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.'"

Ick you have no idea what your talking about. Hogan did not leave her to be with anyone. They seperated and she started sleeping with someone who went to high school with her daughter. If Hogan was dating an 18 yr old we would never hear the end of it. She then followed Hogan and called the cops to say he was stalking her? You can hear the 911 call and the operator ask her what she is doing. This woman is hated in the area she lives in. She is disgusting. Hey linda, 45 yr old overweight women should not wear thongs to the beach. Don't believe a word that comes out of her mouth. "We built this empire." Really Linda, what was your job, spending the money? Hogan was a top wrestler when she met him. All you have to know about her is in a episode of Hogan knows best. Terry says,"You have to stop spending money the way you are or I will have to wrestle until I am 60. Linda,"It is your job to provide me with the lifestyle I have grown grown used to." What a woman.

Actually, you can have opposite sex identical twins. Though it is rare, it is possible. Try doing some research before you open your mouth, or for that matter, start calling names. ;p

OMG! Am i the only person who noticed that brook hogan is the spitting image of stephanie mcman? I will bet dollars to donuts that linda had an affair with vince mcmann and that affair led to the birth of brook hogan. The big question is does hulk know? And for the record, both linda and hulk are wackos.

this is a dumb topic, being debated by even dumber people! he said, she said, none of us know these people or what went on in their private lives, but one thing is clear and thats divorce law. she was no gold digger, she put in 30 years with this man raising his two kids and putting up with him, like she said they had no money when they got together. the comments on here just go to show you how women are treated to a different standard here in the US, like her job at home had no value,and the money was all his simply because his name was on the pay checks and he was the public figure? she put in her time and I am very sure whatever the divorce court here in Florida granted her was the least she was due!! they don't look at who cheated on whom first, simply what are the known marital assets and how much time were the two married to come up with a fair split. 30 years, two kids, no known issues before all this happened? I would say she earned it. as for the young guy, the men have been doing this with young ladies for time immortal and no judgements, its about time for the ladies to be able to play by the same rules, if they want something young and hard more power to em, hulk isn't dating a 65 year old himself???

I am a stay at home wife. Now after reading what all you people say about stay at home wives I am going out to get a job pronto!!! You get no respect at all. I have a college degree and I wasted my young years taking care of others. By now I could have been a CEO of a company. You say I don't deserve 50% of my husbands income? How much does a garder make? How much for a driver to give my son a safe ride to and from school? How much for a tutor? How much for a house cleaner? How much for the laundry? Who is going to stop at the post office? I guess we can peepod the groceries. Who will take the day off for a sick kid? Who will take a day off for a delivery or a repair man? I guess that big german sheapard will have to be locked up for eight hours a day alone. I could go on and on but what is the point. It is a mans world out there.

Yea, let's keep it real. This is what our society is turning into because people actually watch and listen to what these dirt wads have to say. Hahah, who cares. Like she says, "I was a manicurist". Hmmm, guess it all turned out great for her. Hulk is the only down to Earth person on the show. The rest are superficial and lack all intelligence. The son, daughter and wife would literally be homeless and eating white bread slices without his money.
