Bubba stressed that he has nothing to do with the making or ownership of the film.

“I got Nick Hogan suing me to block this documentary. Did you even watch it? Your father isn’t being shown in a bad light at all. And yes, Nick is using Hulk’s money for this lawsuit,” Bubba said during his livestream.Court filings show the documentary is scheduled to premiere on September 5 at a private event, with 500 invitations sent and around 350 to 400 guests expected.

It makes Terry look good. It doesn’t put him in a bad light at all. Yet here I am, being sued for something I don’t even own,” Bubba said.The documentary premiere is only days away, but with Nick Hogan pushing for a restraining order, the legal fight in Tampa, Florida, could get even more intense.
