The biographical drama will tell the audience about the meteoric rise and loud fall of the career of American journalist A.J. Dolerio. For several years, he wrote articles for a wide variety of Internet portals - from brokerage blogs to bookmaker sites.  In 2011, Dolerio was promoted to the position of editor-in-chief of the famous blog Gawker. To raise traffic to the site, he decided to publish an excerpt from an intimate video featuring Hulk Hogan. Representatives of the legend of the world of wrestling immediately turned to the management of Gawker with a demand to remove the provocative video. A.J. flatly refused to remove the video from the site and began referring to the first amendment to the US Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech and press. Hogan decided to file a civil privacy claim against Gawker. The court sided with the Hulk and awarded him an incredible $ 140 million. Soon, the owners of the blog had to declare bankruptcy, and AJ was shown the door.  Dolerio's biopic is written by Kenny Kyle, who began his Hollywood career as the author of the hit TV series Hawaii Police. * - preliminary translation. The Topic of Article: The naked truth. |
