Why Are Ben Affleck and Matt Damon Taking a Different Angle?
- "Killing Gawker" goes after one super-intense story, about when Hulk Hogan had a super ugly legal battle. This is a big deal because he sued Gawker Media - this big site, for releasing this sex tape of his without his permission!
- In 2016, Hogan got awarded over $115 million in money. That’s a lot! He said that the lawsuit had to do with a loss of privacy and that they’d caused him emotional pain!
