Hulk Hogan threatens to sue over leaked sex tape footage

Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea) has threatened to sue any website that posts his leaked sex tape, a grainy black-and-white footage that features the wrestler and a female brunette claimed to be Heather Clem, ex-wife of his best friend.

According to Slate, the one-minute montage of the original 30-minute tape shows Hogan "making small talk" and then having sex with the woman. Slate reports that at one point in the encounter Hogan picks up a phone call from his son,Nick. According to TMZ, after Gawker posted the minute-long clip to its website [NSFW], Hogan sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding that the tape be taken own. He threatened that if Gawker does not take down the tape he will sue. Hogan is saying that Gawker does not have the right to post the footage. TMZ reports that Hulk Hogan's lawyer, David R. Houston, said: "This tape was made secretly without Hulk's knowledge or permission. We are going to do everything in our power to figure out who did it. Anyone displaying the tape will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law." The tape was reportedly sold to the highest bidder earlier the year and screen grabs were posted online in April. An edited version of the video surfaced online a few days ago. Gawker, however, said it acquired the footage free from an unnamed source. Slate reports Hogan had said he did not know who the woman in the tape was. He claimed he slept with several women after his divorce from Linda Bollea. Hulk Hogan, 59, divorced his wife of 24 years, Linda, in 2009. In December 2010, he married Jennifer McDaniel.
