Hogan with Big Win in Court

Hulk Hogan has recently been in the news for a sex tape that was recorded of him and his best friends wife. Gawker got their hands on the video and released a length story titled "even for a minute, watching hulk hogan have sex in a canopy bed in not safe for work but watch it anyways." A Florida Jury found that Gawker had invaded hogans privacy by publishing the clip and awarded hogan a massive $115 million. We ask you to protect something that some of you may find unpleasant,” Gawker attorney Michael Sullivan told the jury in closing arguments. “To write, to speak, to think about all topics, to hold public figures accountable. It is right in the long run for our freedoms.” There is somewhat of an anything goes when it comes to filing celebrities these days especially now with this incident with Hogan. It is another case of a forward hitting news outlet trying to push the envelope but by doing so taking it to far which for Gawker it could cost them $115 dollars.
