Overview
- Nick Hogan filed the suit in Florida federal court on Sept. 2 on behalf of his late father's estate, seeking to halt the film and recover unspecified damages.
- The complaint alleges the project uses unauthorized images from the 2007 sex tape, that footage appeared in a recent trailer, and that promotions misuse Hulk Hogan trademarks.
- The filing also claims the release would breach a 2012 settlement between Hulk Hogan and Todd Clem, with the agreement’s specific terms redacted.
- Court papers and Bubba’s public comments reference a planned Sept. 5 premiere at a private event, and Nick Hogan’s team has moved for an emergency temporary restraining order to stop it.
- Bubba The Love Sponge says he does not own or control the film, calls the lawsuit "garbage," asserts the documentary portrays Hogan favorably, and indicates plans to proceed while the case remains pending.
