The infamous Hulk Hogan sex tape and its leaking ended up being a grim portent of many events to come.
It was also dramatic on a personal level, as the late wrestling personality accused longtime friend Bubba the Love Sponge of letting it go public. There was a lawsuit and everything.
A little over a week after Hogan’s death, daughter Brooke Hogan is absolving “Uncle Bubba” of any wrongdoing.
According to her, Hulk told her directly that he knew that Bubba was not the leaker.
Bubba the Love Sponge did NOT leak the Hulk Hogan sex tape, Brooke says
On Tuesday, August 5, Brooke Hogan called into Bubba the Love Sponge’s radio show.
During the chat, she expressed that she had “been watching you take the heat for” the infamous sex tape leaking.
“And,” Brooke continued, “I’ve been hearing you say ‘sorry, sorry, sorry.’”
“My dad told me the real story,” Brooke then told Bubba.
“He said one of your employees had [the tape] and that they took it from you,” she revealed.
Brooke then affirmed: “He knew it wasn’t you.”
Clearly, Bubba never expected a public absolution
At this, Bubba the Love Sponge expressed his shock at Brooke Hogan absolving him of leaking the Hulk Hogan sex tape.
No one else in the infamous wrestler’s orbit has come forward to say this.
“I can’t watch you beat yourself up,” Brooke expressed.
“Because, for me, you were always my uncle Bubba.”
To be clear, Bubba was a “suspect” in the leak because Hulk had slept with Heather Clem, who happened to be married to Bubba at the time.
Hulk Hogan did sue Bubba and Heather over it.
They settled for $5,000, with Bubba giving Hulk a public apology on the air.
“I just don’t want you to keep beating yourself up over that,” Brooke emphasized. “Because he told me he knew it wasn’t you.”
Remember, that one leak led to a whole sequence of bad events
The Hulk Hogan sex tape leaking was a big deal for him, personally. It was also foreshadowing for our current nightmare world. Yes, really.
Hulk’s ensuing lawsuit against Gawker Media was a victory for Hogan — and for his backer, notorious billionaire Peter Thiel.
“Morally dubious” billionaires throwing their weight around to destroy media that they personally dislike has come to define much of today’s horrors.
That lawsuit was the canary in the coal mine.

Jay Blades, the British television host best known for fronting the BBC show The Repair Shop, has been charged with two counts of rape.
A former factory worker who rose to small screen fame over the past several years, Blades will appear to face these charges on August 13.
A West Mercia Police spokesman said the following on Tuesday in regard to the case:
“Jason Blades, 55, of Claverley in Shropshire, has been charged with two counts of rape. He is due to appear at Telford magistrates’ court on 13 August 2025.”
The sexual assault allegations follow a separate charge against Blades last year relating to controlling and coercive behavior… which he has denied.
Blades, who has not appeared on the BBC since last year, is awaiting trial on these separate allegations and, as mentioned previously, will appear at Worcester Crown Court on Tuesday for a pre-trial review.
The Repair Shop premiered in 2017 and featured members of the public bringing their treasured possessions and heirlooms to be fixed by Blades and company.
In 2023, the program won a BAFTA award for a royal special edition in which King Charles (then Prince Charles) was a guest and brought a clock and a vase to be fixed.
As you might expect, Blades’ connection to the King has caused this arrest to make headlines across the globe.
Veteran actress Judi Dench also appeared on the show — with Blades and Dench striking up such a rapport that they went on make the Channel 4 show Dame Judi and Jay: The Odd Couple.
Blades has also appeared on Celebrity MasterChef and The Great Celebrity Bake Off.
The charges against Blades arrive at a time when there is major scrutiny on the conduct of male presenters on British television.
Most recently, Gregg Wallace and John Torrode were removed as the hosts of MasterChef after an independent investigation substantiated allegations of misconduct against the two men.
Wallace later apologized for using “inappropriate language,” but denied more serious allegations.
