Well not officially, but he was awarded $115 million in compensatory damages today, and who knows if there will be any punitive damages. This essentially wipes out Gawker's net worth. For those who don't know, this is a website that recklessly defied a court order by keeping Hogan's sex tape online while simultaneously shaming those who dared spread nudes of female celebrities. Talk about a double standard.

Those guys were bankrolled by a porn producer IIRC. Fuck them and their retarded PC agenda. Only part of that site worth reading is jalopnik and even that isn't great.

I'll pass on further research into his tape.

$60 in compensatory, $55 in punitive. Get your shit straight before popping off bruh.

Ridiculous, just like Erin Andrews
I really didn't know much about Gawker. Now that I do, fuck them. Thanks for the heads up. -
Gawker are a bunch of talentless piss babies, fuck 'em.

Part missing on this thread was that Hogan's sex tape was based on him fucking his best friend's wife ...

IIRC OJ had to pay 20 million for murdering 2 people. I'm glad Hulk and Andrews won their cases but the numbers are out of control.

It's not like Gawker represents a critical role within society, besides they're a corporation not an individual (Hi Mitt). That's really the only argument against torts abuse.allpurpleallgold said:IIRC OJ had to pay 20 million for murdering 2 people.

It's payback for the money his ex wife took. Karma.

A judge told them to take the video down and they refused and bragged about it on twitter
Just asking to get fucked
