• Hulk Hogan Got Hit With a $10 Million Lawsuit Before Death
On The Ariel Helwani Show, Ric Flair revealed that he warned Hulk Hogan about a potentially dangerous business partnership just weeks before the wrestling icon was hit with a massive $10 million lawsuit. Flair said he spoke to Hogan multiple times to intervene.
“I called him three times and talked to him in the last month because I thought he was getting involved in a situation that is not right for him business-wise,” Flair said. “For once he didn’t heed my warning – and then he got hit with that $10 million lawsuit.”
According to Flair, Hogan had a reputation for being a sharp businessman, but this time he fell victim. “This guy that jerked him around this time… sometimes you just want to believe so much, and you try so hard. He’s such a giving guy.”
• “Letting Hulk Hogan Sleep With My Wife Was a Huge Mistake” – Hogan’s Ex-Friend
During an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Bubba the Love Sponge admitted he deeply regrets allowing Hulk Hogan to sleep with his then-wife – a decision that would ultimately destroy their decades-long friendship. “Yes. The answer very simply is yes,” Bubba said when asked if he regretted the infamous $ex tape situation. “Times a million. I wish that… you know, Hogan was living with me at the time. It was when he was probably at the low point of his life. He was living with me.”
Bubba explained that he and his wife were in a somewhat open relationship, and he made the fateful decision in an attempt to lift Hogan’s spirits.
“We had… my wife and I had somewhat of an open relationship. I was trying to cheer my buddy up,” he revealed. “And it just – it was a complete mistake on my behalf. And I truly wish it would have never happened.”
The $ex tape, which was secretly recorded and later leaked online, would become the center of a massive legal firestorm that led to the downfall of Gawker and headlines around the world. But for Bubba, the personal fallout was even more devastating – his friendship with Hogan was never repaired.
Despite his role in the encounter, Bubba maintained during the interview that he never leaked the tape and that Hogan knew he wasn’t behind it. Still, the scandal created irreparable damage.
