The WWE has removed the wrestler from the hall of fame and any mention of him on their sites. Hogan has since apologized for his words.<\/p>\n<h2>Controversy Surrounding The Wrestler<\/h2>\n<p>Hogan is in the middle of a lawsuit over his leaked 2006 tape; he is suing Gawker Media for $100 million for invasion of privacy. \u00a0A section of the tape was discovered of Hogan angrily ranting about his daughter Brooke. He accused her of sleeping with a black man and fired off several swear words and racial slurs during his tirade. He seemingly admits to being racially prejudiced in the tape &#8211; <i>&#8220;I mean, I don\u2019t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f&#8211;ing n-s. But then when it comes to nice people and s-*t, and whatever&#8230;I guess we\u2019re all a little racist&#8221; <\/i>he said. \u00a0Adding fuel to the fire, an old radio interview from 2012 was recently uncovered online in which Hogan repeatedly used the n- word. He talked about how Booker T and other stars would call him the word and lamented that he was not able to use the word himself.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7808\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7808\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/07\/42532db2f6e473b2228b66cd9c4b8c6c1.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/07\/42532db2f6e473b2228b66cd9c4b8c6c1.jpg 435w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/07\/42532db2f6e473b2228b66cd9c4b8c6c1-350x300.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/07\/42532db2f6e473b2228b66cd9c4b8c6c1-85x73.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7808\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/336503403378655931\/\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>{adinserter CNP5}<\/p>\n<h2>A Serious Backlash<\/h2>\n<p>Though the sports organization did not explicitly state the reason behind this, they said <em>\u201cWWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0However, Hogan\u2019s lawyer is claiming that he was not sacked but rather resigned.
