The trial for Hulk Hogan’s $100 million lawsuit against Gawker.com will begin later month. Jury selection started today in Tampa, Florida.
Hogan is suing the website for leaking clips from a sex tape featuring Hogan and Bubba the Love Sponge’s then-wife Heather Clem. Hogan wasn’t aware he was being filmed at the time. The tape was stolen from the office of Bubba by a staff member who leaked clips and then tried to sell the tape. The FBI were eventually involved.
Hogan tweeted the following today:
Time for the real main event!”I AM” going to slam another Giant! Hogan vrs Gawker! Watcha Gonna Do Gawker? Only Justice Brother HH
