Oh gee what did he do?

Do not follow wrestling.

Everybody just go back in the closet. Don't want to know what you are doing with your junk.

“Oh gee what did he do?
Do not follow wrestling.”

He and his girlfriend were videoed having sex thru a window by some trash mag reporters. He sued them and won, and wound up owning the rag.

From Wiki:

Gawker lawsuit
Main article: Bollea v. Gawker
In April 2012, a sex tape between Hogan and Heather Clem, the estranged wife of radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge, emerged online. On October 4, 2012, Gawker released a short clip of the video. In the video, Bubba can be heard saying that the couple can “do their thing” and he will be in his office. At the end of the video, he can also be heard telling Heather, “If we ever need to retire, here is our ticket”.

Hogan later told Howard Stern on his satellite radio show that, “it was a bad choice and a very low point” and “I was with some friends and made a wrong choice. It has devastated me, I have never been this hurt”. On October 15, 2012, Hogan filed a lawsuit against Bubba and Heather Clem for invading his privacy.

A settlement with Bubba was announced on October 29, 2012. Clem publicly apologized to Hogan. In December 2012, a federal court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, found that Gawker’s publication of the video snippet did not violate U.S. copyright law. Hogan then joined Gawker in the ongoing action against Heather Clem in state court in Florida, alleging invasion of privacy, negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress and seeking $100 million in damages.

On October 1, 2015, the New York Post reported that a Florida Judge granted Hogan access to Gawker’s computer system for a forensic expert to search Gawker’s computers and office.[316]

Hogan sued Gawker for $100 million for defamation, loss of privacy, and emotional pain,[317] and on March 18, 2016, was awarded $115 million.

Also, on August 11, 2016, a Florida judge gave Hogan control of the assets of A.J. Daulerio, former Gawker editor-in-chief, who was involved in the posting of Hogan’s sex tape.
Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel helped Hogan to finance his lawsuit against Gawker Media.
On November 2, 2016, Gawker reached a $31 million settlement with Hogan.
