Venture capitalist Peter Thiel said Monday that a “single-digit millionaire” like pro wrestler Hulk Hogan can’t get access to the U.S. legal system, as Thiel defended his decision to finance a lawsuit against Gawker Media on Hogan’s behalf.
Thiel spoke at the National Press Club in Washington and defended bankrolling the lawsuit, calling Gawker a “singularly sociopathic bully.” The site outed him as gay in 2007.
“If you’re a single-digit millionaire like Hulk Hogan, you have no effective access to our legal system,” Thiel said.
