When an attorney asked Gawker Executive Editor John Cook if he ever considered the emotional distress the video might cause Hogan, "The answer to that question is 'no,'" Cook said. Online chat threads between employees reveal anatomical jokes were made, even after Hogan sued. "In the context of the story and the context we gave it, yes," said Emma Carmichael, who worked as managing editor at Gawker at the time.
"You think it was a good thing that posted the video of Hulk Hogan having sex, correct?" asked an attorney. Gawker employees, past and present, testified about their roles receiving and publishing the edited video. Gawker's attorney, however, argued Hogan enjoyed the media attention. I had to talk to Howard about whatever he brought up." "There were stills out there, the media was attacking us and I was actually using this show to try to stop things from going forward. "I didn't want to talk about Terry Bollea and my experience on the radio," Hogan said.

Hogan claimed after the tape was released he appeared on TV and radio shows as Hulk Hogan in an attempt to do damage control. those are all lies, but that is Hulk Hogan saying, character-driven." "As the character, we can talk about the 'tripod,' we can talk about, like I said, I've body slammed elephants, I have surfed on tiger sharks. "The person who is sitting here under oath, and I don't lie under oath, is Terry Bollea," Hogan said. He explained that any lying, any boasting about physical attributes was all part of the act. I thought I was going to have a heart attack," Hogan said in a TV clip played in the courtroom. "It got me so sick to my stomach, in my chest. He's always said 'no.' But, on shows like Howard Stern and TMZ, Hogan said the opposite. One was whether he'd actually seen the secretly-recorded sex tape between he and the ex-wife of former best friend, Bubba the Love Sponge. Through cross-examination, Hogan was caught in a few inconsistent statements. The problem is, at times, one persona would contradict the other. However, the man who bragged about his sex life in the media, and sometimes stretched the truth, was Hulk Hogan the entertainer.
