Bubba the Love Sponge Accuses Nick Hogan of Trying to Sabotage Hulk Hogan Documentary Premiere

The legal drama surrounding Video Killed the Radio Star—the controversial documentary about Hulk Hogan—just got messier. Bubba the Love Sponge is now claiming that Nick Hogan nearly sabotaged the film’s premiere with a last-minute legal maneuver meant to shut the whole event down.

Bubba took to his YouTube channel and revealed that, just hours before the scheduled 7:30 PM showing on Friday, legal representatives for the estate of Hulk Hogan served the event’s venue, Centro Asturiano, with a cease-and-desist-style notice.

“At 3 PM Friday — just three hours and 30 minutes before the doors were supposed to open — Hogan’s counsel, the estate of Hulk Hogan, served the venue with one of these gimmicks. They put the venue on notice that if they played Video Killed the Radio Star at 7:30 that night, the venue would be officially liable.”

The legal threat apparently caused panic among the venue’s leadership. By 3:30 PM, the director reached out to event promoter Mark Tates and informed him they were pulling the plug—unless strict conditions were met immediately.

“So at 3:30, the director of the place calls Mark Tates and says, ‘We’re shutting it down. We’re just a small venue here, the Centro Asturiano. We’ve never had anything like this.’ The director told Mark Tates that unless they were named on the insurance policy and got an email confirming they’d be held harmless, the show was canceled.”

Bubba claimed the whole ordeal nearly turned into a humiliating disaster, where they would’ve had to cancel the premiere in front of a live audience just minutes before the curtain rose.

“We can prove they cost us damages — to the point that they nearly shut down the whole thing at 3:30 on Friday. Imagine how embarrassing that would’ve been, standing at the top of the theater telling everybody the show was canceled. How stupid would we have looked?”

Despite the chaos, the premiere did go on—and notably, Brooke Hogan was in attendance. She not only showed up in support of Bubba but also defended him amidst the ongoing family drama. Meanwhile, Nick Hogan may have scored a small legal win by filing a lawsuit to block the film, but Bubba remains defiant, indicating this legal battle is far from over.
