Hulk Hogan’s lawyer David Houston spoke with FOX 411 on Friday about Hogan’s racist comments that was made public by The National Enquirer, which led to Hogan being fired by WWE.
Hogan’s lawyer confirmed that the comments on the tape were made in 2006. The transcripts was in a sealed deposition that is part of Hogan’s $100 million lawsuit against Gawker Media for posting online a video of Hogan having sex with Heather Clem, the wife of Bubba the Love Sponge. The sex video is reportedly on the same recording as the racist comments.
Houston is suspicious of Gawker leaking the transcripts and is threatening legal action. Houston said, “I have my suspicions, as you can imagine. If I can find out it is Gawker who leaked the transcripts, we will bury them.”
Gawker President and Genaral Councel Heather Dietrick issued a statement to Fox 411 denying having anything to do with transcripts being leaked. “Hulk Hogan has only one person to blam for what he said and no one from Gawker had any role in leaking that information.”
Hogan’s lawyer said that Hogan asked him to tell his fans that he is devastated” by his past actions and that he “sincerely apologizes to his family, friends and fans.” Houston added, “He is not a racist. His history defines him as something different.”
