Rise to Prominence, Sex tape, Personal Life
However, we might never have heard of Heather if it wasn’t for the leaked sex tape between her and Hulk Hogan. It all happened in 2006 when Hulk was having a marital crisis, and his good friend Bubba the Love Sponge offered to help. Bubba offered his then-girlfriend Heather to have sex with Hogan, in hopes that Hulk would feel better. Bubba videotaped the whole thing and never dreamed of what would become of it. The sex tape was lost, but then published by Gawker in 2012. This made Heather quite popular, and with Hogan’s lawsuit against Bubba and Heather as well, her popularity soared through the roof. After the lawsuit was settled, Heather retreated into obscurity and hasn’t made a single appearance in public since then. According to reports, Heather has one child, which is a product of one of her previous relationships.
