The New York Post reports that Hogan's lawyer, David Houston, noticed a change in Hogan's demeanor since the sex tape was published. "The Terry Bollea [Hogan] that I met was a confident, outgoing person that quite frankly believed in his message, and after the video, I know that he portrays the same persona, but you can tell it's not as strong—there's that self-doubt," said Houston. Hogan himself told Good Morning America that he contemplated suicide when the tape was posted and when the racially-charged audio leaked. "Everything I've done, my whole career and my whole life, it's like it never happened. It's like I never existed...I was completely broken and destroyed and said, 'What's the easiest way out of this?' I mean, I was lost."
