 Terry Bollea, popularly known as ‘Hulk Hogan’, apparently made racist comments about Rock and black wrestlers which was captured on a sex tape that has been the center of an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit against Gawker Media. Hogan has since apologized in a statement to People magazine saying:
 “Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation. It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it
“This is not who I am. I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise
“I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs.”
