Hulk Hogan's Son Sues Controversial Name over S*x Tape Documentary

Nick Hogan alleges the documentary violates copyrights, trademarks, and a 2012 settlement agreement involving his late father Hulk Hogan's leaked sex tape scandal.

  • On Tuesday, September 2, Nick Hogan, 35, filed a federal lawsuit acting for Hulk Hogan's estate seeking to block Bubba The Love Sponge's documentary planned for release later this month.
  • The dispute traces to a 2012 settlement agreement between Hulk Hogan, WWE Hall of Famer, and Bubba The Love Sponge, while Hogan previously sued Gawker Media, winning $140 million and causing its bankruptcy.
  • The complaint details that the project uses unauthorized footage and marks, alleging the documentary contains images from Hulk Hogan's sex tape and that Bubba The Love Sponge used trademarks without permission in the documentary trailer.
  • Nick Hogan is asking the court for an injunction and damages to block Bubba The Love Sponge's documentary, with Clem yet to comment; the suit follows Hulk Hogan's July 24 death at age 71.
  • The controversy, which began nearly 20 years ago, raises privacy and legacy questions as the documentary promises to recount how footage of Hulk Hogan's encounter with Heather Clem was leaked, while Brooke Hogan recently defended Bubba on his show.
