The woman at the centre of the Hulk Hogan sex tape trial was close to tears as she told how she discovered her husband had filmed her.
Heather Clem said she was 'upset' after her husband, radio DJ Bubba the Love Sponge, showed her the explicit video several weeks after she had sex with the former wrestling star.
In a taped deposition played to the jury at the $100 million invasion privacy trial brought by Hogan against Gawker Media, Clem admitted she had sex with Hogan on three occasions.
She maintained neither she nor Hogan, who is using his real name Terry Bollea, had any idea their.....
sexual encounter was being filmed.
Under examination by Gawker's lawyers Clem said other sexual encounters with different men had been recorded by her husband at their home.
She also denied any knowledge about the tape being leaked to New York based Gawker.
Asked by lawyers about her reaction to the tape Clem said she was 'upset' and asked her husband to stop playing it. Clem said she asked her husband to destroy the tape which was made in 2005.
Clem said she did not watch the whole tape and during her subsequent divorce from Clem had asked that it be destroyed.
She told lawyers she was under the impression that the tape had been destroyed following her 2012 divorce.
Hogan stared intently at a large TV screen in the St Petersburg, Florida, courtroom as Clem's emotional deposition was played.
Clem, who now uses her maiden name Cole, said she had been encouraged to have sex with Hogan who at the time was best friends with her husband.
The court had earlier heard that they had an open marriage and her husband encouraged her to have other sexual partners.
Clem said the first sexual encounter took place at Hogan's Florida home.
The second was at a hotel in Tennessee when she and her husband were attending a wrestling event.
Clem said she had been encouraged by her husband to go to Hogan's hotel room when they were visiting Tennessee.
'I was asked to go to Mr. Bollea's room by my husband, and I did', Clem said.
Clem said on both occasions no one else was present and she was not aware of any cameras being set up to film the sex.
