In an interview on the Howard Stern show earlier this morning, TNA Wrestling’s Hulk Hogan who was on the show to promote this Sunday’s TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view, noted that the woman in his sex tape is indeed Heather Clem, the ex-wife of his good friend Bubba The Love Sponge and that Bubba actually said that it was okay for Hogan to have sex with Heather 6 years ago.

Hogan noted that he was still married to Linda Bollea at the time of the sex tape, but that she drove him to have sex outside his marriage, because she was so verbally and emotionally abusive to him, something that she denies. Hogan also stated that he is working to find out who released the tape, because he didn’t know and wasn’t aware that he was being recorded at the time.

Meanwhile, Hogan appeared on the Today Show on NBC this morning and noted that his wife Jennifer was rattled by a sex tape featuring Hogan coming out, however he’s not making any excuses and noted that he made the wrong choice in a rough period of his life and will be held accountable for his actions.
