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.'"

Vote down Vote up Report this

in my opinion i think she is a very greedy person. and cause of her greed, she is going to lose more then she thinks. money is nice, but is worth losing your kids. greedy old wanna be

By JJfromClearwaterFL

Dude - listen to Bubba(the Love Sponge), he'll tell you. That 19yr old boy is milking that woman for as much of that $40k p/month in alimony as possible. When the gravytrain stops, and that kid finishes puberty, he's gone. Linda, you are acting like white-trash! Do the right thing and maybe you'll get your daughter back.

By Mike

No longer bitter? Then why is she cutting the Hulkster off at the knees every chance she gets? Careful what you say "cradle robber", you still have your kids to content with. Guess looking like a fool hasn't sunk in yet.

By pwood

IDENTICAL TWINS CANNOT BE A BOY AND A GIRL BECAUSE THEY COME FROM ONE EGG THAT SPLIT IN TWO. THEY WOULD BE FRATERNAL TWINS. QUICK QUESTION...ARE YOU REALLY THAT STUPID OR IS IT AN ACT????

By Neener

It just seems to me that if she really wanted her kids around her, she wouldn't date their former classmates. I have no issue with the ages of either Linda or Hulk Hogan's new signifigant others. Linda seems to be intent upon trying to make Hulk look bad but all she's proving she is bitter and tacky enough not to keep things private. They were married for a long time and she was there from the beginning. She was there supporting what he did even though it hurt him because he WANTED to do that. HE's not a victim. They're two people who had a life together that didn't work out. She's turning it into a tacky trailer trash battle.

By T

ummmmmmmmmmm? whyyyyyyy would linda hogan be bitter? that pig of a woman did nothing but latch on to a wrestling icon before he was world famous who made alllll the money. and she gets how many thousands of dollars? if she never met the hulkster she's just be another jaloppy breasted fat babe workin the foodcourt at wal-mart. i say let "hulkamania run wild on her brother"

By Diana

Team Hulk all the way!

By marieeiram

Can anybody tell me why these people are so important that their [boring]lives make the news and why anybody should care!

By Lee

I can't speak for others, but I enjoy reading the comments to find stupid people who don't know when to use a question mark.

By lu

wasnt he sleeping around with one of his dauthers good friends and she forgave him.

By cindy cox

This whole family makes me sick. Their son is driving like an idiot wrecks his car with his friend being critically injured and will probably never be the same again. While the son was in jail all you heard about was his crying how he can't stand it there and the family saying how wrong it was for him be in jail. Basically blaming the friend that was injured. This man will never be the same. He is going to need around the clock care and all they are worried about is themselves.I think they are all crazy. Anyone who watches Brooks reality show is just feeding into their ego's. I use to like the Hulk, but since I seen his jail visis with his son and how they degraded the victim, he makes me sick, too. Scheme to get this brat"their son" a reality show when he got out.Biggest dysfunctional family I have ever seen.They tell us to keep our comments classy. Kind of hard to do when you deal with people like the Hogan's. They couldn't be classy if they had to.

Brooke Hogan just wants her mom to put on a granny robe, glasses and sit in a rocking chair crying over her ex its a new age sweetheart women move on and if its with some one younger even better!

By VENOM

1st of all Hulk Hogan is not your average icon ! He is a f*@king legend "THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME". 1st Pro Wrestler to ever be on the cover of sports illistrated and S.I. Athelete of the year.. Now Terry what cha gatta do is take that Cant Understand Normal Thinking x wench o yours and sling her into the corner and follow her in w the big clothes line, then shoot her off the ropes and catch her in that nasty old mush w the big boot, then ........we all know what happens next.....THE BIG LEG !!!! LAST RIDE MEATBALL. TO ALL MY SEX SLAVES OUT THERE...THUNDERLIPS IS HERE....IN THE FLESH.....BABY!

By steve

This divorce was all about lawyers getting richer. Florida is a 50/50 state. That is it. They had no kids (under 18). Linda wanted 50% of his future earns. Bubba army!

By MRHERITAGE1

IVE BEEN A WRESTLING FAN AS LONG AS IM OLD ENOUGHT TO WATCH TV ON MY OWN AND I VE SEEN THE HULK LIVE AT MANY EVENTS AND IVE NEVER SEEN HER AT RINGSIDE OR IN THE HOSPITAL HOGAN WAS AND IS A AMERICAN ICON JUST LIKE ELVIS OR BABE RUTH ITS A SHAME WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO HIM SHE SHOULD GET SOME KIND OF SUPPORT BUT NOT HALF OF HIS ASSETS SHE IS A GOLDDIGING WHORE

By Vanessa

I think that linda need to grow up. She sits there and talks all crap about Hulk. Ok if it was not for him she would not have anything she has now. Its sad when a guy does everything he can for his family including wife. Then the wife goes files for devorice and they is sleeping with an 18 year old. I know since they have been married for 20 years or so and yes she should get some of it but i do not think she should have gotten everything she got. Maybe 25% that is still alot of dang money. What is going to happen and i hope it does. Is this boy she is with is going to take her for all her money and then leave her. I hope it does happen call mean what ever you what i do not care. But then she is going to go running back to hulk crying she has nothing at all. I hope when that happens he looks at her and tells her f off. Its sad when one of your own kids do not want to be around you. I am not putting all the blame on her, because like in all marige there are two people some case more lol. But he has told people yes i have done thing wrong and i am sorry about it and will let people know i did so thing wrong. But you have not heard her say anything all she has said is that he did this and this. Wake up. Thats all i have to say about it all.

By joe santiago

lindas claim that she help build hogans empire is a joke , vince mcmahon and hogan provided the character and marketing which made hogan rich , she went along for the ride, her main claim to fame is that she is a hogan, and that happened by marriage, while she is entitled to a share of his wealth 50% is a joke

While watching "Hogan Knows Best" in the past, I ALWAYS noticed how envious Linda seemed by Hulk's fame and popularity. Nonetheless, good luck to both of them. I'm positive Hulk will do fine without her.

By Ellie

Hulk made the money that she used to buy houses, lots of houses. She wanted him to buy a house out in California and he refused! Suddenly, she needed a divorce and a big chunk of money. She needs it! She has no talent, no way of making a living, so she has to keep her 19 year old happy in that big white house in Miami and needs $$$$$$$. Hulk got back-doored at a time of his life when he wasn't wrestling and making big money any more. Just living a nice quiet life with the love of his life. How crazy life gets when you don't see things coming.

By terp

i hate linda hogan for what she is and did, typical self centered beotch. she probibly never knew what love was and obviously still dosen't.
