Hulk Hogan thought of the biggest number he could and then sued Gawker, Bubba The Love Sponge, and Heather Clem for $100M for recording Hulk having sex with Heather without his permission and Gawker for releasing one minute of the tape. Apparently Bubba and Hulk are still friends and Bubba said that he is not the one who released the minute of tape. Would Heather do it? She is supposedly embarrassed she ever had sex with the guy, but maybe she needed the money. No one has really explained what happened to the tape after it was made. Bubba and Heather can be heard discussing how they can retire if they decided to sell it. Hulk meanwhile, wants the rights to the tape for himself and then plans on selling it himself. A guy has to make a living somehow.
TOTAL set-up. Bubba 'settles', Gawker is the one who really pays, and Hulk, Bubba, and maybe even random woman all profit.
ReplyDeleteTOTAL last gasp at fame & retirement money.
Sorry, JMO, Hulk-a-maniacs (runnin' wild)!
ReplyDeleteHe's asking for $100,000 grand bc 3 people with freakishly strong stomachs had to watch his sex tape bc they lost a bet?
ReplyDeleteThose TNA debts must be stacking up, brother!!!
ReplyDelete@kats - 100-MILLION. That seems like a stretch, right? This reeks of desperate scheme.
ReplyDeleteOops thanks! I guess Hulk has a dr Evil fantasy
DeleteThey are all pathetic individuals.
ReplyDeleteI have no earthly idea why anyone would want to see this. Gross!!! It gives me the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it, ugh.
ReplyDeleteNot true, he wants it destroyed.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ discoflux!!! I totally read that in Hulk's voice!
ReplyDeleteThis is what troubles me about Gawker's "expose" of the Reddit troll - not in his defense. Gawker is incredibly hypocritical in its righteousness of what that guy was doing, given that it is Gawker's bread and butter. Just off the top of my in the past couple of years (covering multiple Gawker Media outlets):
ReplyDelete-Posted a video of a drunk woman having sex in the bathroom at Cowboys Stadium;
- Solicited information from the "person who gave Magic Johnson HIV";
-Wrote a detailed history of infamous internet meme "Goatse" - which I am still trying to scrub from my brain;
-Posted the Hulk Hogan video and accompanying narrative description (because the video clip itself was kept very brief);
-Ran with a post claiming a naked, spread eagled picture of Juliette Lewis (that as I recall was not even behind a jump), which ultimately turned out to be someone fairly anonymous.
I think there was another drunk stadium posting as well that was taken down after strong evidence came to light that the woman depicted was being sexually assaulted.
Reddit troll definitely got what he had coming, including unemployment. But Gawker is not a white knight of internet propriety.
Which is a long-winded way of saying, in spite of how little I want to say this, well: Team Hulk.
This tape was made and publicized a while ago, right? I saw that Hogan was whining about it on TV last week, and I thought that if he hadn't said anything about it, I never would have known or cared. Now, I know, but I don't care.
ReplyDeleteI could see paying to see some female celebrity's sex tape, especially a woman whose looks are a big part of her attraction (that would be most of them, I guess), but who would pay to see some old, washed-up fake athlete's sex tape? The only reason I might want to see it would be so I could laugh at him.
I wouldn't be surprised if she released it. Her and Bubba had a prenup and she walked away with zilch. And you know she did t marry Bubba for his looks or personality.
ReplyDeleteAnd people think honey boo boo is tacky? This whole family wrote the book!! Ugh
ReplyDeleteHow is Hulk Hogan not already super rich?
ReplyDelete@g.strathmore - his ex-wife took him for all his $$$$ - plus his son turning his friend into a vegetable cost him a lot too.
ReplyDeleteHis wife got 73% of everything.
ReplyDeleteWhy did his wife get so much? Was he that bad of a husband? (I have a kind of soft spot for the Hulkster.) I mean, maybe he cheated but she seems like a ho bag too.
ReplyDeletewho can I sue for having to see his giant slim jim being exposed and that friar tuck hairdo? I am blind in one eye now.
ReplyDeleteRofl omg!!!
DeleteHe's also whined about how the people behind the Foreman grill came to him first, weren't able to reach him and then called George. George agreed to be their spokesperson and history was made.
ReplyDeleteWho do I sue for the mental anguish of knowing that this tape exists?
ReplyDeleteI should be able to sue someone for the cost of brain bleach needed.
ReplyDeleteAs of yesterday (Tuesday), I'll say that Bubba and Hogan are no longer friends. Bubba spent most of his show yesterday just trashing Hogan, calling him 'one-way' (meaning that Hogan expects to receive things, but won't offer the same in return). Bubba said he told Hogan to keep his mouth shut and how it'll blow over, but Hogan didn't.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe Bubba or Heather released it, but not sure about Hogan...
