Wrestler-turned-reality TV star Hulk Hogan has refiled his lawsuit against the website that leaked his sex tape after dismissing the action "without prejudice".

Hogan filed a $100 million lawsuit against the owners of Gawker.com shortly after the candid six-year-old footage of him making love with the wife of New York radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge hit the Internet in October.

He dismissed the lawsuit in federal court without prejudice last month, and refiled it in Florida state court this week, according to TMZ.com.

He is also suing his sex tape partner Heather Clem in the state, accusing her of leaking the footage to the media.

Hogan reportedly dismissed the federal case in order to consolidate his claims against both Clem and Gawker bosses.


He also sued Bubba the Love Sponge for unspecified damages -- accusing him of leaking the footage to the media -- but that lawsuit was settled, and the radio personality apologized on air.

$100 million?! Guess this will never end brother :hogan:

Suing everyone, he wants to bury the law.

He'll sell out courtrooms across the country brother, slamming those giant judges.

There are some phrases that simply should never appear in sentences. Things like, "He also sued Bubba the Love Sponge...."

I thought Bubba The Cum Sponge was Hogan's friend? Also, why should you be able to sue just because someone leaked a sex tape? I know it's private, but still, why else even make one unless you want others to see it? What a joke. (Celebrities usually leak the sex tape on their own for publicity.)

You're right, the guy is in his forties or later. Especially when talking about legal proceedings, use his real name.

It's Bubba the Love Sponge Clem right? :jeritroll:

Defamation of character, etc., etc. The whole thing is more amusing than anything though. If I were a judge or lawyer I'd have a hard time taking it seriously just because of the people involved and all that.

lol, exactly! Mr. Love Sponge Clem needs some respect, sheesh. I would even understand if they referenced his radio personality name to let others know who he is, but seriously..... "Bubba the Love Sponge" does not need to be his ID in a report. I see that and just cannot take the lawsuit or the report seriously. lol

It was recorded without Hulks knowledge apparently. It's illegal to record someone having sex without their knowledge in the State of Florida, where this took place.
