In an utterly distasteful display of disdain, Yvette d’Entremont, a leftist former reporter for the now-bankrupt “progressive” media outlet Gawker, celebrated the death of sports icon Hulk Hogan.
On Thursday, d’Entremont sparked outrage online with her comments about Hogan’s death.
“So Hulk Hogan died,” d’Entremont posted on X just hours after the 71-year-old wrestling legend’s passing.
“As a former Gawker writer (as are all Gawker writers thanks to Hulk Hogan), I won’t be the first or the last to say ‘f**k that guy.’
“Dance on any grave you want to, but this one’s mine.”
So Hulk Hogan died.

Dance on any grave you want to, but this one’s mine.

D’Entremont’s remarks were a direct reference to Gawker’s infamous publication of Hogan’s private sex tape.
The outlet’s publishing of the video ultimately led to the company’s financial collapse.
After Hogan sued for invasion of privacy, he was awarded $115 million in compensatory damages, $25 million in punitive damages, and a $31 million settlement.
