| Hulk Hogan Wins $115M In Lawsuit Against Gawker |
| 2016-03-19 |
| Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of scumbags. Hulk Hogan may have earned his biggest victory in or out of the ring on Friday when a St. Petersburg, Florida jury awarded him $115 million in his invasion of privacy lawsuit against Gawker Media, which published clips of a 2012 sex tape he made with the wife of one of his friends. The professional wrestling and reality TV superstar sued the company that same year, seeking damages for defamation, loss of privacy and emotional pain. But wait - there's more! Amazingly, Hogan could be getting even more from the jury, as punitive damages have yet to be decided. The jury will meet again next week to consider that argument. I hope Gawker's required to immediately put a sizeable amount of that in escrow while they appeal. |
