Hogan has already won $140 million from Gawker (they are appealing that judgment), but Hogan isn’t done, he is suing Gawker for a second time.
After his $140 million legal victory against the gossip website, the famous pro wrestler has filed a second lawsuit over his surreptitiously recorded sex tapes — hitting the site with a new claim for allegedly leaking sealed court documents to the National Enquirer that quoted him making racists remarks.
Hogan says Gawker slipped the transcript, which was filed under seal in the then-pending suit between the two parties over a second sex tape with the same woman, Heather Clem. At the time, Clem was married to Hogan’s best friend, radio shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.
The National Enquirer published the story, which “Gawker had been threatening to release publicly for months,” in July, according to the suit.
The Enquirer is not included in the new lawsuit.
