No Settlement After Mediation In Hulk Hogan-Gawker-Cox Media Case
A mediation session in HULK HOGAN's lawsuit against COX MEDIA GROUP, DON BUCHWALD AND ASSOCIATES, BUCHWALD agent TONY BURTON, former BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE crew member MATT "SPICE BOY" LOYD (and his ex-wife TASHA NICOLE CARREGA and her friend LORI BURBRIDGE), CALIFORNIA attorney KEITH M. DAVIDSON and his law firm, GAWKER MEDIA, and COX Talk WHPT (102.5 THE BONE)/TAMPA morning host MIKE CALTA has apparently come and gone without a settlement. Â The parties filed a Mediation Results Report after last WEDNESDAY's meeting (4/12) and notified the court that no settlement has been reached, which indicates that the case is closer to going to trial.
HOGAN is suing over an alleged conspiracy to leak his sex tapes with HEATHER CLEM, BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE's then-wife, and GAWKER's alleged complicity in the release of a transcript of HOGAN saying racist things about his daughter's boyfriend to the NATIONAL ENQUIRER. Â The suit alleges that CALTA, a rival of BUBBA, sent at least one of the tapes to GAWKER through BURTON, who has specifically denied involvement in the leak and testified in the first HOGAN-GAWKER trial that he unknowingly gave an unnamed client GAWKER's address upon request.
