Super Bowl winning quarterback “Big” Ben Roethlisberger said Thursday that the allegations made by a Lake Tahoe casino hostess are “reckless and false.”

The 31-year-old Nevada woman filed a civil lawsuit alleging the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback raped her in a hotel penthouse last year.  Roethlisberger called the allegations totally “outrageous.”

“It wasn’t a penthouse,” Roethlisberger said.  “It was a suite.”
