Is The Hogan Divorce A Distraction???

Filed under: Hulk Hogan

mx0045026__opt1.jpg

Lawyer's for the family of the victim in the Nick Hogan car crash think that the Hulkster's divorce from wife of nearly 25 years, Linda, is merely a ruse.

Kimberley Kohn, a Tampa attorney who represents Ed Graziano, the father of injured passenger John Graziano, is doubting the Hogan divorce.

She claims that Hulk and Linda are splitting in a move to protect their assets.

The Graziano family is planning to sue the Hogans and if they are divorced, they would have to go after each one individually, making it much more difficult.

John Graziano has been hospitalized since the August accident and is pretty much brain dead. His family wants the Hogans to pay for his medical care for life. And they should!

    I am sure Hulk Hogan has CAR INSURANCE plus an UBMRELLA POLICY. People with money always have an umbrella policy to insure them up to their net worth.

    If it is a scam how horrible of the Hogans to do that. They should stand up and offer to pay the bills without the threat of suing. It was their dumbass son that caused the wreck, and I am sure they bought him the supped up car.

    Yes, seems like that is what is going on… I did find it odd that the divorce is going on in the middle of all this Nick stuff. Nick needs to pay… what a horrible thing to live with. I hope this family goes down… sad to say but they were asking for it.

  36. They Should not have to PAY! says – reply to this


    36

    That is bullshit,, they should not have to pay,,
    if their son is going to be judged as an adult than he should pay as an adult,, if the son Nick has money take his money,, but if he is old enough to be tried and judged as an adult then his parents should NOT have to pay,, that is a double standard,, that is total bullshit,,
    plus the guy that got into his car was an adult ,, it's his own fault for not getting out of the car ,, he wanted to go fast,, just like NICK did,, so wow,, he is a veggie now,, dumbass should of wore his seatbelt or not got in,,

    38

    I had a feeling that there was more to the story. I have to admit, I have watched their show a few times and heard them speak about breaking up before… but they were in the process of trying to repair their relationship. This seems like a sheisty move to keep the Graziano family from getting what they deserve for their son. Nick's license should be suspended indefinitely… him and Britney.

  39. bbeyes says – reply to this


    39

    i dont think they should have to pay. Make nick pay; he's the one who was racing. I think he is being a spoiled brat and not taking responsibility for his actions. mommy and daddy can't protect and support him his whole life.

  41. omegadawg says – reply to this


    41

    Why should they pay Graziano's medical care for life? Is there evidence that he was coerced into the vehicle? If not, I think it more likely that he was an accomplice than an innocent victim.

    I don't believe that people should have to pay just because the are rich.

    wow, this is gettin interesting… NOW, where's the post about Britney Spears' driver quitting?!?!

  43. cayt says – reply to this


    43

    they absolutely should NOT. i have a serious issue with accidents like this. I feel so horrible for the family of that poor boy, but the fact is he got into the car ("Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are" - I am sure he was not oblivious to Nick's driving or his behavior throughout the night); then Nick got into an ACCIDENT.

    Their poor child is brain dead. How long are they planning to keep his injured body around to look at in a hospital bed? That's just unfair to everybody involved.

    i dont think the hogans should pay for his expenses. It was not there fault that there son got in the car with their son. i think if anything nick should be accountable but not the parents. people think that if they fuck they can go after the people who have money, shit tell the father to get a job to help his son.

    Nick is 17, he will be 18 july of next yr

    52

    as much as what their son did was horrendous, vile and sick
    he caused the accident and as long as he above 18yrs old and legally an adult (in the UK anyway) he should be held responsible for his actions
    i have never posted here bet to bame his parents is stupid
    they aren't perfect (infact rather vile) but how many families are?

  53. .. says – reply to this


    53

    Re: chico34 – yes the dad of the victim should pay for his care forever because someone else made his son a cripple, good poing ok….

    if that's true, then that's fucking genius. dirty, but brilliant.

    i think nick should have to pay for his friend's health care and whatnot. it should be part of the punishment.

  55. Julia says – reply to this

    Wouldn't they sue just the son not the whole family??? Im from New zealand not the USA so I dont know much about your crazy legal system but what have his parents got to do with his sons crash??

  59. nick hogan is a brat says – reply to this


    59

    God Nick Hogan is such an inconsiderate little brat. It's amazing how 1 freakin spoiled kid can cause so much trouble for everyone he knows. He made his friend brain dead because he has a lead foot, and he's forcing a divorce in his family (be it the reason above or because its a real divorce). They always say to tell your children it's not their fault you're divorcing, but in this case it IS Nick's fault. He's such a little douche bag. Even on their show he's a spoiled brat who only thinks about himself. Just lock that kid up, he screwed up everying.

    I understand according to reports that the victim in the car accident wasn't wearing his seatbelt. At what point does the victim take responsiblity for not having a regard for his own safety. I'm just guessing, he wasn't exactly telling Nick to slow down or not race. Perhaps he was a willing participant. I know the family of the victim is crushed, but it seems like their anger is misplaced. Nick was driving yes, but the victim should have taken the responsiblity of his own safety and buckled up.

    The Hogans should pay for the initial bills…however…Graziano CHOSE to get in that car and knew that his friend likes to race! They should not have to pay for life nor should the family be all SUE HAPPY!!! It's a HORRIBLE thing that happened…it was a HORRIBLE ACCIDENT!!!

    I agree they should have to pay for the expenses, at least partially. However, I think it's really amazingly rude to sit there and question a divorce saying it's a legal tactic. Low, low, low.

  67. Miranda says – reply to this


    67

    Why should the hulk and his wife have to pay? Their son is not 10, its his problem and he should have to be the man he thought he was getting behind the wheel. He was old enough to be behind the wheel, hes old enough to deal with it. I just hope thats not the reason this family is seperating. I love the hulk and no punk ass son should break that up.

    My question is that even if they are divorced & the assets are divided however that would go, both parents are going to named b/c at the time of the suit & the time of the accident they have full equal custody of nick. Even w/ a divorce they will both have to pay whatever the judge decides.

    73

    Well, their children work so hard–what with all the dance routines and practice driving. Nick and Blaire (or whatever) have earned the status that their father's fame afforded them. And the Hogan family have a right to take themselves seriously. They are contributing members of society, not bad examples of wealthy Americans fooling themselves about their redeeming qualities. Attention must be paid.

  74. Jail Time Sonny says – reply to this


    74

    This kid is the epitome of "dumb kid." Daddy's rich, watch me ruin multiple lives in public. I'm on a racing team, oh, they dumped me while I was saying that. I've done nothing in life but make a vegetable, wanna race? This kid is putting out press releases while his buddy eats through an IV. He should be in his own self-imposed jail, but since he can't stop playing Hulk Jr. he should go to a real one. More roids please!

    Doesn't Nick Hogan have a history of driving dangerously? What DOES that little shit do for a living, anyway?

  76. NICKS PRISON CELL WILL BE SMALL says – reply to this


    76

    To all you dumbfucks out here who thinks Nick isn't responsible; I can assume you are all stupid teenagers who don't even have a license, because the FIRST FUCKING THING they teach you in drivers ed is that the moment you take the wheel YOU are responsible for the safety of everyone in your vehicle.
    Whether or not John has his seatbelt engaged is moot. Nick was driving, and he had John in his car, thus he is responsible for the wellbeing of his passengers.

    Oh get a grip! That kid got in the car by choice did not tell him to pull over to get out! He new his friends driving record but got in the car WITHOUT a seat belt!

    The kid wasnt wearing a seatbelt…..so its his own fault for the situation he is in. AND nobody forced the kid in the car, its a risk that HE took. Another reason everyone is sobbing around for the kid is because he was serving in Iraq. The reason Nick is okay is because he is smart enough TO WEAR A SEATBELT. So all of you catty, jealous people quit getting your thrills from a wealthy, good families down fall. They will over come this, its not like Nick did it on purpose.

    Re: MissMottin

    Since he wasn't wearing a seat belt during the accident the military will NOT pay for his medical expenses. This was told to me by my fiance who is in the military.

    Also, the Hogans have been having marital problems for a LONG time now. Just because they hadn't gotten divorced before doesn't mean this is a sham. Who knows though, it certainly is a distraction from what is going on with their son.

    I think out of consideration for their friend they should help pay the medical expenses. It is only right considering the condition he is in and the fact that it was their underage son who was driving. Whether it is their responsibility or not, how could one not want to help out in a situation like this?

    The Hogans should NOT have to pay for medical care for this kid…why would a dead body even need medical care if he is brain dead?? nick and john both chose to screw around, I'm sure John was having a good old time before he died. YOu really think John was saying "Now, slow down there, Nicky, we're going too fast in this souped up car with my seatbelt off." He is just as guilty. It was just a horrible accident caused by two jackass kids. At least they didn't kill anyone who was innocent. Just Thank God for that!

  88. MAS says – reply to this


    88

    Yes, if Nick is an adult, then the parents should not have to pay (legally at least) EXCEPT that you're all missing a very important fact. I highly doubt that Nick owned the car he was driving, it was probably his parent who owned it. There is a legal argument to be made that they should be liable for permitting their son to drive their car knowing that he participates in street racing where a passenger or someone on the street can get injured.

  89. The law is... says – reply to this


    89

    Linda and Terry are liable for the accident b/c Nick was a minor during the time of the accident, regardless of VA status for John G. The VA shouldn't have to pay for an accident caused by severe negligence. If anyone knows the VA, they don't pay for years anyway, so the family is really going to need financial help. It's also Nick's fault that John wasn't wearing a seatbelt. I mean, come on you idiot. If you plan on drag racing, at least be sure that your passengers are buckled up. It's not like John signed a release of liability or anything before he got in the car. Now, the fact that Nick is a minor, means that the parents are responsible. And the Hogan parents should be financially responsible b/c they bought Nick the car to begin with. Sorry Hulksters. I am sad to hear about this divorce, and I hope that it IS a sham and not the real deal. In any case, Nick to be majorly bitchslapped fofr being such an idiot. And probably the State of Florida will take his drivers license and formula 1 license away so he can't endanger anymore lives. PS Brook ROCKS!

    The Hogans are disgusting people! All four of them deserve to die! Hulk and Linda are horrible people, and they couldn't raise their damn kids right so now their daughter is a tranny desperate slut and their son is a murderous monster! And now their plotting to try and save their ASSets? What disgusting fuckers! They should just make a suicide pack and kill themselves and leave that poor boy all their money!

    I had my doughts too. They faked it for the show (ratings) That is BS! They care more about their assests then what their stupid spoiled brat son did. And his mother is an idiot too!
    The sad part is that a young man is now brain damaged because of Nick Hogan, they need to own up to what he did and pay this family some money. Caring for this young man is not going to be easy financially and emotionally.
    Stop with the phony divorce HOGANS and pay up!

    okay so yeah maybe nick should cover some medical expenses but come on!

    its known that he was a car racer and if you're into car racing you should be held responsible for your own actions. What retard now a days doesnt wear a seatbelt? ummm hello? specially in a 150k car? what those are just made for cruising?
    allways looking for $ now adays looking for someone to blame xcept themselves…

    last time I checked, you usually sue the person at fault - not everyone they happen to be related to.

    Hey Donald Trump's second cousin once removed rear-ended me yesterday - can I sue the Donald for billions?? Get real… they are getting greedy. The accident has nothing to do with the driver's fucking parents…

    fuck people are greedy makes me sick
