More victory for Hulk Hogan as Gawker Media has
been ordered to pay an additional $15 million to Hulk Hogan, on top of the $115
million in damages that were announced on Friday. The company's founder, Nick
Denton, has
also been ordered to pay $10 million, while former site
editor-in-chief A.J. Daulerio has to pay $15 million.
Altogether, it's just
over another $25 million for Hogan in his sex tape case, bringing the suit's
total judgement close to $140 million.
Hogan has been suing Gawker for posting a video of
him having sex, claiming that its publication invaded his privacy. Gawker argued
that the material was newsworthy because of Hogan's celebrity status and prior
comments on his sex life, therefore making it appropriate to publish.
