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.

Scheana Shay has a new memoir to promote, and the woman definitely knows how to drum up publicity.
One of the most buzzed-about parts of the book is the passage in which Scheana lists all her celebrity hookups.
And it turns out she’s been with quite a few dudes (she names a dozen of them in her memoir).
Scheana Shay opens up about past hookups
Scheana is still making the media rounds, and not surprisingly, folks want to know more about her history of hooking up with well-known stars.
During an appearance on today’s episode of the wildly popular (and bizarrely named) “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast Scheana offered more details about her life as a young single in Los Angeles.
“Who was, like, the best hookup?” host Amanda Hirsch inquired of the former Vanderpump Rules star.
Without missing a beat, Scheana replied, “Shemar [Moore].”
Her enthusiasm on the subject might lead us to feel some sympathy for Scheana’s husband, Brock Davies — were it not for the recent revelation that Brock cheated on Scheana while she was pregnant.
Scheana previously listed John Mayer, Jesse Metcalfe, Jesse McCartney, Eddie Cibrian, and JC Chasez on her list of celebrity conquests.
Most of them have yet to comment on her claims, but Metcalfe said he was flattered that her memories of their time together were so positive (though probably not as flattered as Shemar!).
But when it comes to fame, with the possible exception of John Mayer, none of the previous celebs who have hooked up with Scheana could hold a candle to the man who might be her best-known ex.
Scheana may or may not have hooked up with Ryan Gosling
Shay previously mentioned that she’d hooked up with “two actors from The Notebook.”
Naturally, Hirsch wanted to know if one of those two actors was Ryan Gosling.
Shay gave a coy response, noting that she’s “not confirming or denying” the rumor that she hooked up with Hollywood’s hottest star.
“Maybe there’s another book one day,” she added.
James Marsden and Kevin Connolly also appeared in the film, so even if Scheana didn’t hook up with Gosling, she might still have some good Notebook tea to spill.
Of course, there’s only one actor who comes to mind when the blockbuster 2004 romance gets mentioned.
And if Scheana really had a torrid affair with the star of the film, then she might have enough material for one hell of a sequel to her debut memoir!

Another football season is right around the corner.
And while Travis Kelce might be laser-focused on bringing the Lombardi Trophy back to Kansas City, he’s got a different Midwest city on his mind this week.
According to a new report, Travis and Taylor Swift were recently spotted house-hunting in his hometown of Cleveland.
Is Taylor soon to become a resident of the Buckeye State?
Local media outlet Cleveland Scene reports that Tay and Trav “visited at least two opulent homes currently for sale in Northeast Ohio’s tony eastside suburbs on that visit.”
This is big news for a number of reasons:
For starters, this means that Taylor and Travis are likely to move in together once the upcoming NFL season ends.
On top of that, we now know that there are “opulent homes” in Northeast Ohio. Who knew?! (Just kidding, Cleveland!)
Anyway, Taylor and Travis have been dating for a couple of years now, and they’ve spent much of that time cohabiting.
But between her record-breaking world tour and the rigors of the NFL season, they’ve also spent quite a lot of time in different parts of the world.
Now, it looks like the world’s most beloved couple will be making their home in Cleveland once Travis’ football career comes to an end.
(Kelce has not yet announced that he’ll be retiring from the NFL after this season, but it’s a safe bet. He turns 36 in October, which is approximately 94 in tight end years.)
And naturally, that news has fans wondering what else the future holds for this lanky duo.
What’s next for Taylor and Travis?
For over a year now, we’ve been hearing rumors that Taylor and Travis are secretly engaged.
And while that’s entirely possible, the only new rings she’s been rocking in public lately have been Travis’ Super Bowl rings.
If Tay and Trav wind up closing on a house together, you can bet that the rumor mill will start churning like never before.
But any nuptials will likely have to wait until Travis’ campaign for a final Super Bowl victory comes to an end.
We’re sure Taylor will be cheering him on every step of the way.

Gloria Estefan and her husband have come up in a lawsuit against the disgraced rapper.
Despite Diddy’s outrageous partial acquittal, he will likely still end up spending time in prison.
And the lawsuits keep coming in. An acquittal does not protect you from civil court — remember O.J. Simpson?
One lawsuit alleges that a property that the legendary singer owned was used to transport him to one of Diddy’s infamous parties.
One Diddy lawsuit also mentions true music royalty
In April, a man named Manzaro Joseph filed a lawsuit alleging that he was sexually assaulted in 2015 at a party for Diddy’s son, Christian.
The alleged incident took place on Star Island.
The Miami Beach island is a location where, as the almost clumsily obvious name might imply, many of the rich and famous own property.
According to Joseph’s filing, he was transported in a tunnel into Diddy’s home after entering another estate through a back entrance.
That other estate’s owner, he claims, was Gloria Estefan and her husband, Emilio Estefan.
Joseph alleges that Gloria and Emilio saw him as he moved through their mansion, with Gloria allegedly shocked at his state and wanting to call an ambulance.
Emilio, he alleges, moved Gloria away from the scene.
Joseph claims that, at the party, he was drugged.
He also accuses Diddy of placing a sex toy on his head and walking him around the party at one point. At this point, most are familiar with Diddy’s reputation.
What does Gloria Estefan have to say about that?
Us Weekly reports that Gloria Estafan has written a declaration to the court, citing that she does own multiple homes — and previously owned a home next to Diddy’s property.
She “categorically [denies] each and every allegation about me and my husband.”
Gloria added that she and her husband did not reside in the property that was adjacent to Diddy’s.
However, family members did. “Had strangers appeared” at the residence “after midnight in early April 2015 that would have no doubt been reported to me or to Emilio,” she wrote.
“No such thing happened. Particularly given the occupants of [the home], I know that no parties were thrown during that time period,” Gloria wrote. One of the occupants was a small child at the time.
She also wrote that Joseph could not have entered the home through the back, as visitors would need to pass the front gates — plural — no matter what.
“At no time was there ever any ‘tunnel’ between the two houses, at least not while we owned [the home sold to Diddy],” Gloria added.
“I believe this fact could have been easily verified through the public records of the City of Miami Beach.”
Is this a case of mistaken identity? Who’s misremembering?
“I was never in [Diddy’s] house and [Diddy] was never in either our residence or family house, except after [Diddy] purchased the family house in 2021,” Gloria Estefan emphasized.
She strongly lamented that her husband had become involved in this lawsuit, given that she believes that there are factual errors.
Obviously, we cannot claim to know the facts of the case. Clearly, at least one person is remembering events very differently than at least one other person.
And no, we don’t think that we can count upon Diddy himself to clear things up.
