Truth Or Just Lies?

Filed under: Legal Matters > Nick Hogan

wenn1046344.jpg

Not sure who to believe here, but we're inclined to believe the victim's side.

Apparently, the Hogans are receiving threatening phone calls by a member of John Graziano's family, the kid Nick Hogan practically killed when he crashed his car last year.

Clearwater Florida police are investigating the phone calls made to the Hogans.

According to police spokesman Doug Matthews, he could not say or confirm which member of the Graziano family made the threats.

He also couldn't say which member of the Hogans was receiving them. How about ALL of them????

The attorney for the Hogans, Morris Weinberg, does confirm that police have listened to the threatening voicemails, though no information on what's being said in the messages has been released.

Weinberg adds, "Does the family take it seriously? Yes, they do."

Call us cynical, but….

Could the Hogans just be trying to blame the Grazianos and give them bad press for a while?

We'll have to wait and find out, as no arrests have been made yet.

    tmz has the voicemails that you can listen to and they are pretty graphic and scary!! Hogans certainly haven't been doing things to help their cause, but the voicemails left by the victims family will eventually lead to an arrest because they are pretty threatening!! Sad!

    What I dont understand is this: Everyone is hating on Nick. BUT Both of the kids had been drinking earlier in the day, and John KNEW that Nick was a racer AND was a racer himself. He didnt have to ride with him…if the tables were turned I am sure the story would be playing out a lot differently.

    Perez-about 2 weeks ago John Graziano's brother was on a local radio show (Tampa 93.3) talking about his brother and the Hogans and the phone calls…let me just say he sounded PSYCHO. I mean I can understand being completely upset about what happened but this guy seriously sounded like he would have no problem ripping apart each Hogan piece by piece. He was very violent during the interview and I would not be surprised if he was calling to threaten them. He scared ME just listening to his voice. He definitely acted like he was plotting to do something to him. I don't know how to get the audio but if you listen to the interview you'll see what I mean.

    why r u so hard on this boy?????? He is serving his time. Yes he was drinking and driving BUT that friend knew that and was also drinking. he done wrong by drinking and driving but anything can happen. do you all think that this could not happen to you because it can. Just ask yourself would you want your FRIEND to be punished if it happened to you, because you got in a car with someone you had been drinking with that day??????AND if you do your not a really good friend anyways. ANYONE CAN WRECK AND HURT THERE FRIEND OR FAMILY THAT DOSENT MEAN THAT THEY NEED TO BE PUNISHED. NICK did not force this boy in the car with him!!!!! He should have only been punished for drinking and driving, I really dont think that he wanted this to happen.

    IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE!!! HE GOT IN THE CAR UNDER FREE WILL (JOHN). IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! I MEAN HELLO PEREZ. GOD FORBID THIS HAPPENED TO YOU HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF AN ACCIDENT WAS TURNED TO BE ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A FAMOUS FATHER. THIS WASNT A FIRST TIME THING SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LOOK AT BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY BEFORE YOU POST YOUR MEAN AND UNTHOUGHTFUL COMMENTS. P.S. THE GRAZIANOS ARE ALSO DUMB FOR NOT REALIZING THIS IS A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AND TIME IN THEIR LIFE AND TRY TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT AND MOVE ON AND WORK WITH THE HOGANS WITH THEIR RESOURCES INSTEAD OF MAKING MORE ENEMIES.

    I heard John Graziano's brother on the local Tampa radio station being interviewed by MJ about 2 weeks ago, and let me tell you, he was ready to KILL someone! He scared the shit out of ME! I would not be surprised if John G's brother was the guy making these threats he was PSYCHO when I heard him live on air. I don't know how to get the audio from 93.3 FLZ, but seriously if you listen to that then you might not feel so bad for the "victims".

    I agree with a lot of the other posters here. I hardly think the "victim" is 100% innocent in this situation. He is a grown man who got into a car with a drunk, while they both like to race cars. Like he wasn't telling Nick to go faster.

  25. Lanie says – reply to this

    It was John's brother making the threatening calls. He's CRAZY!

    OK so why is everybody shittin on the Hogans.

    This kid got in the car with the intent of racing…RIGHT OR WRONG

    this kid was NOT wearing a seat belt…..RIGHT OR WRONG

    Nick has been convicted and is doin his time. I feel bad but this family is acting as if this kid John was innocent bystander who got caught in the cross fire.

    HEY GRAZIANOS: If you would have taught your kid to wear a seat belt he would be normal….

    HEY HOGANS: If you would have disclipined your kid he would not have been racing….

    I BLAME BOTH SIDES NOT ONE OR THE OTHER….BOTH KIDS HAVE THE WORST PARENTS AND I BLAME BOTH PARENT

    The cops are looking for the guy. Who's last mname isn't even Graziano!!!! He's a step brother but now his last name is graziano. I love who perez gets everything wrong by simply making things up. lol Now U say tha the hogans are doing it to get media attention away from them? You're such a shit sack!!

  28. Laure says – reply to this

    Ashle, I heard MJ's interview on 93.3 with John's brother also. He is COMPLETELY insane. Scared me just listening to him going off during the interview. The Hogan's should be scared and should definitely file a restraining order.

  29. 29

    John's family probably has been threating the"Hogans". After all that shit in the press with the hogans blaming John G for the whole thing, the Graziano should be pissed. I just hope that they can sooth the grief in their hearts and sue the shit out of the Hogan family!!!

    Maybe John should have worn his seat belt. Maybe none of this would have even happend then…just sayin!

  32. 32

    Just heard the audio… Yea that brother needs a physiological evaluation and some jail time… Hopefully both family's will NEVER street race again and both John and Nick were stupid for doing so.

    The Hogans are just trying to deflect the bad press for their disgusting behavior towards the young man in the hospital. Hogan's son is a jerk and needs to stay in jail. He's so spoiled and foul - Mommy/Daddy get me outta jail now! Give me a break my cube is smaller than his cell and I don't get to make phone calls during the day and I didn't even harm/almost kill someone. The only Hogan show I'd watch is to see all of them get a good swift kick in the entitled asses! What a bunch of scum!

    There are no winners here, however Nick is honoring his punishment, we all know darn well this kid John loved and thrived the spotlight of hanging with the Hogans, I am sure he liked the money they spent on him…this does not excuse the horrific accident, but I am sure being the young adult he was, he was probably egging Nick on in that car, everyone knows to put your seatbelt on…what a lesson to everyone else who is in the driver seat you are the ultimate person responsible do not press the gas peddle unless everyone is wearing their seatbelt….this family (john's) is just out for blood money. We all make mistakes and John made one of them also as unfortunate as that is, we are ultimitely responsible especially as adults to put that seat belt on!!! I am sure there would have been a different outcome.

    So are you dumbasses saying all drunkdrivers are not to blame…sorry YOU become responsible the moment you turn your key….THAT brat is to blame. Period. He was the one with his foot the gas.

    i hate their family with a burning passion, nick basically killed a kid and now they are trying to make their family look bad. nick should be locked up for a while and the rest of his family so go somewhere to die.

    Hi Perez! I think we need to remember that John was not forced into that car. Right or wrong it was accident. Do you remember doing stupid things as a kid….I do. I'm just lucky we didn't get hurt. Luck was not on their side.
    Love the site……

  41. jdog says – reply to this
    41

    Hey, it's not Nick's fault John wasn't wearing a seatbelt….Nick was wearing one and I'm pretty sure John encouraged the race so, you can't really put all of the blame on Nick….The Hogan family has apologized numerous times, you can only do so much…Such is life

    A new show with Nick out of prison but now his diet smoehow consists of only tossed salad,Hulk has his new girlfriend,Linda has her new boyfriend and Brooke becomes a porn star because she can't sing.What a fucked up group.The episode when they throw a kosher party told me they are SO STUPID. They should have stayed in Tampa with their chickens,etc.How about a reality show with them going to school.

    The Hogans will Never get my sympathy!!! You should never make threats but I don't trust the Hogans, I wouldn't be surprised if they did made the phone calls. Honestly, I would be mad too if I was that poor boy Johns family but violence is never the answer. I felt bad for Nick at first until I heard the jail phone calls. He is a jerk, his father is a jerk, his mother is weird and poor Brooke she is just stuck in between these weird people. I hate Hulk the most, I wont watch that gladiator show because he is on it. Would they all go away and Brooke needs to stay away from all of them.

    I was watching "showbiz" last nite… and i saw them talking about how The Hulk wants Nick to do a reality show as soon as he gets out of jail??!?! They were also discussing Hulks appearance on Lary King, lol unbelievable… what is wrong with this family, and seems like the mother only cares about young d*ck, her son is in jail and shes f*cking some young guy. Old whore…

    Although I think Nick should be punished for what happened however, Nick Hogan did not force John Graziano to not put his seat belt on. I dont think The Hogan family deserves all the blame. (Except for Linda Hogan who in my opinion is a child molester and a money grubbing Cunt) I feel bad for both families however… LIke I said the kid wasnt wearing a seat belt.

    PEREZ! Didn't you see that guys brother after the verdict was read and their family came walking out of court!!?? The whole FAMILY is psycho, they're probably members of the Italian mafia!!! Especially that dude's brother! I totally believe it! They look like they're a couple sandwich's short of a picnic. Especially that guys dad. I totally understand why John was with the Hogans, they were (at the time) safer than his own family. Hell I would run from them too!

    The MAN that almost died in the crash was not wearing his seatbelt. He was a grown man and should have known better. Nick is a child. Any other child, one not nationally known would not be treated like this. Why are you on this man's side? Wear your seatbelt, esp. if your in the car with a young person who's been illegally drinking in your presence. The Man was irresponsible and now is paying the price.

  51. 51

    Perez, the tapes were posted on TMZ way before you posted this. You should look at that before you post such things! With that being said, yes John did get in the car on his own will, knowing the situation. They're both to blame, John justgot the shit end of the stick. The reason I think the Grazianos are so upset now is because the Hogans are making it seem like Nick is the innocent one in all of this and Linds even said that the Grazianos arent suffering. Um yea, I would be pissed too.

    I'm not saying Nick isn't at fault but the guy was not wearing his seatbelt! THAT WAS HIS CHOICE! Not Nick's…..Nick was smart enough to wear his…..It all goes back to Darwin…..only the smart will survive…. You have to be pretty ignorant not to wear your seatbelt…….

    "practically killed"??? was not nick in the same car?? if nick had not been wearing his seatbelt, he could be in the same shape as the other guy. they were both in the car. nick did not run him over. he lost control and hit a tree, causing the injuries. if the car had hit on the other side, it would have been him in the hospital. I agree he is a puke since this happened, but stop BLAMING him for the accident. he did not aim his car at the tree to try to kill his friend. asshole.

    John, and Nick BOTH almost killed themseleves, and put other innocent people in danger. They are EQUALLY guilty if John wasn't in a hospital bed, and they hit someone else he'd be in jail too. Sorry that John has suffered so much, but better than him than some innocent passer-by. I feel bad for John's family because of how JOHN'S STUPID DECISION hurt them.

    For the record I don't like the Hogans either. I hope Nick learns his lesson, and serves his time. The family is a bunch of white trash.

    I think it's perverse that you imply the hogan's are happy about what happened. watching you - perez - over the last few months get tackier and tackier - vulgar comments about people having miscarriages and real tragedies like this has gotten me to the point where I think your 15 minutes are about over. I think I'm done with your site. I know you'll keep middle america entertained for a bit longer, but for me the novelty has worn off and I think I am done.

    It was confirmed that it was the half brother of the kid who was injured. Don't you know that Nick Hogan has to live with this and is probably having a terrible time. Get a life and quit exploiting people, mind your own business. I get sick of hearing you say there all of these worth while causes, and preach on peace when you are ENCOURAGING hate on your blog. Something to think about.

    why is it John is not being held responsible in any way? After all he got in the car with Drunk Hogan and didn't even bother to put on his seat belt! I understand that Hogan must be punished but come on!! Doesn't JG deserve to take any responsibility for his part?
