Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst claims that he did not get booted off from WWE’S SummerSlam on Sunday night for giving the middle finger in front of the camera. Fred’s reason for leaving the main arena was to apologize to the producers of the show.

According to media outlet TMZ, there have been various reports on the web claiming that 42-year-old Fred Durst was kicked out of the Staples Center in Los Angeles Sunday night because he flipped the bird in front of a camera during the broadcast of WWE.

A rep for the WWE said that the reports are nothing but false. Fred Durst did not get hauled out — instead, he just felt so bad following the obscene incident that he decided to went backstage as soon as possible and give his apologies to the producers of the show for his actions.

The WWE rep added, “We appreciate Fred’s apology.  However, we take our family-friendly environment very seriously and this was a violation of that.  We sincerely apologize to our fans.”

Aside from leaving early to apologize to the WWE producers, Fred Durst also claims he wanted to beat the legendary Los Angeles gridlock following the WWE show. He wrote a post on Twitter, writing, “I was leaving to beat the traffic! Haha, security escorting me out?? WWE is family. hahaha. Is this really a rumor? Amazing. My boys at WWE are cracking up! Note — never leave early to beat traffic!”

Fred Durst, who is best known as the vocalist of the multi-platinum rock band Limp Bizkit formed in 1994, has released six studio albums with the band. Since 2006, Fred has also become known for his work in independent films. He co-starred in the film “Population 436,” and in 2007, he made his directorial debut with the film “The Education of Charlie Banks.” In 2008, Durst directed a second film, “The Longshots,” and will direct another film, “Pawn Shop Chronicles,” which is currently in production.

Fred Durst, vocalist of multi-awarded band Limp Bizkit, is reportedly planning on axing two original members of their band.

According to reports, Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst is said to be looking for a “new vision” for the band since they were signed to Cash Money Records – and that “vision” does not seem to include members DJ Lethal and drummer, John Otto. Sources say that Fred Durst has been upset with the two Limp Bizkit members for a while, claiming their partying habits didn’t fit with his lifestyle.

However, the two guys haven’t been officially removed from Limp Bizkit, but they feel it might be headed in that direction unless they work out the issues with Fred Durst.

DJ Lethal said, “We’ve worked together the last four years to bring Limp Bizkit back to where it is today, and to just be thrown out on the street after the band gets a new deal and a new chance at life isn’t cool.” Lethal also added, “You can’t push away the people who helped you get there. The fans should know that if two-fifths of the original band are not playing at the concerts, it wont be truthful to them.”

DJ Lethal has also previously tweeted on Friday: “So far the only news I’ve heard is that Fred has plans for a ‘new’ LIMP BIZKIT which doesn’t include John Otto or I. I’m hoping for the best. From what I understand, Fred Durst doesn’t approve of our lifestyle which includes partying and fun. I don’t want to cause drama. It’s unfair.”

“I’ve tried to reach out and make things better. But Fred Durst seems to have made up his mind. Bands fight and argue all the time. I just don’t get it,” DJ Lethal continued. “This is not an April Fool’s joke, unfortunately. I love being in Limp Bizkit; it’s been my life for 15 years. A lot of good people and good times.”

“I’m not going to whine about it. I just had to vent because it’s pretty sad. And had to address all the fans going to a 1/2 BIZKIT show,” the DJ concluded.

Limp Bizkit recently announced plans to record a duet with Cash Money’s Lil Wayne as part of their new contract.
