Gossip site Gawker is accusing the FBI of conspiring with wrestling legend Hulk Hogan in a $100 million suit he has filed against the website over its release of a sex tape he appears in.

The New York Daily News reports the tape shows Hogan being intimate with the wife of his best friend. After the company posted the video more than three years ago, Hogan, 61, immediately filed suit and on Friday tweeted, "I told them I would fight this fight until the end, I think they are finally starting to believe me."

Meanwhile, Gawker president and general counsel Heather Dietrick told The News she feels Hogan's outrage over the tape being made public rings hollow because he has long boasted about his sex exploits.

"Given the explicit ways in which (Hogan) has talked about his sex life, it's difficult to believe that he's truly concerned about the publication of what is a very grainy few seconds of sex," Dietrick told the newspaper.

Specifically, the 2006 clip displays a half-naked Hogan and Heather Clem, the wife of his shock jock pal Bubba (The Love Sponge) Clem.

Born Terry Bollea, Hogan's contends he was unaware he was being taped in the "privacy of a bedroom," while Gawker counters its actions are protected by the First Amendment and the incident was newsworthy because the wrestling star has frequently made such boasts as comparing his genitalia to the "Loch Ness Monster."

Still, a Florida judge previously rejected the company's attempts to have the suit tossed, only to witness an appeals court recently postpone trial over what it deemed technical violations.

Gawker sued the FBI after the bureau refused to turn over documents related to a California man's attempt to extort Hogan over the tape. After a judge ordered that the bureau turn over all that information to lawyers for the company, it was discovered that the audio in one of the videos entered into evidence suddenly switched "at a key moment" to audio from a different tape.

"I want to understand how it is that between that moment when the FBI took possession of those DVDs and when I saw those tapes ... that audio got changed," Gawker's lawyer Seth Berlin recently told the court. "It smells like bad fish."

Later, Berlin hinted the FBI only launched its entire probe at Hogan's insistence.

"I didn't know you could go down to your local FBI office and say, 'Hey, can you prosecute this or investigate this to try and keep that from coming out,'" he said. "And that is what I think is going on here and that is wrong."

A new trial date in the suit has yet to be set. Just last year, Gawker attorneys filed a motion demanding that e-mails exchanged between Hogan's lawyers and publicist related to the case be turned over.
