Hulk Hogan not going down without a fight against the leak

Hogan accused two Gawker executives of leaking his sex tape breaching his privacy

This story has more twists than a full nelson. After last week’s revelation that Hulk Hogan was recorded making an “n-word”-laced rant, the WWE legend has responded by claiming the story may have been leaked by Gawker, the website he is suing for $100 million. In an emergency court filing, Hogan’s lawyers demand that the judge in the case — in which Hogan accuses Gawker of breaching his privacy by publishing a video showing him in compromising position, appoint an investigator to search cell phones and computers belonging to Gawker chief Nick Denton and former executive A.J Daulerio to prove that they were the ones who leaked the court sealed details from his sex tape with Heather Clem, including the “n word” scandal that was leaked by RadarOnline and The National Enquirer, leading WWE to terminate Hogan’s contract.

Hogan claims Denton leaked the story to hurt Hogan’s $100 million lawsuit against Gawker. In the documents filed, if Hogan’s suspicious are found to be true, Hogan wants anyone involved in the leak to be arrested and wants the judge to automatically declare him the winner in the $100 million lawsuit. Gawker on their part issued this statement to TMZ:

Hulk Hogan has only one person to blame for what he said and no one from Gawker had any role in leaking that information.
