The Hogan Clan: the train wreck we love
August 4th, 2008
I always though in order to be white trash you had to be dirt poor. Turns out I was wrong. After all, is there anything more white trash than the Hogan family? (Sorry Britney, they even out white trash you.)
There is enough scandal and weirdness with this family to keep a celebrity writer in material constantly. A nasty divorce, nasty arrest and nasty boob job keep this family going. And as with all celebrity stars who are famous for just being famous, this crew has no internal sensor when it comes to dishing the dirt on themselves and each other.
Since it’s been about three seconds since anything scandalous has happened in this dysfunctional family, the Hulkster himself has decided to once again wax poetic on his divorce and soon to be ex wife, Linda. In a chat with US magazine, the wrestler discusses Linda, whom he considers his toughest opponent ever. “Without a doubt, this one is the most formidable opponent I’ve ever run into. You talk about dirty tricks: Brass knuckles, steel knuckles, cheap shots, tripping people up. I’ve never seen anybody in the wrestling business that has more dirty tricks than she does! I guess I taught her well.”
Youch! Bitter much? Linda filed for divorce a few months back after 23 years of marriage. She is currently dating a 20 year old former classmate of daughter Brooke, while the Hulk himself is seeing Jennifer McDaniel, a Brooke look alike. No wonder the Hogan daughter is so messed up.
In the meantime, Brooke herself has spoken out about rumors that she failed to visit brother, Nick on his 18th birthday. Nick is currently in the slammer serving time on a DUI that resulted in the serious injury of his passenger. On her blog she goes off on the media, calling them jerks and generally bitching about them.
“Hey Media! Why don’t you gather facts, check them, and then give the public the truth? That might work. Oh no…I forgot. You make too much money telling LIES. Needless to say, I WAS there for my brother on his birthday because he is my best friend and NOTHING comes before family.”
Hey Brooke, ever hear the one about biting the hand that feeds you?
