Comment: The American public is sensitive to intent, and the general public's view of gossip is that gossip is a form of intentional harm.

I'm wondering how much the public is aware that the sex tapes contained a fair amount of racial slurs that lead to the WWE dropping Terry Gene Bollea's contract?

I suspect it's the loss of income more than the embarrassment of the sex that lead to the suite. Especially, as Heather Clem has said, that their sexual relationship was encouraged by her then husband, and Hulk Hogan's friend, Bubba the Love Sponge.
