Hulk Hogan awarded another $25M in s*x tape lawsuit

 

 

More victory for Hulk Hogan as Gawker Media has been ordered to pay an additional $15 million to Hulk Hogan, on top of the $115 million in damages that were announced on Friday.

The company's founder, Nick Denton, has also been ordered to pay $10 million, while former site editor-in-chief A.J. Daulerio has to pay $100,000.

Altogether, it's just over another $25 million for Hogan in his s*x tape case, bringing the suit's total judgement close to $140 million.

Hogan has been suing Gawker for posting a video of him having s*x, claiming that its publication invaded his privacy. Gawker argued that the material was newsworthy because of Hogan's celebrity status and prior comments on his s*x life, therefore making it appropriate to publish.
