Keyshawn Johnson insists he is not responsible for the mould in the home he sold Kourtney Kardashian.
The former NFL star has hit back at the pregnant 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star and her boyfriend, Scott Disick - who fled the $8.5 million mansion in Calabasas, California with their children, Mason, four, and Penelople, two, last night (18.08.14) after their interior decorator discovered dangerous fungus on the walls - amid rumours the couple are preparing to sue because they believe the problem was deliberately covered-up with paint before they purchased the house earlier this year.
The 42-year-old athlete told gossip website TMZ.com in a statement through his lawyer: "There was no water damage to the house I sold to Ms. Kardashian. It is a new home that I built less than 10 years ago. It never had any water or mould problems. Prior to sale, the house was thoroughly inspected by excellent, experienced inspectors that they hired. I don't know what has transpired since they moved into the house but I wish them well."
Another insider said Keyshawn never painted anything while he was living in the property for less than three years and believes the mould developed when a bathroom pipe leaked in the wall after the sale was finalised.
The source also insists Keyshawn lived in the house with his two children so would never knowingly have exposed his own family to the mould and claims Kourtney has been a nuisance since she moved in, contacting him at least 10 times to ask further questions.
The brunette beauty decided to check into a Beverly Hills hotel with her family last night, as she is concerned the mould could negatively impact the health of her children and unborn baby.

Julia Roberts and Danny Moder are set to be honoured for their humanitarian work.
The Oscar-winning actress and her husband, who have twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, nine, and son Henry, seven, will be presented with the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network's (GLSEN) Humanitarian Award at the 2014 Respect Awards in Los Angeles on October 17 for their work on 'The Normal Heart.'
The 46-year-old actress, who starred in the HBO film, and Danny, 45, who was the director of photography, will be celebrated for raising awareness about HIV via the movie, as well as helping charities, including UNICEF, Heal the Bay and Stand Up to Cancer.
In a statement today (19.08.14), GLSEN said: "We are proud to recognise Danny Moder and Julia Roberts, whose inspiring work on HBO's 'The Normal Heart' has brought renewed attention to an important movement - and an on-going crisis - in LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender] and American history."
An adaptation of Larry Kramer's 1985 play, 'The Normal Heart' is about the early years of the AIDS epidemic and is nominated for 11 Emmy Awards at next Monday's ceremony (25.08.14).
'Dancing with the Stars' performer Derek Hough, 29, will also be honored with the Inspiration Award at the 10th annual Respect Awards following the success of his book, 'Taking the Lead: Lessons From a Life in Motion,' which "epitomises GLSEN's commitment to storytelling and serves as a testament to the power of a strong work ethic, dedication to one's craft, and a spirit of perseverance."

Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi's best pal says her second pregnancy has made her scary.
Jenni 'JWoww' Farley, who gave birth to her first daughter, Meilani, last month, claims her former 'Jersey Shore' co-star has started behaving like something from the horror film 'The Exorcist,' as she gears up to welcome her own little girl into the world with fiancé Jionni LaValle, with whom she already has a two-year-old son, Lorenzo.
The 28-year-old reality TV star told E! News: "She's been saying a lot that she had no idea how different pregnancies can be, and she's been asking me a lot of questions like I used to ask her. She is not happy."
She added: "I hated my pregnancy. They say [baby girls] take your estrogen so your hormones are more depleted.
"I don't know if that's true or not because I never had a boy, but I'm looking at Nicole - she loved the pregnancy with Lorenzo. This one, I'm scared of her. It's like 'The Exorcist.' "
Meanwhile, Jenni admits it only took her a few weeks to shed the 30 pounds she gained during her pregnancy.
She said: "A lot of my girlfriends hate me! Two-and-a-half weeks after I had her, I was down to my previous weight."
But she added: "I'm jiggly in places that should not jiggle. So I lost probably a lot of muscle and replaced it with just, it looks like the wave. When I stop, it keeps moving!"

Jennifer Lopez was spotted driving around Los Angeles with ex-boyfriend Casper Smart yesterday (18.08.14).
The 'On The Floor' hitmaker, who amicably split from the back-up dancer in June after two and a half years of dating, has sparked speculation she has rekindled her romance with the 27-year-old choreographer.
The 45-year-old singer, who has six-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, reportedly attempted to hide when paparazzi started taking pictures of them together in her white BMW convertible while Casper was behind the wheel.
But an insider told E! News: "Casper has an enormous amount of respect for Jennifer and her kids. He still loves her and cares about the kids. Nothing has really chanced since they split regarding their relationship and nothing romantic is going on."
Jennifer was recently linked to 'Dancing with the Stars' performer Maksim Chmerkovskiy, 34, who attended a belated private birthday party for the actress, who celebrated her birthday in July, last week.
Another source recently insisted they are taking their relationship slowly, adding: "She does not want to get her kids involved in meeting another guy yet.
"This is so new. There has been a date here and there, but really they are good friends before anything else. Maks asks her for advice and she thinks he is super-talented and very hot. Obviously that is hard to ignore."

Bruce Willis has sold his luxurious Beverly Hills home for $16.5 million.
The 'Die Hard' actor, who has two daughters, Mabel, two, and Evelyn, three months, with wife Emma Heming, and three daughters, Rumer, 25, Scout, 23, and Tallulah, 20, with ex-wife Demi Moore, originally put the Spanish-style property on the market for $22 million in May 2013, but finally found a buyer after dropping the price by 20 percent, according to real estate website Redfin.com.
The 59-year-old actor purchased the five-bedroom property, which boasts an outdoor swimming pool, private tennis court and lush landscaped gardens, for $9 million in 2004.
But after carrying out "major renovations," Bruce and Emma recently decided to move into their $8.8 million condo overlooking Central Park in New York City permanently to be closer to his daughters, Tallulah and Scout, who both live in the city.
Budding blogger Tallulah reportedly checked into a rehab facility in Arizona last month after admitting she "struggled" with body dysmorphia and an eating disorder when she was younger.
A source previously: "Tallulah was pretty much given an ultimatum. Her parents were about to take away everything from her."
Bruce is also currently trying to sell his home in Idaho's Sun Valley.
The 'Looper' star put the property on the market for $15 million more than two years ago, and recently slashed the price for the fourth time to $8.8 million.

Kourtney Kardashian has moved her family into a hotel after finding dangerous mould in her new house.
The pregnant reality TV star, who already has son Mason, four, and daughter Penelope, two, with boyfriend Scott Disick, checked into the Montage hotel in Beverly Hills last night (18.08.14) after her interior decorator reportedly informed her that her $8.5 million mansion in Calabasas, California is infested with mould.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that Kourtney, who purchased the property from NFL star Keyshawn Johnson, is ready to sue anyone who's responsible, as she believes the problem was deliberately covered-up with a coat of paint.
The decorator only discovered the mould when he was installing some new fixtures in the house.
The famous family, who recently returned from a two-month stint in the Hamptons, where the 35-year-old was filming her upcoming E! series, 'Kourtney & Khloé Take The Hamptons,' decided it was too dangerous to move back into the house because Kourtney is five months pregnant with her third child.
The brunette beauty and Scott, 31, purchased the sprawling six-bedroom, nine-bathroom mansion earlier this year.
The house was originally put on the market in December 2012 for $10.5 million, but Johnson dropped the price twice after having issues with his former neighbour Justin Bieber, who later sold his house in the exclusive gated community to Kourtney's younger sister Khloé Kardashian, 30.

Adam Driver says being discharged from the Marines was "painful."
The 'Girls' actor, who enlisted in the US army after the terrorist attacks in New York City on September 11, 2001, admits being forced to return home two years into his training after breaking his sternum on a mountain bike still "f**kin' kills" him, as he wanted to serve his country with his fellow recruits.
The 30-year-old star told the September issue of GQ magazine: "It just seemed like a badass thing to do, to go and shoot machine guns and serve your country.
"To not get to go with that group of people I had been training with was...painful."
The 'This Is Where I Leave You' star later set up the organisation, Arts in the Armed Forces, with his wife, Joanne Tucker, which deploys actors to entertain military bases.
He explained: "Here's the thing: Life's s***ty, and we're all gonna die. You have friends, and they die. You have a disease, someone you care about has a disease, Wall Street people are scamming everyone, the poor get poorer, the rich get richer--that's what we're surrounded by all the time. We don't understand why we're here, no one's giving us an answer, religion is vague, your parents can't help because they're just people, and it's all terrible, and there's no meaning to anything. What a terrible thing to process! Every. Day. And then you go to sleep. But then sometimes, things can suspend themselves for like a minute, and then every once in a while there's something where you find a connection."
Meanwhile, Adam, who is the son of devout Baptists, didn't tell his parents about his success on 'Girls' until after the second season.
He said: "We have different views on the world. They have their life; I have mine."

Lauren Goodger entered the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house to prove she isn't a "b***h".
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star is determined to show a "sweet" side to her character on the current series of the Channel 5 reality show - which kicked off last night (18.08.14) - and hopes to rubbish rumours she is difficult and confrontational following her departure from the "staged" ITV2 show.
When asked which of her qualities she is hoping to show off in the house, the 27 year old told new! magazine: "My funny, sweet, kind, soft and laid-back side.
"People are always surprised by how different I am in real life. I'm not a confrontational, feisty, hard b***h."
She added: "It's a great opportunity to show who I am. It's not like TOWIE, where a lot of it is staged and I have to be a specific character.
Lauren - who famously pushed her ex-boyfriend Mark Wright in a pool while they rowed on an episode of the Essex-set reality show - has also vowed to avoid fighting with her housemates, unless she feels "mugged off".
She explained: "I won't let anyone mug me off, but I have no reason to get into any spats. It won't be like on TOWIE where they want me to row with an ex.
"I'll just walk away and not retaliate. I'll just rise above them."

Mischa Barton is being sued for over $300,000.
The 28-year-old actress - who hasn't had a successful acting project since the 'O.C.' ended in 2006 - is the subject of a lawsuit from the producers of movie 'Promoted' who claim she missed working on the film because she was partying in Europe.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, movie bosses attempted to contact Mischa about a March 4 start date and sizing her costumes but got no response.
The day before they were due to begin work, the actress' mother sent an email which read: "Mischa is still in Europe and won't be available until the 20th of this month."
And the company then saw several posts on the actress' social media accounts which revealed she was on vacation and partying in Italy, as well as "enjoying tourist excursions with friends."
As a result of Mischa's absence, the lead actor didn't want to work with another actress, causing more problems for the production.
Producers are suing their former star for her $20,000 advance, $200,000 in marketing expenses and $100,000 which they say they will lose because she is no longer attached to the film.
The legal battle is the latest problem to hit Mischa as it comes just weeks after it was reported she is close to losing her home.
The eight-bedroom Beverly Hills mansion - which is worth over $8 million - has been placed in foreclosure after she failed to keep up with her mortgage repayments for the last five months, leaving her $100,000 in arrears.

Harry Styles turned down the chance to play Cara Delevigne's love interest in a movie.
The One Direction hunk - who was romantically linked with the British model last year - was offered a role in Harvey Weinstein's star-studded film 'Tulip Fever' but had to turn down the part alongside Cara, Dame Judi Dench, Christoph Waltz and Zach Galifianakis because of his touring commitments with the band.
Harvey told MailOnline: "I offered Harry a role in 'Tulip Fever' but he was touring so he had to turn it down.
"The part ended up going to Matthew Morrison and let me tell you this, the very first scene he shot was one of him kissing Cara Delevingne.
"So I'm sure Harry won't be turning be down the next role I offer him."
The movie mogul was disappointed the 'Little Things' singer turned down his approach as he thinks he has huge potential to do well on the big screen.
He added: "He's like Errol Flynn, he's got that swashbuckling charm. Definite star potential. I think he'd be great. No question.."
However, Harry isn't the only pop star who Harvey is looking to work with as the producer is planning a soundtrack to his new Broadway show 'Finding Neverland' - which features music written by Gary Barlow - with an all-star line-up.
He said: "Gary and I and Rick Rubin are putting a concept album for the show together.
'We're talking to Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys and Jennifer Hudson. I'd love to get Ed Sheeran on there. Rick is talking to Pink. The songs will be arranged differently, like pop songs but it will tell the story of the musical."

Cindy Crawford has withdrawn her children from school.
The 48-year-old supermodel and her husband Rande Gerber have decided not to allow Presley, 15, and Kaia, 12, to return to Malibu High School after routine soil tests found elevated levels of PCBs - chemicals which can cause cancer and damage immune and reproductive systems - in window caulking in four of 10 classrooms checked at random.
Cindy said: "I don't feel 100 percent safe....
"I look 10 years down the line. What if my kid, God forbid, had a problem?. How could I live with myself if I knew that it was a possibility and I still sent them to school there?"
The school plan to remove caulk from the classrooms and periodically monitor for air and dust, but Cindy - who earned a university scholarship to study chemical engineering before embarking on a modelling career - doesn't think they are doing enough because PCB levels can vary from week to week.
Speaking to Maria Shriver for 'Today', she said: "I'm very frustrated and I'm very disappointed at the way this has been handled.
"The problem is, for me, is that they haven't tested the source.
"I think that air testing and water testing are a great piece of the puzzle. Unless they're testing every day, how do I know that every day it's safe for my kid?"
Cindy has even offered to fund more PCB testing herself and thinks laws around the problem need to change.
She argued: "This is not a Malibu issue. This is really an issue in a lot of older schools."
"I just think the laws need to be changed."
Malibu High School insisted student health and safety is its "first priority".
They added: "Using federal EPA students, our schools are safe for students and employees."

Taylor Swift likes to be "challenged" by her friends.
The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' hitmaker - who counts Selena Gomez and Ed Sheeran among her closest pals - likes to spend her time around "smart, exciting people" and says they inspire her to be at her best.
Speaking on 'Good Morning America', she said: "I choose my friends based on people I have things in common with or people who challenge me.
"Honestly, I think that there's something really inspiring about being around people who know what they want, people who are passionate about something. You want to be around smart, exciting people -- I think that that brings you up."
The 24-year-old beauty also spoke of the message behind her new single, 'Shake It Off'. and how people should try not to worry about those who "don't understand" them and defy their mean comments by "having fun".
She added: "The message in the song is a problem we all deal with, an issue we deal with on a daily basis -- we don't live just in a celebrity takedown culture, we live in a takedown culture.
"People will find anything about you and twist it to where it's weird or wrong or annoying or strange or bad. You have to not only live your life in spite of people who don't understand you, you have to have more fun than they do."
