Florida Judge Denies Gawker's Motion for a New Trial in Hulk Hogan Sex-Video Case and Won't Reduce $140 Million Verdict

A Florida judge on Wednesday denied Gawker’s motion for a new trial in the Hulk Hogan sex-video case and won’t reduce a $140 million jury verdict. Judge Pamela Campbell did elaborate on her decision, the latest development in a yearslong legal fight between Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, and the gossip website. Hogan sued Gawker after it posted a 2007 video of him having sex with Heather Clem, wife of his then-best friend Bubba The Love Sponge Clem, a local Tampa DJ who made the video. During the Gawker trial, Hogan mournfully described how Clem betrayed his trust.
