Hogan Family in the News

The never-ending Hogan saga continues. Since I last took a look at the turmoil in the family quite a few things have happened. Hulk and Linda went to court about a condo. Linda called the cops on her husband, was reprimanded by the 911 operator, and later blamed the whole mess on her daughter. Of course dysfunction is rewarded and the family will be making money due to their problems starting this weekend when a new show about the family starts airing.

Brooke Knows Best Starts on Sunday
On Sunday, VH1 will be premiering Brooke Knows Best, a spin-off of Hogan Knows Best. This show follows Brooke as she moves out on her own while dealing with all of the nonsense going on with her family.

The first episode of the show can be seen in its entirety in vh1.com right now at this link. I warn you not to watch it though. It is one of the worst shows I have ever seen. TBO.com has posted a review of the show here.

Whatcha Gonna Do When the Cops Come After You?
One of the more bizarre incidents in this saga took place a few weeks ago. Since there are several different versions of what happened, it is difficult to know what the truth is but from what I can tell Brooke called her dad when she went to her mom's house and saw some men there that she didn't recognize. Hulk then drove by the house and an enraged Linda saw him and then followed him while on the phone with 911. She claimed to the operator that Hulk was violating an injunction and the 911 operator was telling her to stop following him since the order is for her protection. The cops stopped Hulk and let him go when they found out there was no restraining order against him. Audio of the 911 call and police documents related to this incident can be found here.

After the incident happened, Linda blamed Brooke for the situation and accused her of being a spy for her dad. Several media outlets reported that Brooke didn't want to speak to her mother anymore. If they do start speaking again, I'm sure that somehow the transcripts of that conversation will "accidentally" leak out to the media.

Hulk and Linda Back in Court
Earlier this week, Hulk and Linda found themselves in court over a condominium at the Palms in Las Vegas. Prior to the divorce, the family put an $840,000 deposit down on the $4.2 million condo.

Hulk's feels that it would be fiscally irresponsible to move forward with the deal considering the divorce, the state of the economy, the plunging value of real estate, and the potential lawsuit from the Graziano family and he is willing to lose the deposit. Linda feels that since Hulk reneged on the agreement that he should join Nick in prison. Hulk discussed the trial with Bubba the Love Sponge. Click here to listen to that conversation.

Linda Files Motion
Last week, Hulk called Bubba the Love Sponge and mentioned that Linda filed a motion against him because she is in constant fear of her life. Hulk claims that he hasn't even been in Florida lately except to be with his children. According to Bubba, Hulk is willing to give up 50% of his stuff to her but Linda is after his future earnings. An excerpt of that conversation can be found here. The papers that Linda filed about both the claims of stalking and the Vegas condo can be found here.
