Several months ago, there were reports that the Hogans were divorcing. In fact, it was originally a blind item here and then a blind item revealed I believe. Even though there were rumblings about a divorce, it could have also been done to increase ratings for their floundering reality show.
Now, comes the news that Linda Hogan filed for divorce and that Hulk Hogan was just shocked. Well, unless someone is cheating, a divorce rarely comes as a surprise. With Linda's retractions and Hulk's less than Academy Award winning reactions at the breakup announcement comes word that perhaps the Hogans are divorcing in order to avoid paying more money to John Graziano.
John Graziano as you will all remember is the former Marine and passenger in Nick Hogan's car when it crashed after allegedly racing another car and traveling at speeds of up to 106mph.
A divorce between the Hogans would divide the assets of the couple. This would include cars. As it stands currently, the car that Nick was driving was registered in both couple's names. If the couple divorced, and only Hulk Hogan kept his name on the registration, it would be much harder to go after Linda Hogan.
There would probably have to be a separate suit filed against her and that suit would have to determine how much control she had over the car her son was driving. If, the car was transferred to Hulk's name, it could be argued that Hulk had complete control over its operation and use, and obviously since Linda didn't want it in the divorce she had nothing to do with it while they were married.
This strategy could potentially save half of the Hogan fortune and make it possible for Brooke Hogan to get the surgery she needs to try and look like a female. I don't think there is enough money in the world for that, but I'm sure they want to give it a shot.
Last week I discussed how John Graziano's parents were fighting over control of John's care. John's dad withdrew his objections last week, and John's mom was appointed guardian in charge of health decisions, while a neutral party was appointed to be in charge of John's finances and any civil suit.
I just wanted to say the parents did the right thing, and glad they stopped thinking about the money and their son, and are just focusing on their son.
Well...wouldnt put it past 'em!
ReplyDeleteI never watched the show.
ReplyDeleteWe ran into Hulk years ago while on the same plane and he was a jackass then. I am sure he is a bigger jackass now. He was mean to the stewardesses (whatever pc name they are called now - no offense intended) and yelled at someone (no, not us!) who asked for his autograph and tried to talk to him. Sad they are splitting only because I think it's sad when marriages fall apart with kids involved regardless of age or who they are.
I feel even sadder for the Graziano family who after all their continued suffering sound like they are about ready to get sheeped by the Hogans. Arrogant, Stingy & Mean people suck!
The good news is that the Grazianos' accident liability plaintiffs' lawyers (and those who want to be) are reading all this and taking notes as we speak. I'm pretty sure the Hogans are toast, financially. Did they think the other side hadn't already thought of the Old Fake Divorce Scam?
ReplyDeleteI hope they lose every penny they ever had.
ReplyDeleteThey belong in a trailer park, in more ways than one
I'd feel a hell of a lot more sorry for the "ex-marine" if he'd been wearing his seat-belt because something tells me that he wasn't forced to be in that speeding car against his will... Don't get me wrong, it's a real shame that this happened but come on, not wearing a seat-belt in this day and age is just silly nonsense.
ReplyDeleteAnd to see anyone lose everything they've worked for because of two kids making poor life choices is just sad...
Ent, I'm not a lawyer and I don't even play one on TV but doesn't the fact that they were married at the time of the accident automatically put her at legal risk?
