– A Florida jury on Friday awarded Hulk Hogan $115
million
– “I do not have a 10-inch penis” – Hulk Hogan
Buzzfeed reported that a Florida jury on Friday awarded
Hulk Hogan $115 million in his lawsuit against Gawker,
finding the media company violated the wrestler’s privacy
by posting a 90-second clip of him having sex with the
wife of his best friend, Bubba the Love Sponge.
“The verdict in his favor came after a three-week trial in
which jurors heard testimony from Hogan and several
Gawker employees, including founder Nick Denton and
former editors A.J. Daulerio and Emma Carmichael. The
jury deliberated for less than six hours,” the source stated.
Hogan thanked God for the outcome of the case via his
twitter.
Denton vowed to appeal the case: “We have already begun
preparing, as we expect to win this case ultimately.”
“Given that key evidence and the most important witness
were both improperly withheld from this jury, we all know
the appeals court will need to resolve the case,” Denton
said.

The clip, though posted in 2012, was recorded in 2007
Describing the impact that the release of the tape had on
his life Hogan said: “I’m torn, my family is torn. It turned
my world upside down. I was depressed. I was at a low
point in my life and when Bubba said to come to his
house, I was just desperate and I went over there and one
thing led to another.
