Just days after Hulk Hogan’s racist tirade was exposed, new information is surfacing that suggest that the former WWE star isn’t just a racist. He’s also homophobic. Hulk Hogan was caught on tape unleashing a disturbing tirade against the gay community. Radar Online and The Enquirer have reported that the same unauthorized sex tape that documented Hulk Hogan’s racist rant against black people has an previously unheard portion that features Hulk Hogan using homophobic slurs . On the video, Terry Bollea aka Hulk Hogan is heard discussing his VH1 reality show, Hogan Knows Best , with his sex tape partner Heather Clem. Clem happens to be the wife of his former friend, Bubba “The Love Sponge” Clem. The conversation with Clem takes a quick turn when Hogan starts talking about the premise of the season four finale episode. “VH1 wanted me to do a big thing and go back to the house I grew up in,” Hulk says. “So we knock on the door,” he continues, “and a big f*g lives there now!” The 61-year-old wrestler continues with his homophobic diatribe: “This half gay was enamored with Linda,” he whines. Airing in October 2007, in the episode Hulk was seen visiting the Port Tampa house where he grew up and was raised by parents Peter and Ruth Bollea. The home’s new owner was nothing but kind to Hulk. In fact, he even gave Hogan a small metal truck that he found in the garden when he moved it. The toy truck belonged to Hogan when he was little. If it wasn’t bad enough that he used homophobic slurs to attack the homeowner (who was nothing but kind to him), Hogan even bashes Linda, his wife at the time. As Bubba enters the room, Hulk says, “Dude, the only thing I will ever ask of you … I don’t know how you will pull this off … is, if I am ever on my death bed, you cannot let Linda come and visit me.” At the time of the audio recording, Linda had not filed for divorce. But it is evident by Hulk’s comments that their marriage was already over. He goes on to mention his Las Vegas home that he purchased for $4.25 million. The property appreciated to $5 million. “If I get divorced, Linda will make me sell it,” he complains on the tape. However, he devised a plan involving SoBe Entertainment mogul Cecile Barker—the same man he called the n-word and slammed as a “black billionaire” elsewhere on the tape. “F**k it,” Hulk says. “Cecile will buy it and give it back to me after the divorce!” Hogan seems unaffected when Bubba begins his own racist outburst. As Bubba hands Hogan a gift, a pair of Oakley sunglasses inscribed with “Hulk Hogan,” Bubba says, Who’s your n***a? I have something for you. Who’s your n***a?” When the tape was publicly revealed, Hulk Hogan was quick to issue an apology . “Eight years ago, I used offensive language during a conversation,” he says. “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,” Hulk adds. “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.” Though the tape proves he has racist and homophobic tendencies, Hulk previously spoke out against homophobic when Linda accused him of having a gay affair with Brutus Beefcake, a fellow wrestler. In 2012, he said, “It’s tough because a lot of my friends in normal life, a lot of my friends in the entertainment business, and a lot of my friends in the wrestling business are gay.” “If it was true and I was gay, I’d embrace it, and I’d tell you guys about it, and I’d celebrate it.” Ultimately, he sued Linda for defamation. But the case was dismissed. Since the tape’s release, Hulk Hogan has defended himself , citing that President Obama used the n-word and wasn’t fired. Obama used the word in a candid discussion about race in America. View Slideshow: 13 Celebrity N-Word Scandals
