Vince McMahon Argues Hulk Hogan 'Wasn't a Racist' But 'Said Some Racist Things'
In a new interview, ex-WWE CEO Vince McMahon argues the late Hulk Hogan, once infamously heard on tape describing himself as 'racist to a point' and using the N-word, 'wasn't a racist' but 'said some racist things.' Speaking with TMZ's Harvey Levin, McMahon conceded that Hogan's much-publicized remarks were 'racist,' calling them 'unforgivable.' Still, he said such rhetoric, in his opinion, was 'not like him.' McMahon was also asked about ultimately welcoming Hogan back to WWE despite the controversy. For his part, Hogan had issued several public apologies, though in more recent years he was very publicly aligned with MAGAism. 'I knew he wasn't a racist,' McMahon said. 'I'd been with him for so many years. He wasn't a racist. He said some racist things and he should pay for that, and he did. But in the end, I think that everyone saw the real Hulk Hogan, Terry Bollea, and they felt [like] 'Now, wait a minute. This guy, he doesn't act like a racist.' He's not a racist. We all make mistakes. That was a big one but he wasn't a racist.' COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess. The conversation appears in TMZ's The Real Hulk Hogan special, which debuted Tuesday and also features appearances from Sylvester Stallone and Mick Foley, among others. Hulk's complicated legacy has remained a subject of scrutiny and debate following his death from a heart attack last month. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was among those who paid tribute to Hogan, calling him his 'childhood hero' when reflecting on the impact he had on his own wrestling trajectory. 'It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that we confirm we have lost a legend,' Hogan's reps said in a statement confirming his death in July. 'Our beloved Terry Bollea, known worldwide as Hulk Hogan, passed away today surrounded by his loved ones. At this time of grief, we ask that everyone please respect the privacy of his family and friends. May we all take solace in the wonderful memories he left behind for the millions of fans worldwide whose lives he touched for more than four decades. He will be missed, but never forgotten.'

Jimmy Kimmel dismisses reports of Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' losing $40 million a year as 'nonsensical'
Jimmy Kimmel pushed back Monday against reports that Stephen Colbert's "The Late Show" was losing CBS $40 million a year, calling them completely false. "I just want to say that the idea that Stephen Colbert's show was losing $40 million a year is beyond nonsensical," Kimmel told Variety in an interview published Monday. "These alleged insiders who supposedly analyze the budgets of the shows — I don't know who they are, but I do know, they don't know what they're talking about." "They seem to only be focused on advertising revenue and have completely forgotten about affiliate fees, which number in the hundreds of millions — probably in total billions — and you must allocate a certain percentage of those fees to late-night shows," he added. In its July 18 statement announcing Colbert's show would end, CBS said the decision was 'purely' financial and "not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount." Puck News reported that Colbert's show "has been losing more than $40 million a year" for CBS and that it had a budget of "more than $100 million per season," comparing it with CBS' daytime and primetime programming, which were "still profitable." But Kimmel told Variety that there is no way Colbert's show was losing $40 million a year. "It really is surprising how little the media seems to know about how the media works," Kimmel said. "There's just not a snowball's chance in hell that that's anywhere near accurate. Even that — that's all you need to know," he added. "Suddenly he's losing $40 million a year? I will tell you, the first 10 years I did the show, they claimed we weren't making any money — and we had five times as many viewers on ABC as we do now. Who knows what's true? All I know is they keep paying us — and that's kind of all you need to know." Kimmel also said that he thinks late-night television is far from dead. "Network television is declining," Kimmel told Variety. "There's no question about that. But more people are watching late-night television than ever before — and I include Johnny Carson in that. People may find that shocking. When Carson was at his peak, he was getting around 9 million viewers a night. That's huge. Of course, the lead-in shows were getting 30 and 40 million, which was a big part of it. But people are still watching late-night — just in different places. Our monologues get between 2 and 5 million views, sometimes more, every night." Fox News Digital reached out to CBS' parent company Paramount for comment. Fox News host Greg Gutfeld is thriving in late-night. In 2025, "Gutfeld!" averaged 3.1 million viewers through July 20, compared to 1.9 million for CBS' outgoing "The Late Show." During that same time period, ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" averaged 1.5 million, NBC's "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon" averaged 1.1 million, and NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers" managed 751,000.

Boston TV news anchor claims she lost gig because she's white — blames CBS ‘DEI agenda'
A TV anchor at a local CBS station in Boston claims she was demoted from her job because she is a white woman — and alleged she fell victim to a 'DEI agenda' that was raging out of control across the Tiffany Network, according to a bombshell lawsuit. Katherine Merrill Dunham, a longtime anchor for CBS affiliate WBZ-TV known on air as Kate Merrill, filed suit against the station's corporate parents CBS and Paramount Global this month alleging that she was run out of the newsroom to satisfy corporate diversity quotas. The 51-year-old Emmy Award-winning broadcaster, who is married to ex-Rangers goalie Mike Dunham, stunned viewers last year when she quit the station without explanation. 8 Katherine Merrill Dunham (center), known on-air as Kate Merrill, a longtime Boston news anchor for CBS affiliate WBZ-TV. Chris Tanaka is seen left. Levan Reid is seen right. Facebook / Kate Merrill WBZ In her Aug. 5 suit filed in Boston federal court, Merrill alleged she was targeted by managers who said the morning show was 'too white' and by co-workers who filed 'malicious' race-based complaints against her. The lawsuit cites exclusive reporting by The Post of then-CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, who was accused of using her clout to promote minorities while unfairly sidelining white journalists during her tenure. Her downfall began, she claims, after Paramount and CBS rolled out sweeping diversity mandates in response to past allegations of racism. Executives allegedly described WBZ as 'the whitest of all their stations' and vowed to allow only minority hires. Dominican-born Ciprian Mathew was named as president of CBS News in August 2023 despite being the subject of an internal probe by the company in 2021 over her alleged hiring practices, The Post reported. 8 Merrill is married to Mike Dunham, a former backup goaltender for the New York Rangers. X / Mike Dunham 'WBZ-TV exploited such policies and took career-ending action against Ms. Merrill to advance a DEI agenda,' according to the complaint. Ciprian-Matthews stepped down in July of last year. Paramount scrapped its controversial DEI programs earlier this year ahead of its deal with Skydance after President Trump-nominated FCC Chair Brendan Carr reportedly vowed to block any mergers involving companies that held firm to 'woke' policies. According to the complaint, the trouble started when Jason Mikell, a black co-worker and meteorologist at WBZ, allegedly 'made an inappropriate sexual innuendo about' Merrill 'on air' in February of last year when he 'implied that Ms. Merrill and her co-anchor had sexual relations at a gazebo.' 8 The lawsuit cites exclusive reporting by The Post of then-CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthew, who was accused of using her clout to promote minorities while unfairly sidelining white journalists during her tenure. Getty Images The lawsuit alleges that despite complaints to supervisors by Merrill's executive producer, Mikell 'was not disciplined for his sexually charged remark about Ms. Merrill.' A few weeks later in April of last year, after she privately texted him to correct a mispronunciation of 'Concord,' Mikell allegedly 'loudly yelled at her on the studio floor,' according to the suit. Merrill claims she immediately complained to human resources — but a week later, Paramount's HR chief informed her that Mikell and Courtney Cole, a black anchor hired by WBZ in 2022, had accused her of racial bias. After 20 years at the station, the Emmy-winning broadcaster charges that she was branded a racist, demoted in public and forced into a 'constructive discharge resignation'. 8 WBZ-TV meteorologist Jason Mikell at his desk. Mikell allegedly accused Merill of making racist comments. Facebook/Jason Mikell On May 17, 2024, Michael Roderick, vice president of employee relations at Paramount, issued a report finding Merrill had engaged in 'microaggressions or unconscious bias.' WBZ President and GM Justin Draper handed her a written warning requiring unconscious bias training and threatening termination if she slipped again, according to the complaint. The next day, Draper allegedly blindsided her with news she was being demoted from morning anchor to weekends — a move he announced in two staff meetings, the lawsuit alleged. 'Demoting Ms. Merrill in the context of the investigation sent the false message to her professional colleagues that she had engaged in serious wrongdoing,' the lawsuit said. 8 Merrill was at WBZ-TV for more than 20 years before she left the station without explanation last year. Instagram / Kate Merrill Union leaders told Merrill that the demotion constituted 'career sabotage' and she would 'never recover.' Facing what she called a career-ending blow, Merrill resigned May 24, 2024. The suit alleged male and minority colleagues were spared similar punishment for misconduct. It cites Mikell's innuendo and an incident in which a black reporter allegedly 'physically threw' a co-worker against a wall. None were demoted, according to the filing. According to Merrill's lawsuit, Mikell lodged a complaint against her in which he falsely accused her of making racially charged comments, including one in which she allegedly told him that after his hiring he would 'find his people' in Boston. The lawsuit alleged that Mikell complained after she failed to ask him 'about his weekend, an omission he apparently attributed to his race…' 8 Dunham is a retired goaltender who played in the NHL for teams including the New York Rangers, Nashville Predators and New Jersey Devils. He is seen above with the Rangers in 2002. New York Post The complaint also mentions another incident in which she suggested he could be a garbage collector while a co-anchor joked he could pick strawberries during an on-air bit. Merrill denied 'any of her actions, inactions, or comments were as described or motivated by overt racism or unconscious bias.' Merrill, a Carlisle, Mass. native and Concord resident, launched her career in 1996 and joined WBZ in 2004. She became co-anchor of 'WBZ This Morning' and 'WBZ News at Noon' in 2017. The filing touts her spotless record, 'extraordinary reputation' and a résumé that included coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing, Democratic National Convention, Red Sox World Series win and Patriots Super Bowls. 8 Merrill said her black colleagues at WBZ-TV fabricated allegations against her accusing her of racial hostility. Facebook / Kate Merrill WBZ 'For more than 20 years, Ms. Merrill worked closely, virtually daily, with colleagues regardless of race,' the filing states, attaching photos of her with black colleagues. 'She is anti-racist.' In 2022, WBZ hired Cole and Japanese American anchor Chris Tanaka, demoting white colleagues in the process. In 2023, black meteorologist Mikell joined the station, replacing Zack Green, a white forecaster, according to the complaint. 8 Merrill alleged she was targeted by managers who said the morning show was 'too white' and by co-workers who filed 'malicious' race-based complaints against her. Facebook / Kate Merrill WBZ Her WBZ contract — which runs until June 2025 — contains a non-compete clause, blocking her from working elsewhere in TV until it expires. She says she has suffered 'significant financial losses' and reputational damage, and that WBZ still has not paid her for 20 unused vacation days. The Post has sought comment from Merrill's attorneys, Patricia Washienko and Allison Williard; WBZ-TV; CBS; Paramount Global; Draper; Mikell; Cole and Roderick.
