Attorneys for Gawker Media will be back in Pinellas court this morning to ask a judge to postpone the $140.1 million judgment awarded to former professional wrestler Hulk Hogan.
The hearing is expected to last about two hours. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, is not expected to attend.
In 2012, Bollea sued Gawker after the website posted a one minute and 41 second video of the retired wrestler having sex with the wife of his former best friend, Tampa DJ Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.
Claiming that his privacy had been violated, Bollea took the case to trial, where after two weeks a jury ordered Gawker, its CEO Nick Denton, and former editor A.J. Daulerio, to pay Bollea $140.1 million.
