#Hulk hogan tape gawker trial
Petersburg.Ĭharles Harder, who is Hogan's lead trial counsel, said that Denton had received two cease and desist demands the day after the video was published. Gawker's bid to get the case tossed failed and a jury trial is now set to begin July 6 in St. But Gawker refused to delete an article accompanying the footage and the story still exists on the site today (it has racked up more than 5 million clicks). Hogan and Bubba were close friends before the sex tape leaked and the two men had a falling out.Īfter legal wrangling, Gawker was forced to remove the video. The tape, which was recorded in 2006, showed Hulk Hogan (real name: Terry Bollea) having sex with Heather Clem, who was married at that time to radio host "Bubba the Love Sponge Clem." Another man's voice, which many people believe is Bubba, can be heard in the recording.
