Hogans’ Drama-Filled Divorce Settlment Is Finally Final
July 28th, 2009 / Author: Mary Beth QuirkMore Hogan Family Smack Talk
June 16th, 2009
Will the Hogan family ever reconcile their differences? Maybe someday, but right now Brooke Hogan is still pretty sure she knows best, at least when it comes to her mom’s treatment of her in the media.
"I’m the only one with my head on straight," she tells E!’s Daily 10. "I don’t know what’s wrong with mom… dad and brother are doing good. I’m staying straightforward."
In another interview with E! News, Brooke explains that it’s her mom’s tendency to talk about her that has made her distrust her.
"I look at the things she’s released and said about me and I’m like, how could I ever trust her again?" she explains, referring to her mother revealing that Brooke had breast breast augmentation. "How could I ever look at her and be like, ‘You kind of threw me in front of the bus in front of the whole world… Who does that to their kid?"
Brooke’s been sticking to her dad Hulk Hogan’s side in all the family drama, adding, "I’m just looking at how my dad’s treating me and how my mom’s treating me, and my mom has kind of backstabbed me a couple times. I feel betrayed."
As for her mom’s current boytoy, youngin’ Charlie Hill, a former schoolmate of Brooke and brother Nick, Brooke replies, "He is a loser. I don’t have a problem with age, it’s more about character. Her love is not real and not right."
"I personally don’t like him," she adds after detailing all the material things he’s getting out of the relationship with the older woman.
So is there a bright side to all this for Brooke, whose second album, The Redemption, is due out July 21? Perhaps.
"Life has been really rocky, but it’s starting to look up," she says, adding that she’d rather talk about what’s going on than stay mum.
"You can be judged by talking about it or you can be judged by not. I’m an honest person. I vocalize a lot of my feelings. I might as well do it now, right?"
Hulk Fires Back at Linda Hogan
June 8th, 2009
All is not well in the houses of Hogan: After Hulk Hogan challenged his ex-wife Linda Hogan to take a drug test to prove she wasn’t partying it up with her 19-year-old boyfriend, she responded by showing off her clean results.
But Hulk’s not satisfied, as he released a statement today via his lawyer, David Houston.
The statement reads: "Linda Hogan’s drug test is absolutely meaningless without proper tracking and verification. If Linda Hogan wants the world and the courts to believe that this is a valid drug test, she must prove that it was a legally supervised medical test taken at random.
The document she distributed to the media states that she took a medical test which means that she took a urine test with no verification of urine’s source. Anyone can walk into a clinic and take a test, but without supervision we only have her word to go on and that is questionable. If Linda wanted us to believe she was clean, she should have taken advantage of the $100,000 offer by a national radio show for a random legally supervised drug test as opposed to the farce she has perpetrated upon the public."
The Hogans have been embroiled in a bitter, public war of the words for months, and this latest development shows there’s no sign of a ceasefire anytime soon.
Linda Hogan’s Drug Test: Clean
June 3rd, 2009
Despite accusations of drug use flying back and forth between Linda Hogan, her ex Hulk Hogan and their daughter Brooke Hogan, it seems the mom of two is clean, according to her rep, Gary Smith.
The statement reads: "Linda Hogan responded to Hulk and Brooke Hogan’s public drug test challenge by going to a medical doctor and actually submitting to a full drug screening. After hearing of the malicious allegations, Linda immediately made arrangements to take the test first thing Monday, June 1st for the test which was analyzed at LapCorp labs in Florida."
And there’s even more, as the statement goes on to detail that all results are clean, with Linda testing negative for speed, Marijuana, cocaine, vicodin, morphine, heroin and PCP.

Hulk and Brooke had claimed that Linda was living a bad lifestyle and was using drugs with her younger boyfriend, Charlie Hill, who is 19.
But cleaning her name of any drug dirt isn’t enough for Linda, whose statement goes on to lay blame at her estranged family’s door.
"This has been a very vindictive and hurtful attempt to discredit Linda. She has opened her private medical records to disprove Brooke and Hulk’s horrendous, unsupported allegations. She asks the public respect her privacy on this matter so she may begin to repair her relationship with her daughter," her rep adds.
Hulk Defends Daughter Brooke
May 28th, 2009
The Hogan family has been going back and forth lately, with Brooke Hogan laying accusations of drug use at her mother Linda Hogan’s door. Linda then responded by saying her daughter had breast implants, among other things, in a letter to Perez Hilton.
"[If] Brooke continues to spew lies on behalf of her father’s lame attempt to distance himself from the reality that he is no different from the homicidal OJ Simpson, [Linda's new boyfriend] will be forced to put aside his paramedic/firefighting career path and release an album called ‘Redemption’ which will easily surpass any of Brooke’s records sales."
And now Brooke’s dad Hulk Hogan is stepping once more into the fray, with a statement from his lawyer, David Houston:
"Brooke Hogan has spoken out in support of her father only because of her mother’s repeated fabricated attacks on him. She is in the unique position of knowing both parties in this litigation and she has only spoken as to what she knows to be the truth based upon her personal experience with each. Linda has refused repeated invitations by Brooke to reconcile and given these recent comments it appears a mother/daughter relationship is impossible at this time. It is sad that Linda Hogan continues to attempt to throw her family under the bus to gain publicity.
In terms of the ongoing divorce suit, Hulk Hogan and his legal team would gladly take Linda up on her offer to submit to a legally supervised drug test and certainly Terry would do the same. We believe the results would speak for themselves and reveal that Linda’s idea of a good time would definitely not be appropriate for Mass or a family restaurant."
Can’t we all just get along?
Hulk Hogan Sides with OJ Simpson?
April 15th, 2009
Uh-oh, Hulk Hogan just comitted the ultimate no-no: likening the rage he feels toward soon-to-be ex, Linda Hogan, to that of OJ Simpson.
The former WWF star tells Rolling Stone he understands why Simpson (allegedly) went on a killing spree, violently murdering ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994.
"I totally understand OJ," he says. "I get it. I could have turned everything into a crime scene like OJ, cutting everybody’s throat."
Yikes! Them’s some fierce fighting words Hulk! But Hogan explains, "You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can’t go to anymore, you’re driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife."
He is referring of course to Linda’s new boyfriend, whom he calls "some shaggy haired pool boy 30 years her junior." Linda reportedly forced Hogan out of his $18 million home and started spending his money at the rate of $40,000 a month.
To be expected, the Hulk’s rep was in full damage control mode on Wednesday, telling Access Hollywood that Hogan, "in no way condones the OJ Situation."
Hogan and Linda are battling it out in a Florida divorce court, where Linda’s attorney claims she’s entitled to use the car and that Hogan’s claims against her are merely an attempt to control her love life.
Nick Hogan Out of Jail
October 21st, 2008
After spending six months in the slammer for reckless driving, Nick Bollea, aka Nick Hogan, was released from Pinellas County Jail in Florida early this morning.
Hulk Hogan’s son was behind the wheel in August 2007 and allegedly racing another car, when he crashed the Toyota Supra, severely injuring his friend and passenger, John Graziano. The former Marine wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and will need medical care for the rest of his life.
Nick was set free for good behavior, and ran right into the arms of sister Brooke Hogan, according to the Tampa Tribune.
Mom Linda Bollea, who is in the middle of a bitter divorce from Hulk, released a statement on Tuesday morning to ask that the media respect the family’s privacy, saying:
"This is our time as a family to come together to support Nick’s adjustment back into the public life, keeping it as normal as possible. Neither Nick, nor we as a family, has any interest in making this anything but private. We respect the media’s role and only ask that they respect our privacy. Nick went into prison as a juvenile and has experienced something that will mold and affect him for the rest of his adult life. His focus is to make a positive difference in this world, media-free. Since his future actions will speak louder than any words, there is no need to speak to the media at this time."
How Much is Hulk Hogan Worth?
September 5th, 2008
Hulk Hogan thinks he knows best when it comes to his net worth – in financial affidavits filed in divorce court near Tampa, Fla., the wrestler, real name Terry Bollea, claims he’s worth $32 million. However his estranged wife Linda Hogan puts his value at $26.7 million.
Money seems to be flying everywhere during the couple’s highly publicized divorce fight – Hulk says he’s dishing out $38,000 per month to pay his legal fees, while Linda is putting down $7,000 on clothing, $7,500 on maid service and about $1,700 on jewelry each month, according to the AP.
While the Hogans duke it out in the courtroom, their son Nick Hogan is in jail as part of his eight-month sentence after being sentenced for causing the crash that permanently disabled his friend John Graziano.
Linda Hogan Wants Hulk Held in Contempt
June 11th, 2008
Linda Hogan, estranged wife of Hulk Hogan, wants her ex held in contempt.
The 48-year-old claims Hulk has failed to pay his share of their $4.2 million Las Vegas condo and has asked a Florida judge to hold him in contempt of court until he coughs up the dough.
Linda is also requesting the 54-year-old to be jailed, specifically in Pinellas County, where their 17-year-old son, Nick, is serving eight months for a car wreck that rendered his friend brain-damaged.
The couple split in November after 24 years of marriage and a court order stipulates they must make equal payments of their Palms hotel living space.
Each has moved on to new relationships; Hulk has been dating Jennifer McDaniel since January while Linda has hooked up with 19-year-old Charlie Hill, a former classmate of her children, Nick and Brooke, 20.
"I’m totally freaked out. This is really weird," Brooke said of the relationship. "I personally don’t like it at all or condone it."
