Linda Hogan 'Feared Hulk's Anger'

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 10th 2009 03:47PM

After nearly two years in divorce court, Linda Hogan is finally airing out her dirty laundry. In an interview with Good Morning America, she admits she's "no longer bitter" about the split but still fears Hulk Hogan's temper.

"It scared me because I thought everyone has their snapping point and I didn't want him to snap," she said. "He's threatened my life before, and I don't want him around," she added.

Back in April, Hulk escalated the situation when he spoke to Rolling Stone Magazine. "I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like O. J., cutting everybody's throat," he told the magazine. "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, ... I mean, I totally understand O.J. I get it," he said.

"I don't know if he could go there or not. I knew that he was probably jealous or envious or upset with the whole situation that he didn't have control of me. He didn't know what I was doing, who I was seeing and it bothered him," she said.

Hulk's publicist says he has no history of violence and denies ever stalking Linda. He referred to OJ "as part of a larger conversation to exemplify degrees of emotional turmoil" and "in no way approves of or justifies the OJ situation."

Her initial thoughts right after their split: "It scared me because I thought 'Oh my God, is that my fault? Is he moving on? Am I just a dumb housewife? Am I too fat, am I too dumb?' You just start doubting yourself and that was really sad... We all worked really hard and way too much to the point where we really didn't have any emotion left. We were just robots functioning on a weird level."

How she reacted to Hulk calling her a "Gold digger": "[When we met], I was a manicurist and my husband was a struggling wrestler. We had nothing. We built this empire together."

On dating Charlie Hill and being called a cougar: "He's a great friend and a good soul and a great support system for me... To be honest with you when all that started happening, all the allegations that I'm a cougar, I said 'Could somebody please tell me why cougar, why not lioness?' Now it's my turn to take a bite out of the old apple and see what's out there for me. It makes you a tougher soul in a good way. I'm not bitter, I'm not angry... anymore."

On the rocky relationship with her daughter, Brooke Hogan: "I love her more than anything. That's what makes me tick, my kids. I told her many times 'Please come back. I want to be your Mom. I want to be there. I want to be a part of your life. I love you.'"

Of course Charlie is a good sole, and very supportive of this ole' hag, she gave him everything that hulk has worked so hard for. I just can't wait til' ole Charlie gets tired of laying with someone old enough to be his mom, and starts chasing the young pretty girls his own age. She's living in LA LA Land!

How can Linda be classified as a gold-digger? She was married to Hulk for 20+ years,taking care of him and the kids. That's a busy full-time job in itself. The only gold-diggers I see is Charlie and Jennifer.

I'm tired of hearing about the Beverly Hillbillies!
Let's move on PLEASE!!!!

By jen

well hulk was the one who cheated first..Kudos for Linda who showed him a thing or two and dated a younger man...If i was her i would do the same thing.
And I agree with linda that cougar term is degrading..When a 50 year old man dates a 19 year old woman nobody calls him anything...Its a messed up double standard if u ask me.And Linda did help Hulk with his money she had two kids with him.That in itself is a full time job.

By mitch wheeler

how long were you married to him and your just now saying your afraid and finally divorcing him? So how much money are you paying him for allimony? Time for a reality check. Its all about the benjamins

By JASON

HOW COULD THIS DUMB IDIOT WHO WAS ONLY GOOD AT SPENDING AND NEVER WORKED A REAL JOB SAY THAT SHE HELPED HULK BUILD HIS EMPIRE, GIVE ME A BREAK. ALL SHE HELP BUILD WAS EMPTY BANK ACCOUNTS. THIS SYSYETM SHOULDNT GIVE A PENNY TO THESE IDIOT SPOUSES THAT DONT MAKE ONE PENNY FOR THE HOUSE HOLD CHEAT AND THINK THEY DESERVE HALF

By Rockin

Ol Hulkers cash also bought his old honey a boy toy to stuff up her tummy
and hammer her hiney all night long

By escem59

Charlie is a good soul.And,it makes for a tougher soul.Damm it looks as though Linda's done a bit of soul searching since taking a bite out of Hulks' golden apple azz.

By Linney

I CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW HULK FELT AND WHAT HE SAID. SORRY LINDA, DO NOT BUY YOUR BS AT ALL. IF I HAD WORKED SO HARD TO HAVE WHAT I HAD AND SAW YOU DOING WHAT YOU WERE DOING I TOO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE SAME..AND GUESS WHAT..I AM A FEMALE!!! YOU SUCK LINDA. YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A SKANK GOLD DIGGING WORHTLESS NO GOOD LOSER OF AN EX WIFE. LET THE LITTLE BOY CHARLIE TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE, TAKE YOUR MONEY, DRIVE YOUR NICE CARS. YOU ARE OLD AND UGLY..YOU REALLY THINK THAT KID IS INTERESTING IN YOU? GET REAL..HE IS INTO THE FAME, AND THE FORTUNE YOU DAFT WANKER. AND OF COURSE..THE FREE SEX HE GETS FROM YOU THE STUPID WOMAN WHO THINKS SHE IS HOT CRAPOLA! NOT! HULK IS BETTER OFF WITHOUT HIS GOLD DIGGING WIFE.....HE WORKED HARD FOR WHAT HE HAD AND YOU TOOK IT ALL AWAY. OF COURSE HE FELT LIKE HE COULD HAVE KILLED YOU.....I AM SURE MANY MEN HAVE FELT THAT WAY IN DIVORCE SITUATIONS..AS WELL AS MANY WOMAN TOO. SO REALLY..YOUR SOB STORY DOES NOT EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST MAKE ME FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR SKANK SELF! GO AWAY LINDA...GO FAR AWAY.

By loretta

please she was afraid!! whatever she makes it look bad for people who are afraid of there spouses and are going thru domestic abuse!! give me a break and the 19 yr old shes going out with cant wait for the tell book from him after they break up!!

By nikoman

Obviously many of you have never been married or in long relationships (15-20) years. It isn't easy going from nothing to something and I'm sure that over the years, Linda paid as many dues as Hulk did. As a wife, she had to put up with his stress, pain and anger all while taking care of little ones. Just because the Hulk became a star and made the money doesn't minimalize Linda's role in the relationship. The relationship was defunct long before Linda started seeing her "boy toy" and I don't think that Hogan was an angel. I truly believe that Hulk was blindsided by the break-up of his marriage only because he was so accustom to the relationship always being there and didn't see that it had deteriorated and certainly wasn't ready to let it go without a fight. It's over now and may they both be happy.

Hello everyone!
I am a douche-bag, rotton, good for nothing S.O.B.,
I have no real life or purpose, and I could not pick up a nice chick if my life depended on it. I screwed up in school, became a thug, and have no hope for a future. So now, let me tell you all about this great web site I found......

By Hulk Fear

Im scared of the Hulk to brotheeerrrrrr

By gr8call54

Linda met hogan a week or 2 after the Rocky III movie!!! She knew who he was. After Hogan said he understood OJ the next sentence he talked about how he took the high road!! Dumb people always taking the side of the crazy B*TCH!!! Bubba Army!!!

By stratopunk

To reinvent yourself, when your husband has made you who you are, then flaunt it in front of him is flirting with disaster. Why is this the norm now? Could it be that when people who have everything get bored and depressed need more and more stimulation to convince themselves that are happy? Then they show up at the docs office and of course they have some drug for whatever ails them and it changes them permanently. It happens all the time.

My friend recommended me a very interesting place ____ MillionaireLovelinks.com ____ It's where wealthy singles looking for someone to enjoy their wealthy lifestyle with:)

By ny

She wants to be her daughter and she looks like an old sun wrinkled hag who wears way too much makeup and clothes that are for a much younger person. Become sophisticated Linda and grow up maybe then your kids will give you their respect back.

By danny2o2

First for all you idiots out there, she was married to him. Can u imagine the HULK on cocaine???? I am sure that she endured a lifetime of him sleeping around, partying all night with woman his daughter's age, him telling her were she can go and what to do. The reason they got divorced in the first place is because he was messing around with one of his daughter's friends. She told the public this. So he is FAR from a saint. And when they meet, they were BOTH BROKE. She is correct in saying that they built that boat TOGETHER. Even though he was in the spot light, she was behind the scenes keeping things running, so he wouldn't have to. It is amazing how people feel that someone can give up their WHOLE lives to help and support someone with their dream, and then once they have made it, they deserve nothing. These women who are married to these famous men deserves everything, because without them on the sidelines, they would not have made it this far. Men can barely do everything that a woman does to keep their household going, can you imagine if they had to do that AND try to take care of children, make a money, and keep the money coming??? Oh yeah you can, look at all the famous men who are now BROKE!!!!!!

By Sandy

Linda could have and would have had her daugther's respect if she would have acted like a woman instead of trying to be a teenager by dating a teenager. She totally embarrassed her daughter and herself. Does she really think the teenager she's hanging with truly wants to be with her? It's a conquest for him and a free ride. He's making her look even more stupid. Grow up Linda, find someone your age not your IQ

By joyce

frankly, i really dont think she should all the cars and house and whatever else. i think it should be split down the middle. all the things that was bought while they were married belongs to both partys , not just one. i think linda is very selfish.
hulk is the one that made all that money anyways.split it down the middle.
