HULK HOGAN’S SEX TAPE TRIAL DELAYED

By Dave Scherer on 2015-07-02 13:15:47

Hulk Hogan’s “Sex Tape” trial, where he was going after Gawker.com for posting a snippet of the sex tape where Hogan had sex with Heather Clem, then-wife of his friend Bubba “The Love Sponge” Clem, was scheduled to being on Monday, July 6.  The start date has been postponed by three judges at the Florida Second District Court of Appeal, stating that the trial date was set too quickly after the pleadings in the case, which took place on June 19.  They said that the court docket was already full.

Hogan has stated that the tape was made without his knowledge and he felt that beyond that, it was a private video.  Gawker.com is arguing that it was newsworthy and thus should be allowed to be posted.

Hogan settled with Heather Clem earlier this week.

No new trial date has been set yet.
