Hogan on the release of the sex tape: “About 7 months ago some pictures leaked out, so right away I figured out there was a camera in there. No one cares about the “woe is me” story that’s all so what. Everyone in here has a woe is me story, whether its parents, problems, girlfriend, money, woe is me, no one cares. That’s so what. What matters is, what now? But what now is, I’m accountable, I’m the guy there. But there is a woe is me story, which nobody cares about. The woe is me story is, Bubba and Heather they were married, were my friends. Heather was always a great mother, always kind. Bubba was always my best friend. And they liked to party, which had nothing to do with me. But all of a sudden, about two years before the incident, Heather started saying, “Hey, I want to have sex with you” “I want to party.” I was just like “yeah right, whatever.” Nice compliment for an old guy like me. But Bubba was cool too, “Hey man it’s okay, it’s okay!” and he admits it wide open. And so this went on for a couple years. And the woe is me story is, all time low, when I was living at the big “Hogan Knows Best” house with my sons precision driving team, and my wife was really unhappy with the marriage and pretty much told me she didn’t want to be married to me and whatever goes along with that. So I was at an all time low, and I was with Bubba when we went back to his house and this offer was thrown at me, and I just said to hell with it. And that’s the “woe is me” story, which doesn’t really matter because I made a bad choice. And the thing that is so disturbing to me is that I have been defending Bubba across the board. Because I asked him, “Where did the camera come from?” “I even asked you because I know you have security cameras in your house; you’re not filming this are you?” He was like “No, I would never do that to you, how dare you insult me.” When the pictures came out, I said “What’s up! This was on your watch?” and he said “Oh, it must have been Heather that did it.” It’s crazy dude. You got to stop this. Up until the day before yesterday, when I was coming up here and they released part of the video, I told Bubba, they showed part of the tape and if they show it all, this has totally destroyed my life again, flipped it upside down. I need to know. I don’t want to insult you, but I need to know if you had anything to do with this. Because it’s not just you, me, and Heather, but your son Tyler is on the altar too, he is on the chopping block. I don’t want his dad to go to prison or his dad to lose everything. And I said, “Did you have anything to do with this?” and he flat out denied it and said he wasn’t going to lawyer up. So I just got some disturbing news, and I haven’t seen the tape yet, but I got people like TMZ saying Bubba was in front of the camera saying he can use this for a retirement if he ever needed to. That’s why I am rattled, but bro; I am not releasing a tape or doing anything. I did not know the cameras were there. I just told my attorneys do whatever you have to do criminally, civilly; I still won’t believe Bubba is not my friend until I see the tape. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ve had people tell me they have seen it. Probably one of the worst days of my life yesterday. It’s been a tough ride, but I’m here to promote the pay per view. If you were going to bring that up and say anything about a tape you had to let me talk.”
