Hulk Hogan has been accused of lying about the sex tape at the centre of a £60m lawsuit.
The former wrestler was alleged to have known he was being filmed when he had sex with his best friend's wife.
Todd Clem said Hogan was aware that he was being filmed and said the 59-year-old was the 'ultimate, lying showman.'
And speaking on his radio show this morning, Clemm suggested Hulk could be behind the leaked tape.
He said: 'At the end of the day, I can't even comment on the validity ... [Hulk] could have had something to do with the leak of it,' according to TMZ.

Hogan has filed a $100m lawsuit claiming his ex-best friend Todd and his wife Heather secretly filmed him six years ago at their Tampa, Florida, home.
Clem, known as Bubba the Love Sponge, said Hogan was deliberately playing the victim.
'He's a one-way piece of c**p who doesn't care about anyone but himself,' said Bubba. 'You're the ultimate, lying showman.'
In addition to the complaint against Bubba and the radio host's ex-wife, Hulk is suing Gawker Media, which posted excerpts of the tape, for $100 million.
In the suit against the Clems, Hogan claimed the video caused 'severe and irreparable injury which cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages'.

Sombre: Hogan refused to comment today as he stood outside the Florida court after filing his lawsuits
Hogan is seeking the rights to the video in both lawsuits.
Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, wore a tight black T-shirt, jeans and dark sunglasses as he stood outside of the federal court in Tampa on Monday while his attorneys spoke to the media. He did not comment.
It's not clear whether Hogan and Bubba the Love Sponge Clem are still friends. The Clems have since divorced.
Hogan acknowledged on various TV talk shows recently that he had sex with Heather Clem while he was married to Linda Hogan. The Hogans have also divorced.
Hogan, his ex-wife and the couple's son and daughter have appeared on the reality show Hogan Knows Best.
Stephen Diaco, a lawyer for Clem, said Hogan was the best man at the Clem wedding and he is also a godfather to Clem's child.
'My hope is that these two can preserve their friendship,' said Diaco.
