Hulk Hogan Is Suing Gawker For Allegedly Leaking His Racist Rant

The saga continues.

Remember when Hulk Hogan was awarded $140 million in damages from Gawker Media for their role in his sex tape scandal? It looks like that’s not all Gawker will owe him, as the Hulkster’s going back to the well.

Per the New York Post, the disgraced wrestling legend has filed a second suit against Gawker for allegedly leaking the racist tirades from the sex tapes to The Enquirer and getting him fired from WWE in the first place. The new suit says Hogan’s “income was cut off, his legacy in entertainment was severely damaged (if not completely destroyed), and his global brand was forever tarnished.” Well, we can’t argue with that.

In the new suit, Hogan is also going after a group of Florida residents, including another radio DJ named Mike “Cowhead” Calta, for sending at least one of his secretly recorded sex tapes to Gawker.

Law enforcement officials declined to pursue criminal charges against Calta and others involved in the alleged leak.

Gawker is appealing the $140 million jury verdict over the first sex tape and has denied that it leaked the sealed transcript to the Enquirer.

In other words,



We’ll keep you updated on the story as it develops, and whether or not it involves more unsettling conversations about kayfabed penis lengths.

No one has ever rewarded him for being racist. None of the money he is receiving or attempting to receive is pertaining to racism or his lack thereof.

If i tell you i like chocolate ice cream and you tell others about it without my consent and I win a case against you for it, no one is rewarding me because I like that ice cream. They are punishing you for leaking confidential material.

I thought the audio was leaked last year when they fired him...


And I'll say it once again, where I live a racist is for example some restaurant owner who refuses to attend people of other races, or a bully who only attacks people of other races.
Not someone who says a stupid word overrated in importance.

He doesn't deserve to have his personal life publicly displayed without permission, but he also never deserved all the entitlements he lost due to him being a racist dickhead. He has been a poor representative of wrestling as he gets older and older. I wouldn't want him speaking for my company so he got what he deserved on that end. Hopefully gawker gets shut down. Still, Hogan doesn't need more money. This is all so morally gray.

Gawker needs to tap out brother.

He needs to take his money and just leave it be. Gawker should say to him that they leaked the tape of Hilk Hogan's racist comments, not Terry Bollea's.......
