Hulk Hogan was a major topic on Good Morning America this Friday, as he heads to court to sue Gawker for $100 million, after the website released his sex tape with Heath Clem, wife of his friend Bubba the Love Sponge back in 2012.

When the tape first leaked, it was seen by over two and a half million people before it was taken down. Hogan’s is the first celebrity sex tape case to make it all the way to trial, as the majority of them are either dropped or settled upon long before.

Per the Hulkster’s lawyer:

“The law says if somebody is in a private place, doing private things, they have a right to do that, and they have a right to not be filmed without their knowledge, and they have a right for that film not to be played to the world.”

The Hogan camp is pushing their case on a platform of privacy, but Gawker may just have a strong case in the eyes of the legal system. The argument is being made that as a celebrity that has chosen to make his sex life public, throughout various interviews over the years, Hulk has turned the sex tape into a newsworthy story. And if the website can make a case that their article containing the tape was “news”, it becomes virtually impossible for them to lose.
