ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Testimony in Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker Media grew extremely explicit Tuesday, March 8, 2016, with detailed references to Hogan's sex life and sexual parts.
Hogan is suing Gawker for posting an edited version of a sex tape of him and Clem's wife, taken in Clem's bedroom.
Under cross-examination, an attorney for the media company played several clips and showed exhibits that indicated Hogan has publicly discussed sex and other intimate details about his life over the course of many years.
A broadcast engineer who worked for Florida-based radio personality Bubba The Love Sponge Clem said he installed a videocamera in Clem's bedroom. David Rice testified that someone needed to manually push a button to make a recording with the camera.
In other testimony, Tony Burton, a talent agent for a radio competitor of Clem's, said he provided the sex video to Gawker. The agent for Mike Calta, said he didn't get it from Calta, but from someone Calta knew.
Two employees of Gawker media explained web analytics.
Hogan is suing Gawker for $100 million over publication of the video.
Testimony concluded for the day, and will resume Wednesday morning.
