This isn’t the first time the wrestling legend has been accused of racism.
In 2016, Hogan sued Gawker.com for publishing a video of him using the N-word. Hogan allegedly reacted negatively to his daughter, Brooke, dating a Black man.
Hogan won a $140 million judgment and put Gawker.com out of business for publishing the video.
He later apologized for his language.
“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,” Hogan said of the racist remarks made in 2007.
Hogan was reinstated to the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018.
