Dwight Howard admitted living a down-low lifestyle and hooking up with various men. Howard is facing a lawsuit by a man who accused him of s*xual assault and forcing him to participate in a threesome with another male.

RadarOnline.com has obtained text messages exchanged between Howard and accuser Stephen Harper.

“Thinking About That Meat,” Howard wrote in one text exchange.

“Now I want you to know I’m not like gay or anything. I’m jus a lil nasty sometimes. Ion wanna offend you,” he wrote in another text.

Harper accused Howard of alleged assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment.

Howard, who was playing pro basketball overseas, admitted in court documents to hooking up with a transsexual for a threesome. But he said the s*x was consensual.

Howard’s attorney claims Harper made false allegations against his client.

“The three agreed to touch one another and to engage in consensual sexual activity,” his attorney said in court documents.

Howard wants the lawsuit thrown out of court.
