Tampa Radio: Bubba Won't Have to Testify

Bubba Clem

Bubba the Love Sponge Clem won’t be forced to testify in the $100-million lawsuit filed against Gawker Media by Terry Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan.

According to BayNews9, the judge granted Clem's wish not to be forced to take the stand because he would perjure himself despite Gawker wanting to call him as a key witness. But the Gawker attorney admits getting Clem to tell the truth is a problem.

"We are in a bit of a bind because Mr. Clem is a pathological untrustworthy person,” said Michael Berry, Gawker attorney.

Attorneys for Gawker say Clem has made conflicting statements about whether Hogan knew there was a hidden camera in the bedroom. Gawker says Hogan settled his lawsuit against Bubba for $5,000.
