Buzzfeed reported that a Florida jury on Friday awarded Hulk Hogan $115 million in his lawsuit against Gawker, finding the media company violated the wrestler’s privacy by posting a 90-second clip of him having sex with the wife of his best friend, Bubba the Love Sponge.

“The verdict in his favor came after a three-week trial in which jurors heard testimony from Hogan and several Gawker employees, including founder Nick Denton and former editors A.J. Daulerio and Emma Carmichael. The jury deliberated for less than six hours,” the source stated.

Hogan thanked God for the outcome of the case via his twitter.

Denton vowed to appeal the case: “We have already begun preparing, as we expect to win this case ultimately.”

“Given that key evidence and the most important witness were both improperly withheld from this jury, we all know the appeals court will need to resolve the case,” Denton said.

The clip, though posted in 2012, was recorded in 2007

Describing the impact that the release of the tape had on his life Hogan said: “I’m torn, my family is torn. It turned my world upside down. I was depressed. I was at a low point in my life and when Bubba said to come to his house, I was just desperate and I went over there and one thing led to another.
