On Friday, a Florida jury awarded Hulk Hogan $115 million in his sex tape lawsuit against Gawker. He responded to their decision by posting this on Twitter:
Late yesterday, that same jury awarded him another $25 million in punitive damages, and Hogan was obviously elated. He didn’t respond to their decision quite as quickly as he did on Friday night—his Photoshop skills must not be up to far—but he eventually got around to issuing a response on Twitter this morning. That response? A photo of him performing a leg drop on the Gawker logo:
Hogan probably shouldn’t celebrate too much just yet. While he stands to rake in $140 million sometime in the near future, Gawker has already announced their plans to appeal the jury’s decision to give Hogan so much money. Stay tuned to see how much Hogan ultimately ends up walking away with.
