Hulk Hogan was "completely humiliated" when his sex tape was posted online.
The wrestling legend claims he was affected both professionally and personally by Gawker's publication of the footage, which showed him having sex with Heather Clem, as he testified in court yesterday to try and secure a $100 million payout for damages.
He told jurors: "I was completely humiliated. It was even embarrassing as my character. Hulk Hogan was embarrassed."
During the hearing, lawyers for Hulk - real name Terry Bollea - claim he had a right to expect privacy as he was in a private bedroom and they also state he had no knowledge of the filming taking place.
Attorneys for the website countered the arguments by insisting "this kind of reporting is important" and claiming they are protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the New York Post newspaper reports.
