Reality Brings Out the Worst

Filed under: Reality Television > Brooke Hogan > Hulk Hogan

hogans.jpg

The Hogan clan is a mess and their foray into the reality world probably played a big role in the family's demise, according to reports.

Daughter Brooke, apparently, can't keep her shit together. The prison sentencing of her bro, Nick, has reportedly taken a toll on the 'sensitive' teen.

This came along just as she was getting over the pain of finding out her dad was banging one of her 'friends'.

Hulk and his wife took time off from their divorce-related bickering and tried to portray a unified front during Nick's trial.

The legal drama supposedly brought them closer, but many speculate it was just an attempt to 'play' the media.

Sadly, their “reality” show likely played a large role in the family’s downfall and consequently Nick’s misbehavior.

Hulk knew the pitfalls of reality TV, but he allowed the family to go down that road anyway. He supposedly admitted just days before his son’s final hearing that he “warned” them all against appearing on national television.

“I was offered lots of [reality] shows when I was making my career comeback against The Rock, but I kept saying no. But years later, it was my daughter’s career and son’s racing career that we were thinking about. We saw the Ashlee Simpson show and Jessica Simpson’s and Lindsay Lohan on the big screen and we just didn’t haven’t a vehicle to compete. But I considered it, because this time it was about the Hogan family rather than Hulk Hogan; they all wanted to do it and I tried to warn them about what they were in for. Now look what happened.”

Dina Lohan…you've been warned! One daughter is already fucked up!

    Hey Perez, How about responding to some of the posts people write? I'd like to see how you defend yourself to some of the comments. Please make a space where you answer to comments people make, especially the ones where people point out what a liar, fraud, thief and hypocrite you are.

    These people are exposed for real and on TV for what they are -
    retarded trailer trash.
    Maybe Hulk had brain damage from wrestling, and
    his kids inherited retarded genes.
    Oh, and Linda is obviously one 'special' lady.

    it's too bad that reality shows end up sinking the people who appear in them. i don't feel bad for the hogan's, though. nick is getting what he deserved. it's just sad that brooke is just now realizing what a train wreck of a family she belongs to!

    Families always have smooth periods interjected with crises. Apart from having a crystal ball that actually works, you just face them and do the very best you can.
    Troubles almost always arise from poor choices, unless it's a random tragedy. If you have your head screwed on straight, lotsa cash for a reality show shouldn't cause undue hardship; quite the contrary.

    Just look at this picture.
    First you have Nick, always trying to look like a thug, all black, stupid shades everywhere he goes.
    Brooke (is that her) actually looks better dressed than usual.
    And Dad. Lose the stupid do-rag, you're old and bald admit it. And what's with the fanny pack? If you weren't so big you'd probably get your ass kicked daily just for wearing it. Shave the stupid stash, buy a shirt with a collar already and try to act like a grownup already.
    These 3 need a LOT of help

    Who gives a shit about Nick? That asshole will be out of jail in 8 mos. The other guy will still be in a coma in a nursing home. Nick's the lucky one.

    what comes first? the reality show or the disaster afterwards? we all like to say that it is the reality shows fault for ruining families and marriages…. maybe it is the other way around. maybe people that are already headed for disaster sign on for these reality shows bc they are just trying everything to make a bad situation better.

  24. NOT Reality TV Fault! says – reply to this

    Stop blaming Reality TV and look at your parenting skills. Perez, stop falling for the BS. You should know better than that!

    Couldn't believe they could function is society for being soooo stupid.

    You can't blame cameras following you around for what has happen to your family. Reality TV didn't make you get divorced, has sex with your sisters friend, and make you son drink and drag race.

    Good for you, Hulk. Blame the media and not your parenting skills. Or lack thereof.

    Check out middle-aged 'Mom' Linda Hogan's street-driving on Youtube. He shouldn't blame TV for his jacked-up family — they're all morons, IMO.

    What a sack a shit Hulkie is. For all his "warning" he still put his family on tv. Why? Because HE wanted the exposure. In his eyes its Hulks world, and everyone else is just living in it.

    As far as nasty Nick's behavior, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. And by the way, BROOKE HAS NO TALENT!!!!

    Maybe if you lived life as Terry Bollea, and not the wrestling character Hulk Hogan, your kids wouldn't be such prima donna assholes. :)

    so they used the reality show as a "vehicle to compete" with the likes of the Simpsons and Lindsay Lohan?

    Brooke Hogan still doesn't have a singing career and I don't see Nick Hogan in NASCAR…so come again?

    PATHETIC. They are using their stupid reality show as a scapegoat for their son's reckless, irresponsible behavior. Show or no show, he has an insatiable need for speed that was bound to get him into trouble at some point. Plus, the kids act like such spoiled brats. I loathe people who go through life with a sense of entitlement because of their rich parents or celebrity status. That entire family makes me sick, especially Nick and Linda. Linda is a whiny bitch who needs to fucking die.

    i dont believe linda and hulk were really even getting a divorce i think it was the law suit so they wouldnt get sued as a couple , its kind of fishy the whole thing

    aw, the US injustice system.

  43. I'll Do Linda says – reply to this


    43

    Nick is a little punk wigger, Brooke has absolutely no talent what-so-ever and Hulks days are over as a big name in the wrestling circle. This all comes down to parenting or in this case "lack of". This is just the beginning of the troubles yet to come for Nicky and Brooky. I pray that young John G. will have some semblance of a "life" and the Hogans don't leave this poor young man in their dust. As for Linda she's a MILF and definetly looking good for her age.

    oh yeah… REALITY TV must have held a gun to the heads of his underage brats, bought them beer, souped up their car(s) and encouraged them to illegally race. Nice try Hulk, but that's your signature on the reciept.

    that's it, Hulk, blame reality tv for your family's troubles. Way to take responsibility for your shortcomings as a dad.

    p.s. Nice fanny pack.

  51. Gossip Girl says – reply to this


    51

    How about people in our society start taking responsibility for their actions and stop blaming their actions on everyone and everything around them? I'm sure it was the cameras filming them that gave Nick Hogan alcohol to drink before he drove. I'm also pretty sure sure it was a reality show airing on TV that made Hulk have an affair. Because they would never have done those things without cameras around.

    Leave Brooke Hogan alone! My gosh. She is so young and loves her family and she needs her family right now more then ever. Why is everyone making Brooke out to be such a bad person? She has done nothing wrong. SHE IS SUPPORTING HER FAMILY. WHO WOULDNT? That is what we do. How many of you people that are bashing on her "know her". I bet not one of you. I feel for her. All this is a lot to take in at any age - let a lone her age. The reason people feel that they can bash on her is because her father happens to be famous- back off and give the Hogans some space and show Brooke some respect and fan's show your love and support!!! Pretty soon all you people that are bashing Brooke will be bashing someone else in the spot light in a few days or weeks from now. What about GOOD OLD BRITNEY SPEARS!?!?! UH HELLO..OR LINDSAY LOHAN? OR PARIS HILTON?

    You cant blame doing a reality show for your sons behavior! Obviously he wasnt on tv his whole life. If you watched the show you'd know that unlike Brooke, Nick was pretty much allowed to to do whatever he wanted! Im sure thats not a new occurance since he started doing the show and perhaps its THAT which you should blame for your childs legal woes!

  68. booshdag says – reply to this


    68

    Their shitty reality show couldn't even drum up enough interest in Brooke's "singing career". Flop of the century. For laughs you should watch her awful "music" video on You Tube and laugh as she tries to act feminine and dance like Britney. LOLOLOL! She ought to be ashamed the stupid cunt.

    Re: Gossip Girl – True enough!! I don't find them interesting anyway. Why film this dysfunctional family anyways? Cut the show. Hulk has a big fat ego to match his waistline.

    70

    first off i don't think that hulk was getting into this whole reality show thinking that this shit was going to happen… HELL nobody can predict the damn future for all he knew this was just going to be a fun show, with his family, as for his daughter brooke having a break down, i do feel sorry for her it's obvious that she was very close to her brother just like any of us would be to our own brothers or sisters and to watch your family member be sent to jail must be very hard. and the general public along with the media isn't helping the matter by constantly showing it on tv, THEY NEED TO LEAVE THE FAMILY ALONE AND LET THEM TRY TO WORK OUT THEIR PROBLEMS IN PRIVATE INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY AIRING IT OVER AND OVER ALL IT'S DOING IS MAKING THE PROBLEM WORSE!!!!

  71. J in the Bay says – reply to this


    71

    Just another feeble attempt to deflect blame, and thus dilute the civil judgement…. Pathetic and weak.

    Be a MAN for once, Hulk- own up and take responsibility for your own fuck-ups….. Both of them.

  72. Katty says – reply to this


    72

    Its always easier to blame tv show instead of yourself. But hey, its been in peoples mind for ages (like, oh, it wasnt me, it was the devil, charm, witch…lol).
    I actually like brooke, not for her singing abilities, rofl, but I like the way she looks, when shes dressed and with little makeup, fully natural. She is still so young to realise how life works, especially when you live in a fake bubble, its always harder to learn when everyone tries to protect you from real life.
    Nick is a show-off who just had bad luck, I hope jail will teach him everything his parents couldnt. He actually can benefit from this experience and change, or do nothing and stay with his a-hole ways.
    And whats the big deal with hulk? He just cheated, its not like he killed the whole village. I can think of a 25 more important things to me and humanity than cheating.

    I think their parenting skills are to be much more suspect than their "reality" show. Their reality show did not raise their two children to be spoiled, self-centered, sense of entitlement, thinking they are above the law, BRATS!

    PLEASE……….. who gives a shit……….This is what happens to kids who parents SPOIL them rotten and then some. She needs to get herself a real life stop trying to sing (SHE CAN'T) . Shit happens in people's lives. APparently she is a weal person who really can't handle it. GROW UP LADY ! time to smell what life is really cooking. Brook GO TO SCHOOL………Get a college education…STAND UP FOR YOURSELF…….STOP RUNNING TO DADDY AND MOMMY………..BE the adult you say you are…….It was your brothers fault. You need to realize it……….If I was a judge I would have tossed his dumb ass in jail for 5 yrs………He got off easy……….I for one am SICK of the HOGANS………Go away and live your dumbass lives…………….

    Give me a break- Hulk Hogan did this for his kids- not! Like how seriously is anyone going to take 2 spoiled brats and a wife that is nothing more than a hooker. The whole family feeding off daddy's fame- all the show did was make the family look like greedy idiots. At least the Osbourne kids had some type of ambition that didn't involve bieng tied to daddy's wallet.

  80. Avery says – reply to this


    80

    The mother of John Graziano is exactly right, the Hogan's are the biggest two-faced phonies!!! And for Hulk's information, Nick asked him and his mother on the show (when they already lived in Miami) if he could be a drifter…at 16 without a license. Plus paying for his son to play with expensive cars is not considered a career. The only career Nick has so far is being a criminal.
