#1 The racist remarks recorded on his sex tape
Nothing has damaged Hulk Hogan’s personal and private life more than this shocking revelation. Hogan was recorded saying some extremely disparaging remarks towards African Americans, and used a particularly offensive racial slur when describing them as well.
These remarks were all recorded and published online, which caused Hogan’s public perception to be damaged to the point of being irreparable. Shortly after this was all made public, Hogan was fired from WWE and became persona non-grata in the company.
Despite some of his former colleagues coming to his defence against a widely-scathing public reaction, Hogan’s reputation as a role model and respectable public figure has been almost washed away completely.
While he did win his lawsuit against the website that first leaked that incriminating tape, that won’t be enough to absolve him of the horrible mistake he made on that fateful day.
