Tampa Radio: Hogan-Gawker Lawsuit Trial Starts July 6

Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan, also known as Terry Bollea, is preparing to take Gawker to trial over a sex tape that they leaked. Hogan’s trial is set for July 6 in Florida and it is one of the first times that a celebrity, who is suing over a leaked sex tape, is getting a jury.

Gawker claimed that the sex tape features Hulk Hogan and Heather Clem, the ex-wife of WBRN 98.7 FM radio personality and Hogan’s friend “Bubba the Love Sponge.” The story, which was published in 2012, received well over 2.5 million views and now Hogan is suing Gawker for $100 million.

The Inquisitr reports court documents are showing that Hogan is suing for injury, damage, harm, loss, anxiety, embarrassment, humiliation, shame, and server emotionally distress.
