ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan says he was “completely humiliated” by the publication of a video showing him having sex with his then-best friend’s wife.
Testifying Monday, March 7, 2016, in his privacy lawsuit against the Gawker website, Hogan said he did not authorize the tape to be made or authorize Gawker to publish it. Hogan said when he realized that his then-best friend, radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge Clem, was involved in making the tape, he began shaking uncontrollably.
Earlier, Hogan testified that he initially thought it was a joke when Clem said his wife wanted to have sex with Hogan. He testified that the Clems had an open marriage.
Hogan is suing Gawker for $100 million for publishing the sex videotape.
