Peter Teal's Life

Gawker dot com will cease publishing next week, marking the end of an era. To understand why it all happened, you have to go back to a post on a gawker blog that outed teal as gay. Even though teal was out to friends and family, max says he viewed the blog as a tremendous invasion of privacy. He secretly funded the 20 13 lawsuit brought by wrestler hulk hogan that destroyed the website gawker. Gawker had published hogan's sex tape, and teal quietly agreed to fund gan suit, eventually spending ten million dollars.
