Bubba isn't a party to the lawsuit
Is there a reason Bubba can't testify to what Hogan said?
Bubba isn't a party to the lawsuit
The existence and substance of the tape are newsworthy. Whether actually showing Hulk fucking a chick on a secretly recorded tape was newsworthy is the issue.
How the hell can anyone at Jezebel not say anything about this? Its messed up.
Give it up Nick.

Amazing that he won't just take the L and admit Gawker screwed up. What a complete and total bootstain.
Jezebel's writers were paid by raising ad revenue on revenge porn. Oh the irony.
Now read this other gawker article:

Celebrities, especially ones as public about their personal and sex life as Hulk Hogan, have a narrower zone of privacy than ordinary people
Yup. Doubling down on that whole 4 year old video thing. The guy gets thoroughly strung up by his balls in court on that comment and the other Gawker guy still thinks it's okay to be a self-righteous attention whore over it.Well I mean doesn't this entire issue stem from Gawker not being able to keep their mouth shut?
Sure, I guess he has to fight it in court to some extent. But he could at least shut the hell up and not write an unnecessary op-ed.To his defense, he can't. Because if he does it's over for his career and the careers of countless others who had nothing to do with this.
But that doesn't make him right.
Right, Hulk is. A witness can testify about out of court statements made by a party to the case.Bubba isn't a party to the lawsuit
these pap scum are turning this racist dirtbag face again.
Gawker somehow manages to be worse than British tabloids. Once upon a time I didn't think there could possibly be anything worse than British tabloids, yet here we are.
Hate boner for Gawker aside, he's not wrong. The judgement was ridiculous and hopefully it'll be thrown out on appeal.
Celebrities, especially ones as public about their personal and sex life as Hulk Hogan, have a narrower zone of privacy than ordinary people. Regardless of questions about Gawkers editorial standards and methods, self-promoters should not be allowed to seek attention around a specific topic and then claim privacy when the narrative takes an unwelcome turn. The benefits of publicity come at a price; and for someone like Hogan, whose whole life is a performance, its a full-time and long-term commitment.
he's not wrong.
Gawker's lawyers must be shaking their heads at this op-ed, Nick Denton and Co. take narcissism to a multi-million dollar level lol
Speaking as an attorney, they should really shut the fuck up.
Sure, I guess he has to fight it in court to some extent. But he could at least shut the hell up and not write an unnecessary op-ed.
Could they increase the punitive damages?

Barf. Tone it down please. How do you even respond to this absurdity.???? Dude is using the literal excuse of "she was asking to be raped dressed like that"
And you think he's not wrong??? O_O
Well if it makes you feel any better, the jury hated that guy so much that they wanted to give him community service as well.
Will Gawker just fuck off and die already?
Barf. Tone it down please. How do you even respond to this absurdity.
What's even more hilarious is that they've always defended their shit-tier reporting by trotting out the old line of "speak truth to power"...and then they end up getting destroyed by a disgraced wrestler.
I thought Gawker learned not to poke the bee hive last time when the judge ordered them to take down the sex tape and they refused and posted a long thing like this as to why.

That's the risk you run when you work for assholes.This vitriol is misplaced. Yes, Nick Denton, those involved with the Hogan coverage, and perhaps even Gawker at a whole should and indeed must face the consequences of their actions. That said, the collateral damage is saddening at the least. There's countless talented, hardworking, ethical writers working under the Gawker umbrella who stand to lose their livelihoods because of a choice made by a select few individuals. The writers and staff at Kotaku, Gizmodo, etc, have done nothing to deserve this fate.
I have no problem with what seems to be the outcome for this case, but exuberantly awaiting the demise of these sites is, at best, odd. The impact that this will have on the employees is not something to be celebrated merely because you dislike the parent company.
Right, Hulk is. A witness can testify about out of court statements made by a party to the case.
He literally claimed that celebrities have less privacy rights due to being in the spotlight, though the example I provided was decidedly more extreme than privacy, it's still in the same vein.
He's made no good points and is actively trying to argue the reduction of human rights for his own profit.
