Hulk Hogan heard using homophobic slurs in new sex tape leak

By Will Stroude

Hulk Hogan is facing accusations of homophobia after being heard using anti-gay slurs in new audio from a leaked 2007 sex tape.

It’s emerged that the wrestling legend  – who was fired from the WWE last week after using racist language in the leaked tape – also hurls a series of homophobic insults during the same encounter.

According to Rader Online, who broke the original story last week, Hogan is overhead calling a man who appeared in his VH1 reality series Hogan Knows Best a “big fag”.

“VH1 wanted me to do a big thing and go back to the house I grew up in,” Hulk says, discussing the season four finale of the show, which aired in 2007.

“So we knock on the door,” he continues, “and a big fag lives there now!”

“This half-gay was enamoured with [my ex-wife] Linda.”

The latest controversy comes just days after the 61 year-old apologised for the series of racial slurs that can also be heard on the video as he discusses his daughter’s sex life.

He said: “I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f*ck some n*gger, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n*gger worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!

“I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking n*gger.”

While Hogan has yet to comment on the lastest remarks, he previously apologised for the racist language, 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.”
