“As we’ve said before and are happy to say again: Gawker did not leak the information. Gawker, which previously denied leaking the court-protected transcript, reiterated its denial on Monday, saying in a statement: “This is getting ridiculous.” Bollea said from the beginning that he would seek to hold all persons and entities fully responsible for their wrongful actions,” his lawyers said in a statement. The amount of damages he was seeking was not immediately available. Bollea’s new lawsuit also accuses a Florida radio host and several other people of participating in a “willful and malicious conspiracy to extort him” and invade his privacy.
Bollea, sued Gawker after it published a video excerpt in which he could be seen having sex with the wife. The former wrestler, whose real name is Terry G. The racial comments were recorded during a 2007 encounter with the wife of his friend at the time, Todd Clem, a radio host who legally changed his name to Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.
This time, he accused the website of intentionally inflicting emotional distress and leaking a video transcript in which he is quoted as using racial slurs. Hulk Hogan, the retired wrestler who won $140 million in an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit against Gawker in March after it published a sex tape of him and a friend’s wife, sued the online publication again on Monday.
