It was strategic legal move by Gawker to leak the unedited transcripts of Hogan’s racist and homophobic rants, if they did indeed leak it.
Was it illegal?
Probably, so if Hogan or investigators can prove it, they might be in some hot water. Here are the details via TMZ.
Hogan just filed new court docs in his sex tape lawsuit against Gawker — and in the docs, he asks a judge to launch a full-blown investigation into Denton and former Gawker exec A.J. Daulerio to prove they leaked confidential details from the sex tape video, including the n-word story.
In the video, shot in 2012 and published on Gawker, Hogan is seen having sex with a friend’s wife in a private bedroom. In an unpublished part of the tape, Hulk goes on a racist rant … using the n-word multiple times.
In legal docs, filed in a Florida state court, Hogan claims the judge in his $100 million lawsuit deemed the n-word portion of the video “confidential” — and blocked all parties from making it public.
In the court docs, Hulk says if an investigation proves his suspicions — he wants anyone involved in leaking the story LOCKED UP … and he also wants the judge to automatically declare him the winner in the $100 million lawsuit.
Hogan is going to have to pray he wins the case, because he won’t be getting any jobs with anyone anytime soon.
