The trashtastic Hogans have gone from D-List family to permanently on the Z-List.
This past weekend, The Hulkster's money-hungry and soon-to-be former wife Linda decided to attend the Extreme Fighting Championships Mixed Martial Arts show in downtown Tampa, Florida.
As her guests she took her I-can't-drive-for-shit son Nick Hogan, fresh out of jail, and her I'm-just-here-for-the-money teenaged boyfriend.
But, during the event the MC took the time to give a shout out to the dysfunctional family. While the three blonde airheads thought they'd get a lot of praise, the entire crowd started to boo them!
The booing got even louder when Nick jumped out of his seat for the crowd.
Just yesterday in a statement after her son, Nick, was released from jail, she asked the media to give her family some space and privacy.
She said, "Neither Nick, nor we as a family, has any interest in making this anything but private. We respect the media's role and only ask that they respect our privacy. Since his future actions will speak louder than any words, there is no need to speak to the media at this time."
But of course Linda isn't one to miss a press opportunity!!!!
On, Tuesday outside her Florida home, she gave an impromptu press conference.
Standing in front of a homemade sign that read "Welcome Home" and some yellow balloons, Linda said, "I cried when I hugged him," when she saw Nick.
She added, "Basically we just feel that we as a family wanna stay private. I hope everybody can respect his privacy. He's had six months in jail, and he's just gotta try to regroup and remold his life.
If only the same could be said of the victim of that horrible crash!
Adds the cougar, "In the future I think his actions will speak louder than words, so really there's not a whole lot else to say. I think when people just watch, [they'll see] he's a changed person."
And when she was asked just how he's changed, the private mom said, "For the better. You know he really just wants to try to be serious and make a difference, wants to look into colleges and just be a kid.”
As we mentioned earlier today, Hulk Hogan's son, Nick Bollea, was released from jail at 12:30am Tuesday.
Nick served only 166 days of his eight month sentence.
As he left the jail, Nick was greeted only by sis Brooke, as his parents apparently care more about not seeing each other than seeing their son.
But, now, mommy is speaking out.
Linda Hogan has released a statement asking everyone for privacy. Hee hee.
This from the same lady who agreed to have her personal life video taped for TV?
Linda says, "This is our time as a family to come together to support Nick's adjustment back into the public life keeping it as normal as possible. Neither Nick, nor we as a family, has any interest in making this anything but private. We respect the media's role and only ask that they respect our privacy."
Is anyone still reading????
Do you really care about Linda Hogan????
She continues, "Nick went into prison as a juvenile and has experienced something that will mold and affect him for the rest of his adult life. His focus is to make a positive difference in this world, media free. Since his future actions will speak louder than any words, there is no need to speak to the media at this time."
Wonder when daddy Lohan Hogan will release his own statement?
Nick Hogan is a free man man as of this very Tuesday morning.
The reckless driver was just released from a Florida jail, his sentence reduced for good behavior.
No need to pull off the freeways just yet - his driver's license is still suspended for the next three years. And we still get the pleasure of seeing him complete 500 hours of community service.
He got out at 12:30am this morning and was greeted by his brother in drag sister, Brooke.
His parents, however, were nowhere to be seen. They were probably each nestled in their respective tanning beds, spooning their spousal look-alikes.
Meanwhile, Nick's former friend and passenger from that fateful crash, John Graziano, remains in a vegetative state and his family unleashed the legal hounds in a civil case against the Hogans back in May.
Nick's community service should be having to tend to his victim.
The little Hogan twerp is getting out earlier than we would have liked.
On October 21st, Hulk Hogan's son, Nick Bollea, returns to the streets - three months before he was originally sentenced to. His early release comes as a result of good behavior.
Really?
Filing a lawsuit against the prison is good behavior?
Or is it because he whined, bitched and cried so much that the other inmates wanted him out?
It's supposedly "standard procedure" for all inmates to use accumulated credit toward early release.
But, it's not exactly reassuring to know that idiots can return to the streets just for being "good." After all, Nick's reckless driving and resulting crash placed his passenger - John Graziano III - permanently on life support.
Nick was sentenced to 8 months in jail after pleading no contest to felony reckless driving charges. He began serving time immediately after his May 9th trial. In addition to the time, he also faces 500 hours of community service, 5 years probation, and a 3 year suspension on his driver's license.
Brook Hogan's VH1 reality show premieres this Sunday, so the failed singer is wagging her gums for the celeb news shows in exchange for some promo support!
She sat down with Access Hollywood and opened up about each individual Hogan family member.
And Jesus too!
The blonde says of the Hogan's recent turmoils, "I don't think our family is falling apart and getting destroyed. I just think it's rearranging itself in the way God meant it to be because it wasn't working how it was."
On her mother, cougar supremo Linda: "It's kind of disappointing to me because she was always my hero when I was growing up. I feel like I have to be the mother now."
Is she playing mommy to Linda's 19-year old boyfriend, too?
On her brother, Nick: "He's in there with hardened criminals…Nick got into an accident. These people have actually deliberately committed a crime." In regards to the family of her brother's crash victim she said, "I can't believe what materialistic things can do to people's mindset."
Um, seems like Nick deliberately (and criminally) drove drunk and recklessly to us!
On her dad, Hulk: She says her dad's current girlfriend, who is 20 years his junior, is "a great foundation for him right now."
Dayum. The Hogans like their meat fresh and young!
Hulk Hogan-fronted charity, The Freedom Group, 'brags' that it's raising cash for John Graziano's medical care, but in reality, the org has yet to give the Nick Hogan car crash victim or his family a penny.
According to the report, the 'charity' raised $60k last year.
NONE of that has been given to John's family.
What's the hold up?
Sounds a little shady to us!
As we reported previously, The Freedom Group cancelled their biggest fund-raising event because of the Hogan drama.
Fishy.
So an event fronted by Hogan that would have potentially helped Graziano was called off at the last minute…sounds like some maneuvering is going on!
Looks like Hulk Hogan and family have ruined things for a 4th of July charity event!
Non profit organization The Freedom Group felt it was best to cancel their annual "National Wave" — which basically would have been a bunch of people across the country waving towels in unison at 9:00 PM on July 4 — because of the Hogans.
The incarcerated Nick Hogan actually used to work for the organization as well!
Freedom Group spokesperson Sean Schumura said, "We didn't want people entangling us into some soap opera."
Ironically, Schumura testified on Nick's behalf at his sentencing.
Hogan's manager, Darren Prince, went on spin offensive and said, Schumura and the Freedom Group "believe and love Hulk and decided it would be best to postpone the event."
He went on to say that the "soap opera" Schumura referred to was the "media and paparazzi that would show up purely to ask about his personal life and not the event at hand."
