Brooke Hogan Apologizes for Allegations Against Father
Originally posted 07/24/2008 01:30PM
Brooke Hogan issued an apology for making what she now calls false allegations that her father Hulk abused her mother.
"I did it under significant pressure from my mother," Hogan, 20, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement. "It was only after I learned all the facts that I realized I made a big mistake in signing it."
Hogan released the statement after a tabloid reported that she had signed a legal affidavit accusing her father, whose real name is Terry Bollea, of verbally and physically abusing wife Linda during their marriage.
Linda, 48, filed for divorce last November, and her attorney told PEOPLE it was going to be "war."
Her attorney was not available for comment. A rep for Hulk Hogan declined to comment.

Brooke Hogan Calls Mom's Behavior 'Disappointing'
Originally posted 07/10/2008 03:10PM
As the nasty divorce between Hulk Hogan and his estranged wife Linda slogs on in the courts, their daughter Brooke sees a silver lining.
"I don't think our family is falling apart or getting destroyed," the 20-year-old told Access Hollywood. "I just think it's rearranging itself in the way God meant it to be – because it wasn't working how it was."
As for her 48-year-old mother publicly dating a 19-year-old (one of Brooke's former classmates), the aspiring singer admitted that it's "kind of disappointing."
"She was always my hero when I was growing up," Brooke said. "I feel like I have to be the mother now."

Linda Hogan Claims Hulk Is Stalking Her
Originally posted 07/03/2008 11:45AM
The acrimonious split between the Hogans has gotten even nastier.
Linda Hogan filed court documents on June 30 seeking to prevent her estranged husband from harassing her. In the documents, first reported by TMZ.com, Linda Hogan, 48, claims that Hulk Hogan, 54, "relentlessly and methodically" follows her, "causing her anxiety and fear for her safety at all times." The motion also claims that Hulk "has a history of violence" towards Linda, "and is capable of attacking [her] at any time."
In a statement, David Houston, a lawyer for Hulk (whose real name is Terry Bollea) shot back: "Linda Bollea's allegations are pure fantasy, in line with her recent 911 call that has been widely played in the media.
"On May 22, Linda called 911 claiming Hulk was stalking her, which Hulk vehemently denied. Since November, Terry Bollea has been in Los Angeles working. The limited time that he has spent in Florida has been solely to visit his son and daughter. In addition, he has no history of violence."

Hulk Hogan: I Still Love Linda
Originally posted 06/26/2008 04:15PM
Terry "Hulk" Hogan tells PEOPLE in its latest issue that he "unconditionally" loves his wife, Linda, despite their increasingly acrimonious divorce – and he's happy to have reconciled with his daughter, Brooke.
"I unconditionally love my wife, even though we're not together anymore," Hogan says. "The Linda that I know was a great mother and a great person."
Admitting that there had been problems in the marriage for a decade, Hogan, 54, concedes during an exclusive interview that letting cameras into their home for their hit VH1 show, Hogan Knows Best, may have been a mistake: "I just think the reality show amplified the problems that were already there."

Hulk Hogan: Jailed Son Nick 'Is in God's Hands'
Originally posted 06/11/2008 01:15PM
Hulk Hogan broke his silence on his son's imprisonment and his wife’s new relationship on Larry King Live Tuesday.
"He made a mistake," Hogan said of his son Nick Bollea, 17, who pled no contest after a reckless driving incident last August that left his friend, John Graziano, in critical condition. Bollea is currently serving an eight-month sentence in a Florida jail.
Hogan broke down when discussing the difficulties his family has faced over the last several months. "Yeah, it's been hard," he said. "The main focus is my son, my children and John Graziano. This is in God's hands. Things happen for a reason. This is to make Nick a better person. This is, in my belief, this is to make John a better person. Like I said before, it’s God’s will, where we’re at.”

Nick Bollea Transferred Out of Solitary Confinement
Originally posted 06/05/2008 08:20PM
Hulk Hogan's teen son Nick Bollea was moved out of solitary confinement to a cell with three other juveniles, jail officials in Florida said Thursday.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said the move was the "result of routine and ongoing assessments of inmate population and classification," the St. Petersburg Times reports.
The sheriff made no reference to Bollea's legal challenge to being held in solitary, which a judge had rejected.

Nick Bollea to Remain in Solitary Confinement
Originally posted 06/03/2008 09:00PM
A Florida judge refused Tuesday to release Hulk Hogan's son from solitary confinement, where the teen is serving a sentence for felony reckless driving.
In a three-sentence order, Judge Philip J. Federico denied a motion filed Monday by attorneys for Nick Bollea, 17, claiming the confinement was "cruel and unusual punishment."
The judge did not disclose his reasons for the decision. But a court spokesman says the judge studied the motion looking for legal issues to be argued.
"Had there been a need for such arguments, a hearing would have been scheduled," court public information officer Ron Stuart said, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

Hulk Hogan's Son Sues Sheriff Over Jailhouse Tapes
Originally posted 06/03/2008 02:05PM
Nick Bollea is suing a Florida sheirff's department for releasing tapes of his jailhouse conversations with his mother and wrestler father Hulk Hogan, attorneys said Tuesday.
The suit alleges that the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office violated Bollea's privacy rights and seeks to stop the sheriff from releasing further tapes.
"Nick only asks that he be treated no differently than the other inmates at the Pinellas County Jail," says Bollea attorney Morris "Sandy" Weinberg. "Instead, the Sheriff's Office has singled him out by the unprecedented release to the media of his personal calls with his family."

Nick Bollea: Get Me Out of Solitary Confinement
Originally posted 06/02/2008 02:25PM
Nick Bollea's attorneys requested Monday that he be moved out of solitary confinement, where the teen-age son of Hulk Hogan is serving a sentence for felony reckless driving.
Bollea, 17, spends 16 to 17 hours a day in a maximum security cell in a Florida jail where his food is delivered through a slot in the door, his attorneys said in a court filing seeking a transfer to monitored home confinement or the minimum-security area.
"Understandably, this situation creates an unbearable anxiety for a minor in solitary confinement," the papers say.
