The war of words has heated up once more following last week’s spat between Annie Duke and Daniel Negreanu in which he called her a “f***ing c**t.”
PokerStars tried to respond to the row by saying it appreciated the fact that both players loved poker and liked to express themselves independently. They encouraged Daniel Negreanu to express his views as he deems fit and not let the fact that he’s a member of the PokerStars team shut him up.
Annie Duke was very pissed off when she became aware of the response from PokerStars and she started a media war against PokerStars’ defense of Negreanu even though they were sponsoring him as a PokerStars pro.
Duke questioned in her statement whether PokerStars will equally come to Negreanu’s defense if he made racist comments against Black people, jews or gay people. She blasted them for trying to distance themselves from statements made by Negreanu that were sexually degrading to her.
Annie Duke and Daniel Negreanu have always been at each other’s throat ever since they were both sponsored at UB. Negreanu had a problem with Duke’s site in addition to other personal problems.
He stated in a blog statement a couple of years ago that Duke was a cheat, dishonest as well as a bitch. The pair are still enemies and they don’t look like ending it soon.
