paparazzi thing. I can own all of Mario's, um, hosting shoes. What does he have?”

In his book Behind the Bell, Diamond references a rape accusation against Lopez (“It’s public record. It’s in the L.A. County court systems,” he told Popeater.) and alleges Gosselaar took steroids while he shot the spin-off “Saved By The Bell: The College Years.”

Diamond says the book wasn’t aimed to bash his co-stars and admits he doesn’t come away unscathed either. His reason for the book was simply to get the real story that people were interested out there.

“I don't throw anyone under the bus more than myself and it's an honest account of what we went through.”

EXCLUSIVE: Saved By The Bell Screech Sued For Taxes, Has Car Repossessed

Train wreck actor Dustin Diamond is being sued for more than $21,000 in unpaid property taxes and had his car repossessed, RadarOnline.com learned exclusively.

The 32-year-old actor, who found fame playing dorky Samuel “Screech” Powers on the TV hit Saved By The Bell , seems to have hit hard times judging by financial court actions against him.

RadarOnline.com discovered that Screech was sued by Ford Motor Credit Company on November 26, 2008, for $544 which resulted in the repossession of his 2005 Ford Expedition. And he hasn’t been saved by the bell from the Department of Revenue in Wisconsin, either. On June 30 of this year Screech was sued by the department for $21,015.62 in unpaid taxes against his property in Port Washington, Wisconsin.

See the court papers

He previously had been tagged with a small claim by the Wisconsin Electric Power Company, on March 3, 2009. That was settled.

After Saved By The Bell ended in 2000 Diamond appeared in a few reality shows, including The Weakest Link, Celebrity Boxing 2 and Celebrity Fit Club.

In 2006 he infamously starred in a porn tape Screeched, aka Saved By The Smell, which showed him engaging in various acts with two women.

Diamond - who has also done stints as a stand-up comic – claimed that the tape was leaked as a mistake but his manager conceded that he hoped it might raise his profile.

EXCLUSIVE: Dustin “Screech” Diamond Banned From Saved By The Bell Reunion By Costars

Dustin Diamond who played the loveable, but nerdy “Screech” on the late 80s/early 90s Saturday morning sitcom Saved by the Bell wasn’t invited to a recent cast reunion photo shoot for the cover of this week’s People magazine. And RadarOnline.com has the reason why.

“Cast members were not comfortable with including him,” People magazine spokeswoman Claudia DiRomualdo told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

The reason behind their being “uncomfortable” is Diamond’s upcoming tell-all book about the Saved by the Bell cast and guest stars. While Diamond’s literary agent promises the book will be an incredible read, one former co-star is already slamming the kid star-turned author.

"What is he going to say?" Mark-Paul Gosselaar sarcastically told Newsweek magazine.  "We were (bleeping) groupies at 14? I can't wait to read his book, because I don't have a memory of a lot of the shows. Maybe it was because I was doing lines off of the audience members' asses. I'm sure he's going to write something crazy like that. So him writing a book, I'm not really afraid of what he has to say. There are not too many skeletons in my closet."

Since his days as a child star, Diamond has fallen on hard times, including a fading acting career, financial problems, and the release of an embarrassing sex tape.

That means Diamond likely also won’t be included if the cast – Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkley, Lark Voorhies and Tiffani Thiessen -- reunites for a possible TV special. There are rumors that a retrospective show is in the works with the stars talking about their on-set experiences.

And what does Diamond think about being shut out by his former coworkers? "Of course he cared he wasn't invited," a source close to Screech told RadarOnline.com.  "Wouldn't you?"
